>No matter how ruthlessly power / money was accumulated by a person, the fact that they somehow did it, justifies it.

Elon ruthlessly created reusable rockets, satellite internet and electric cars.

>It's undeniable that some progress happened thanks to Elon, but people like him can't stay in their lane and immediately assume they are demi-gods capable of doing anything.

If Elon's ego causes him to make increasingly bad investments, capitalism will automatically assign his wealth to people who can make better use of it.

>Unchecked power is not and will never be a good thing.

Elon doesn't have unchecked power in any capacity, he follows laws like everyone else. His pay package was struck down by a judge despite the shareholders wanting it.
