Highly refined reagent quality evil.
This Twitter thread is a HUGELY important explanation of how Elon works. Not just Elon but most of Silicon Valley. A concise history of the 'Paypal Mafia'.

Failed quality control and nonexistent customer service are NOT results of sloppy management, which will be resolved after growth slows down. Growth cannot slow down, so quality and service will never be ALLOWED to happen.

These techmonsters are perfectly explicit and open about their goals. They have NO intention of creating jobs or products, NO intention of making things that people can use.

SHARE VALUE is the entire universe.

Products and services are just one incidental and DISPOSABLE way of increasing share value. Anything that gets in the way of increasing share value DOES NOT EXIST.

Contrast this with the attitude expressed by Philco in 1938. Philco was a privately owned high-tech company, at the cutting edge of radio and TV development. Philco's slogan FOR INTERNAL USE, not just for public consumption, was "Sell merchandise that doesn't come back to customers who do come back."

Later constants and variables thought: Capitalists haven't changed. There were plenty of techmonster types around in the '20s. Same criminal characters running scams on the same subjects. Automobile scams, medical scams, subway scams, electronics scams, solar power scams. Same as now. What made the difference in the '30s was FDR. He clamped down HARD on the entire stock racket. In 1938 the cheaters and criminals still WANTED to commit crimes, but couldn't.

HONEST BUSINESS WAS THE ONLY CHOICE, so business was honest.

FDR's clamps remained in place until the '70s when first Nixon, then Reagan, then Bill Clinton, gradually disassembled all of the controls. Since 1998 there are no laws to hold back a feral criminal.
