I do love the idea of Tesla realllly advancing Texas even further with clean energy and transit.

I think Elon's personally a privileged d-bag, but he's also a visionary. Where would electric vehicles be without Tesla? Where would public/private space travel be without SpaceX?
I really try to filter out as much Elon-as-person as possible, and focus on Elon-as-CEO. Sometimes that doesn't always work, and the two identities collide pretty terribly, but most of the time it's useful. Regardless of which identity is steering the ship at any given time, he's going to completely change Austin, and almost certainly for the better.
