It's discuss-able. Because it's not opinion. You can draw upon actual recorded events as evidence. This can go beyond anecdote (which still has a level of validity) and even into statistics if we dig deep enough. The trouble with your anecdotal experience is that the sample size comes from one country... a wealthy country as well.
When resources are plentiful things are different. When resources are scarce our base nature is exposed.
This is part of the reason why it's covered up. Even for yourself. You don't realize how awful you can get until you've lost everything.
You can analyze the psychology of a country like China where something like this:
is common place. What is the statistical likelihood for this to be an anomaly? Of two hit and run drivers running over a child AND every passerby just ignoring it? You can make a somewhat true statement here that most of the Chinese populace is quite awful. I would know, because I am one of them.
The fact that I am chinese myself, and I am calling MY own race/country quite awful shows you how dispassionate and logical my analysis is. It is very hard for someone to recognize the evil within their race, let alone themselves. This is how you know my answer lacks bias, which is very much different from your outlook.
But you must also ask yourself, what causes the Chinese to be like that?
It's because China was once a hard place to live. The mentality of harder times still pervades much of the populace. There was once a time in colonial america where the mentality was much the same thing. There are even parts of modern america, where you can see the same thing.
Go to places where resources are scarce and people are barely scraping buy. The projects, the ghettos. You will see evil in it's purest form. Evil is a biological base necessity because it is what humans must turn to in order to survive hard times.
Either way this is not an explanation for why Elon is "awful" but it is an explanation for how low humans can sink. For how much capability for being awful we have in our nature. Elon is well within these typical boundaries.
