I know someone that Musk wanted to hire.
they went to his house to meet with him and his was such an utter cvnt to his then wife - in front of them - they refused to ever work for him. This person has a thick skin but they said it was "disgusting".
Musk just got someone that won't say no.

Tbh, it's a little mixed when it comes to Musk.
Another friend has worked at tesla since the beginning. He's unbelievably proud and loves the man, but then look at the safety record and the massive list of issues at the factory including all the lawsuits where Musk clearly didn't give a shit and it paints a different picture.
I actually know a few people of similar wealth and it's incredibly rare that they don't become dicks. I can actually only think of one, and the rest either got there by being pretty horrific/cut throat in the first place or the money changed them on the way up.
Some of these guys couldn't get action, were basically dorks/geeks who struck it big etc. They get in to extreme wealth and commend power, and suddenly that bedroom dwelling geek wants to act like a like a playboy. Not saying this is exactly the situation with Musk, but as said, they way he was to his then wife was apparently disgusting, and now he's with some subserv goth.

The entertainment industry does do that a little, especially to people who had say socially meagre younger years - they get to a position of fame, money and a lot of people following their every whim and before you know it, they're living some dark teenage fantasy in an adult body, fueled with money and access.
The industry also attracts people that want to be nefarious. It's why all these fuckers are now going down - they got in to it as the fat/ugly/odd kid in school but being a writer or producer or director lets you be around fame hungry starlets. It's also full of facilitators and subservients, and there's standards that just aren't tolerated in any other industry. Startup culture has it own set of workplace problems but it feels like a holiday compared to the entertainment industry.
Seriously, when I first got in to hollywood, I have never worked as hard, for so little, but yet have this insidious mantra floating around you "there's a thousand people who would kill to have your job". That mantra typically isn't incorrect, because A) people don't actually know what they were getting themselves in to, B) a lot of people take it for years as that's how you pay your dues etc. and C) once you're in it, you're afraid to be out.
The Kevin Spacey film, Swimming with Sharks is so fucking on point, it hurts. I watched it long before ever getting in the industry and then one of the scenes actually played out in real life 10 years later. I thought it was candid camera or something, but no, that shit actually happens.
