Previous to ~2013 before the boring company bullshit, he was just a nerdy guy with a vision and poor social skills. From memory, he was hard to work for because he expected so much of people and drove them hard. Yes his early money source is sketchy.
I think the popularity after the boring company started to mess him up, basically he became the memes he was sharing, and it broke his brain, then the drugs and money separated him from reality. Now he is so divorced from the experience of the regular person, that no matter what happens…barring the complete loss of his fortune, he will never be the same nerdy guy.
The Boring Company was an attempt to destroy the long distance high speed rail californians had voted for. He did this because he hated trains and didn’t want us to have nice things.
that’s pretty fucking evil. imagine how much CO2 would have been saved if that had actually been built.
I think he lost money on that, and just dropped it after the train program tanked. don’t quote me on it though.
suggests evil.
in the 90s he was such a dick, even peter thiel, the guy who names his dystopian companies after evil artifacts from LOTR, couldn’t deal with him. also he was running in the same circles as peter fucking thiel.
You are correct.

I think he will just get worse.

Back then I wouldn’t put it at evil, I would have gone with malignant greed. The shit he is doing now, is evil.
I like to be careful with terms, so they don’t become watered down, being greedy isn’t evil, it can lead there if taken too far.
