I seem to remember that there was a biography about Elon Musk that detailed his treatment by his father. It's not good, and I thought they were estranged for a long time.
You want to know why Elon is as fucked up as he is, you just look to this man right here.
To many people blame the parents for what the person is as an adult. They may have influence, but they also have the ability to make their own choices. He's a fucked up guy so on his own. His father had very little to do with that.
It's just a coincidence they're both white supremacists then?
That's addressed on the "They may have influence..." part.
You can be a white supremacist without you family, and you can break the cycle.
The guy has all the money in the world. He can buy a big island, be happy, and be king dipshit of everything he sees. But no, he made a choice to keep being an insufferable nazi asshole to the rest of us instead.
I'm of the opinion that a lot of people if not most arguably don't really make a choice about who they are. They don't live with intentionality, they don't consider their agency, they just run on autopilot with the baseline personhood they were built with.
There's a good chance that Elon has never made a real choice in his life. He's probably one of the most pathetic people in the world.
Not to say that absolves blame, you're absolutely responsible for your own actions and lack of thinking.
