We've come to expect "revisionist history in real time" with Trump. I never thought it would happen with another high-profile figure, but it's happening with Musk. The media likes to see him as a swashbuckling renegade heroic figure, emerging from the mythical mists/

I see him as a sociopathic, delusional South African immigrant with hair plugs and a drug problem.
