Musk: ‘F***’ People Who ‘Care About Looking Good While Doing Evil’

 X owner Elon Musk slammed people this week who are only interested in looking good for the sake of appearances while what they do is evil.

Musk made the remarks Wednesday during an onstage interview at The New York Times Dealbook Summit 2023 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Musk said in the interview that he had done more for the environment as CEO of Tesla than any other living person.

“Tesla’s done more to help the environment than all other companies combined,” he said. “It would be fair to say that as the leader of the company, I’ve done more for the environment than any single human on earth.”

When asked how he felt about what he said, Musk responded: “I’m saying what I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil. F*** them.”

ELON MUSK: Tesla’s gotten to where it’s gotten with no advertising at all… sells twice as much in terms of electric vehicles, more than all the carmakers in the United States combined. Tesla’s done more to help the environment than all other companies combined. It would be fair to say that as the leader of the company, I’ve done more for the environment than any single human on earth.
