It's hearing him say things like that it's everyone's responsibility to do things that make the world a better place. A lot of people seem oblivious to that side of him. I allow that he might be wrong in what he's doing, but I believe that he genuinely is driven by the wish to improve society for everyone.

Well yeah, I give you that. I do believe taxing the wealthy is a good idea. But it's also true that at this time I don't think we have governments who use tax money properly. So if a billionaire is going to be useful.. maybe he can use his money to better effect. Not saying Elon is (or isn't).
