That's interesting to hear. I wouldn't have expected Europeans would have thought about ol' Elon that much.

In general I would argue that he has a good reputation, due to good marketing mostly. A great lot of people see him as some sort of "illuminated visionary" who fosters innovation for the Good™ and will save humanity with SpaceX, Tesla, etc. [I don't agree personally to any of it but that's another story].

Ugh, yeah, I don't hate the guy, but I also think that anyone who still thinks he's a visionary hasn't actually been paying attention to his work/how his companies are going lately.
