And I maintain that the capacity to truly articulate one’s own intentions resides solely with the individual, and this principle is no less applicable to Musk. We are not the proxy of his mind, and only he, the bearer of his thoughts, is able to tell us what his intentions are or were. It may seem alluring to some people to project interpretations onto his actions, particularly in light of his often politically fraught and somewhat inept conduct, any presumption that we can definitively comprehend his underlying motivations remain speculative at best. Those who have distanced themselves from him are, more often than not, reacting not to his genuine intent, but rather to their own constructed perceptions of him though their response, inherently subjective, is entirely within their purview. Let’s not forget that Elon Musk’s daughter famously ended up proving herself wrong about him.
