Listen to what? What makes you wish you could shake his hand?

Freedom of expression. Stating opinions that some might consider taboo, or just plain wrong.
Also, while I was never big into the "EV" thing....
Way back when before I was a total nobody, I sort of had a business issue with Musk's company. Quite frankly - I lost. Of course I was never a big enough shot to ever deal with Musk, but I'd say I was chatting with oh, 4 reporting levels under Musk. I thought I was making progress towards a certain goal but Musk and his people - well, couldn't be budged. Truthfully, I'd probably be realistically 5-7 million ahead today had they not stuck to their guns :). So , I was a bit sour on the Musk phenomenon, and also, turned off by the Liberal 401K'ers all happy about their EV vanity and Musk worship.
But I have no choice to admit, whatever his quirks are - man, larger than life - and a visionary. Geez now I sit around the house, and my biggest endeavor is flipping a house every 6 months and planning family vacations. I take pride in organizing myself to be a "low income American" lol. I could've really "gone for it", but didn't. THIS guy Musk - he says "I'm gonna start an EV company". "I'm gonna do rockets' - and shit, he does it. Larger than life, and a mentality so superior to my own.
So for these reasons I am intrigued by him.
But, I fear he will piss off the wrong crowd here. He best be careful.
Other men, more powerful than him - have gone down that road and failed.
It's still a generation before tentacles and wings get cut.
But, the day - is coming.
