Talk:Elon Musk

message: I don't get how this article seriously can have something like that as a source: https://newrepublic.com/article/177695/elon-musk-scoundrel-year-2023-new-republic
It's literally a straight up hater article on the level of an angry reddit user, where they claim he is the ultimate evil and make statements that almost hurt from it's stupidity like this one "The rockets from his rocket company, SpaceX, keep exploding".
It apparently does not matter what quality a source has, as long as it supports the point of view of the (generally left leaning) Wikipedia editors. Lrzw (talk) 22:57, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Amen! I was just reading the Wiki about Elon. Same hate on him in Wiki. Accusing him of misinformation about Covid (untrue). All of these writeups are incorrectly done on Elon. They list his accomplishments and then bash him for his opinions, which we all have and can change as one gets wiser to the world and the people in it. These lefties have not grown up yet and refuse to, because they act as though they already know it all. They dont seem to understand that people grow and change over time.  Its called WISDOM. 2603:6010:1105:E395:8C1F:67A9:3A0F:D22D (talk) 14:37, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

text: Just because a source is WP:GREL does not warrant inclusion. "Scoundrel of the Year" is a non-notable anti-award (no wiki page), so one can claim that it fails WP:DUE considering other listed awards/honors in that section have their own article. That is also probably why other "Scoundrel of the Year" winners (e.g. Zuckerberg, DeSantis) don't have it mentioned on their pages. Ptrnext (talk) 07:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Some of the sources in this article are ridiculously bad 

message: On October 11, 2023, Elon Musk directed Tesla to halt charging fees for its 22 supercharger stations in Israel for nearly three weeks. By making it free for Israel's 17,120 Tesla car-owners to charge, Tesla's free charging policy helped facilitate travel during Israel's mobilization for the Israel-Hamas war. When asked if he would aid Gazans as well, Must stated that "I would like to help those in Gaza who want peace but have no way to do so. In general, I want all humans to be happy and prosperous, without regard to race, creed, religion or anything else."

thread_title:  Suggested addition to Politics section before/after paragraph discussing Elon Musk's views on Israel-Hamas war 

message: "The tweet was widely regarded as echoing white nationalist sentiments[429] " The statement should be modified to offer more concrete evidence supporting the claim that the tweet was widely perceived as echoing white nationalist sentiments. The current citation refers to an article in the 'Ideas' subsection of The Atlantic, a news outlet with known biases, authored by Yair Rosenberg, whose work has been criticized for its highly opinionated perspective. This weakens the reliability of the content on Wikipedia. 115.98.235.148 (talk) 15:11, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
