Elon is a bit worse than that: he also pollutes our night sky with thousands of satellites for a service that is a capitalist initial landgrab of space (he does it quickly too so he can skip regulation), and then based on a whim and his ill informed political views use said satellite service to meddle in global politics because again, no regulation. So of course still nowhere near the ex kgb agent, but yeah, a pretty big dick too.
He also spent a bucket load darkening those satellites (with moderate success) when astronomers complained
Also he's not the only one wanting a massive satellite data constellation, and he is the only one working hard on making space access cheaper
