Elon Musk vs Existential Comics

I follow a philosophy-based humor account named "Existential Comics" on Facebook and Twitter, and it's always been insightful and funny to read. This time it chimed in with Elon Musk, who decided to start discussing things. First, here's a synopsis of what happened from Existential Comics, after which you'll find screenshots from the conversation as found on Twitter:

So Elon Musk got mad at me yesterday on twitter for saying he was the villain from Atlas Shrugged, argued that he succeeded *in spite* of billions in public funding, then calling me a chimp and blocked me lol. BTW, SpaceX launched a government funded rocket *during* these tweets.

The Internet is amazing.

The synopsis as quoted before the screenshots say it all.

Elon Musk is like the banks: they live because the people's money is what makes them. Talk about your shortcut to austerity...

I can't say how happy I am to see a major capitalist get beat up on his own turf by somebody with Simone de Beauvoir acting their avatar.
