It’s not just Elon Musk, it’s (almost) every ridiculously rich billionaire, and big corporations. Their interests are diametrically opposed to that of ‘the common man/woman’. They have power and money and will do literally anything to hang on to that, or to get even more power and money. If that means that Joe Schmoe can’t have a liveable wage, or universal health care, or affordable housing or whatever, then so be it, they really don’t give two hoots.
