I suspect that Elon has fully bought in to the idea of meritocracy insofar as his status as the richest or second richest man on earth is a direct reflection of the value of his character. As such, I also suspect that he thinks as highly of you or me as we may think of gnats or house flies. He likely thinks the average person is a gibbering idiot with a prejudice that is very different from the one developed by retail workers. That is, his prejudice is born not from the experience of learning to run defense and preserve sanity, but from the common, daily pattern of exploiting people, and the fact that he's rich and you're not.
