It does seem like there are better reasons to dislike Elon Musk. Like the fact that he is basically a narcissistic man-baby who thinks he's smarter and funnier than he actually is.

Assuming he actually has narcissistic personality disorder. I am extremely concerned with the word narcissist being used as a synonymoum for “evil” or “immoral”, when in reality narcissists are persons who appear to lack an understanding of the concept of morality - they are amoral, as opposed to intentional wrongdoers, but their condition makes them extremely dangerous, particularly those who are “high functioning.” However only a mental health clinician can diagnose narcissism.
Which takes us to the other part of my argument, which is narcisissm, insofar as it represents an inability to either discern, or more likely, properly weigh the importance of morality in the decision making process, combined with a sense of superiority, is a personality disorder that one could argue might have the extent of, to some extent, reducing moral culpability for evil acts vs. a person with a healthy conscience who engages in acts of evil for reasons of personal advancement. Not all evildoers are narcissistic, and if we allow the two terms to become conflated, we risk a loss of vital semantic information and we also run the risk of failing to hold evildoers to proper account, inasumuch as this responsiblity falls on us and not God (which is to say, very little).
We can using Christian morality as an objective metric ascribe evil and sinful behavior to individuals based only on documented actions. In the case of Elon Musk, I see two obvious incidents of actions which are reprehensible, the Satanic attire incident and the false accusation of paedophilia against one of the rescuers of the trapped youth soccer team in Thailand, where Musk’s absurd intervention with a makeshift submarine was unsolicited and unhelpful and such a reaction ought not to have been unanticipated. These, combined with his violations of SEC regulations with his twitter account, do point a negative picture, but we have nothing which compares, with, for example, the repeated marital infidelity of Bill Clinton, or the recent mass-vehicular-homicide by Darrell Brooks, a convicted paedophile who was on bail after he attempted to run over his ex-girlfriend, who he had offended against for the first time when she was 15. These two incidents represent clear and obvious evil by members of the elite and members of the bottom of the social ladder, although not all elites escaped justice in the manner of Clinton, for example, Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted, and Harvey Weinstein, also convicted of grossly immoral behavior.
Now interestingly of these individuals, only Darrell Brooks was diagnosed a narcissist, and in the case of former President Clinton, we will likely never get a diagnosis by a mental health clinician, at least an honest one, as this requires an actual in person examination.
So my argument is that if Elon Musk is evil, the evidence of this are the incidents I mentioned, but this is evidence of immoral behavior and not narcissism. Unless he is arrested and subjected to a forensic mental health examination we will likely never know whether he is a narcissist, a psycopath or has other “Dark Triad” personality traits, or is merely engaging in immoral behavior of his own volition without any mental health disorders aiding in his decision to embrace evil.
Likewise, as Christians we are mandated to pray for the reform of such evildoers, and not use their own evil as a sort of benchmark to compare ourselves against, something which I, in my extreme sinfulness, have occasionally done. There is an extreme risk of looking at, say, a serial killer, and being tempted to boast in not being as horrible a sinner as that person, and in so doing excuse our own failings on the basis of a false sense of moral relativism which is not shared by God, who views all categories of sin as equally offensive.
