Elon Musk

<p>Xavier Niel does not mince his words when he talks about Elon Musk. The founder of Free, a telecom pioneer, delivers a clear opinion on the boss of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter). In his book <strong>Une sacrée envie de foutre le bordel</strong>, Niel calls Musk an undeniable genius but also a dangerous figure, a position that starkly contrasts with the usual praises given to the American entrepreneur.</p>
<h2 id="h-elon-musk-brillant-mais-un-electron-libre-incontrolable">Elon Musk: Brilliant, but an uncontrollable free electron</h2>
<p>“You can be both a brilliant entrepreneur and an asshole,” says Xavier Niel bluntly. A phrase that, with its frankness, breaks with the usual veneration accorded to Musk.</p>

<p>Indeed, the American is often <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/qui-est-elon-musk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">praised for his major innovations</a>. Creator of SpaceX, revolutionary of electric cars with Tesla, and architect of the transformation of Twitter into X, Musk has undoubtedly marked many sectors. But for Niel, this brilliance hides a much darker side.</p>
<p>Behind the genius innovator, according to the founder of Free, there is a character who often oversteps the boundaries.</p>
<p>Musk, instead of contenting himself with pushing technological boundaries, also seems to push the boundaries of public decency.</p>
<p>His incendiary statements on X, often controversial, shock with their brutality. Musk’s behavior on this platform is, according to Niel, a real breeding ground for hate and misinformation. For Niel, it is no longer just a matter of inappropriate words but an act of social responsibility that leaves a mark.</p>
<p>Where others might see mere eccentricity, Niel sees a deeper threat. Elon Musk does not just provoke, he destabilizes the political sphere, notably through his open support for Donald Trump.</p>
<p>“He creates violence,” insists Niel, pointing out the impact that words can have when they come from such an influential leader as Musk.</p>
<h2 id="h-une-morale-entrepreneuriale-la-ligne-rouge-a-ne-pas-franchir">An entrepreneurial morality: the red line not to be crossed</h2>
<p>“He says an incredible amount of bullshit,” claims <a href="https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/direct" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Xavier Niel.</a> This statement sums up not only Niel’s exasperation with Musk’s public appearances but also highlights a fundamental vision of entrepreneurship. For Niel, it is imperative to <strong>show morality</strong>, even as a visionary entrepreneur. Success cannot justify everything.</p>
