Eh, I don't particularly care much about Elon, he'll eventually go away. But more competition is usually good.
Really, the guy currently in charge of trying to dismantle the US government you don't particularly care about? Assuming you aren't from the US, so perhaps US internal politics don't bother you, but he is also pushing for the far right in Germany, which means he wont stop at destroying America for his own profit. The richest man in the world is currently dismantling one of the largest countries in the world should probably concern everybody in the world, at least a little.
I am from the US, and Musk doesn't actually have the power to do anything, so I'm much more concerned about Trump, who does have the power to do things. Trump is largely following Musk's recommendations, probably without a second thought, and that's a much bigger problem than whatever Musk is doing.
On the scale of things I care about, billionaires are pretty far down there, and the POTUS is pretty far up there.
