Johnny Depp has called Elon “Elon Mollusk”, during his brief regarding the affair between Amber Heard and Elon Musk. Elon’s contributions in different sectors have made him the leading entrepreneur of all time but he is also slammed for various matters surrounding his business and personal life.
Musk has cofounded several controversial companies, including electric car maker Tesla, rocket producer SpaceX and tunneling startup Boring Company – Hyperloop, of which he had managed to stir problems with the labour for violating labour laws.
Musk has gained attention for all the wrong reasons, and today, the No1 Billionaire (2022) in the world, and No 1 in Forbes 400 (2022), Elon Musk is currently the hot topic among the celebrity world as they get together to criticize Elon;
Musk is “one of the biggest contributors to the global wealth gap”
Although becoming one of the richest people alive is something most people can only dream of many questions about whether or not anyone can become a billionaire by ethical means. Bernie Sanders brought the limelight to this fact when he tweeted, “The 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people. Let me repeat that because it is almost too absurd to believe: the 50 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than some 165 million Americans. That is a moral obscenity.” To which Musk fired back “Lol, I forgot you were still alive”
Elon Musk’s satellites are “clogging space”
Discarding the criticisms that his company is taking too much room in space, Musk claims his thousands of planned satellites would be able to coexist with many others.
“This is not some situation where we’re effectively blocking others in any way. We’ve not blocked anyone from doing anything, nor do we expect to.”Josef Aschbacher, head of the European Space Agency, claimed that Musk was “making the rules” in space. Aschbacher called for coordinated action from the EU and other countries to ensure that SpaceX’s constellation did not prevent other countries or companies from launching their own satellites.
“Musk doesn’t like losing”
The star of Top Gear, Clarkson, found himself at a critical point with Musk and his car company, Tesla, when a Tesla car Clarkson was reviewing for the show ran out of power Tesla decided to sue the BBC, which airs Top Gear, for libel. Musk accused the show of faking the incident. Tesla and Musk lost both the case and their appeal. “Musk doesn’t like losing. Unfortunately, he did twice.… Clarkson says “he’s just got sour grapes” for The Daily Beast. He also claims that he has given good reviews to other Tesla motors and “the poor reviews should not have been taken personally”.
He also added ”I’ve got no ax to grind. He’s the only one who ever behaved in such a petulant way — most industry bosses are a lot more grown-up.”
People suspect that his relationship with Grimes was abusive
Though Elon Musk and Grimes ended their relationship before the birth of their second child, there is plenty of rumors that there was abuse in their partnership.
One such theory claims that Grimes wrote an anonymous Reddit post describing Musk’s controlling behavior. “My (31f) boyfriend (49m) convinced me that we needed to stop talking to my mom. I figured out why and it’s messing me up,” the post said.
The user’s story has certain similarities with Grimes and Musk’s relationship. The user’s boyfriend refused to take her to the hospital when she was pregnant. He was only convinced she was suffering complications after the doctor said she almost died. Grimes eventually exposed the fact that she almost died from complications during her pregnancy.
Another such match is Musk’s relationship with Grime’s mother. In the user’s post, she mentioned her boyfriend and mother didn’t get along, and her boyfriend was allegedly part of Men’s Rights activists groups.
Musk believes the world needs an increase in population.
McCain, the former host of The View, was not too fond of the comments Musk made about the declining birth rates. “Musk has 9 children with 4 different women.” wrote in The Daily Mail, “This impregnate the planet” mentality is creepy and comes off like the actions of a cult leader more than an altruistic person who wants to expand their family and save the planet.” McCain further claims that Musk is peculiar and has no clue of the pain and reality most American families are forced to live with.
His relationship with Amber Heard
During the defamation lawsuit Johnny Depp charged against his ex Amber Heard, Depp’s lawyers alleged she had an affair with Musk before she and Depp broke up. Musk said that both Depp and Heard are “acceptable” people when they are at their best. However, during the period of the trial, some texts that Johnny Depp allegedly sent were less than pleasing. He put down Musk and Heard constantly, and even called Elon Musk “Elon Mollusk.” In other words, Jack Sparrow compared the CEO of Tesla to a slug because he hooked up with his (allegedly) abusive ex-wife.
Although this technology tycoon has passionately contributed to the world in some of the most unbelievable ways, he is not the most humble. What he constantly tries to portray through his tweets could be the reason why people are ever ready to criticize him. What is your take on this?
