A snakeoil salesman with a lot of money and the skill to convince gullible people into giving him more money.

There you would be wrong. He has an extensive patent list. He is a visionary and entrepreneur.

But he is an entrepreneur, an innovator and the richest man on the planet, not to mention his IQ is estimated anywhere between 20-70 points higher than average (depending on who you believe)

Boy, please continue repeating lies that have been debunked thousands of times over the past two decades. It's seriously funny how far the gullible Musk simps go to warp their reality to maintain their beliefs.

No fair trials for anyone suspected of fraud, gotcha. Or how else am i supposed to interpret this? You think fraudsters consult with a lawyer (maybe with a disbarred one I guess?) how to best do it or something? Or what would be the reason to go after the lawyer who represents someone? You know it's innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

THereis a lot of sense in not allowing politics in forums not built for the purpose. I rest my case.

General topics is open topic territory. You don't have to go there if you don't want to and there's no reason it can't stay civil. Personally, I like the political argument as it helps keep me honest with myself and I don't have to ruin personal relationships over the subject.

I note both points so feel I should point out that as long as personal attacks and insults (red lines) do not occur, close monitoring is maintained.
