    It’s interesting to see how egotistical the man is. He’s just shown militaries all around the world that he’s willing to actively meddle in their battles. In other words, he is now a potentially powerful active combatant.

    It’s easy to imagine the US military making plans to take over his operations in case of national emergency, and it’s also easy to imagine other countries coming up with black ops to deal with him in less friendly ways.

    I’m sure he didn’t think about that, but if he did he’d probably feel proud that now he’s important, not realizing that it’s not the kind of importance a normal person would really want.

      This is behaviour that gets you killed. Musk may be rich, but not “weapons manufacturer” or “oil magnate” powerful.
