> I’m a little confounded that you suggest Elon believes shorting to be “morally wrong”. Why conflate his ego and financial stake with “morality”?
Because in the over ten years I have of watching what he says and what he does I've found him to be a forthright person who says what he thinks. He's not the type to intentionally deceive others. He's often wrong, but he's upfront with what he thinks. Also he's shown many times to not be interested in financial merits. He wants to achieve great things and be known for doing great things. He only cares about money in the sense that it lets him achieve the goals he wants to achieve.
> Plus, Elon has proven himself to be morally nefarious more than anything. With the law and social expectations and plenty more.
I've not seen that myself. I've seen him let his emotions get out of control many a time that he often regrets, but I've not seen him act in an explicitly nefarious way.
> The only thing I can find about Elon and his utterance of morality is him saying it was morally wrong to ban Donald Trump. What a joke.
He didn't say that it was morally wrong to ban Donald Trump. That was an oft-repeated synthesized quote that was also taken out of context. He doesn't particularly like Donald Trump at all.
