At risk of taking this discussion too seriously, there is a crucial difference though - Wheatley is likable as himself and then lets power corrupt him. Elon was always a megalomaniac who put up a likable facade
Considering Twitter was already on fire before Elon took charge I guess you can say the guys before Elon were like glados that was still trying to flood the facility with deadly natural toxen
It's funny that people think that Elon Musk is making all of these decisions in a vacuum and that the Saudi government just hands out $22B to anyone who asks with no oversight or expectation of ROI.
