Exactly. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn’t simply a selfish boor who strode in like he owned the place and started bossing people around or like an idiot tourist. Some of y’all make good points, but too many are claiming to have divined Mr. Musk’s intent

Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there “carrying water”. Don’t be ridiculous; that’s a baseless accusation of what I clearly am not doing. As for my style, go ahead and look up my 13 year posting history. I’ll be back later to read your acknowledgement that I typically do refer to people with their honorific. I note that my consistent use of the honorific for Mr. Unsworth somehow escaped your notice, eh. As I said, I’ll be back later to read your acknowledgement of how you talked out of your ass. (An exception, and a recent one only, has been made for Trump, as I do not respect him even enough to proffer a minimal honorific.)

IMO, it’s curious that you use the repeating digits 88 in the middle of your name, along with multiple-tho-not-consecutive 7s, a “j” and a “z”. _Very_ curious.
