Is anyone out there who feels sympathy for Elon? His public image is so damaged, I don’t think it can be recovered.

Not much, I guess. His bad behavior goes back a long way, and has hurt many people around him. He used to lie publicly about his first child having died in his arms, when it was the mother's, just to provide a stark example.

He has enough bills to wipe his tears away with, unlike others.

I suspect some of the more recent behavior is attributable to or influenced by drug use, and I feel some sympathy for anyone who comes under their thrall.
