I think that the comparison to Judas Iscariot is unfair. Judas got dealt a lousy hand in life, having to play the role of a snitch to fulfill a divine prophecy. He suffered pangs of conscience for betraying J.C., so he unsuccessfully tried to return the blood money that he received. He was so upset with the situation that he hanged himself. (That instantly makes me think of the M*A*S*H theme.)
Judas Iscariot is better than Elon Musk in every way imaginable. It’s not even a contest.
