A quotation from Joseph Addison

Even the greatest actions of a celebrated person labour under this disadvantage, that, however surprising and extraordinary they may be, they are no more than what are expected from him; but, on the contrary, if they fall any thing below the opinion that is conceived of him, though they might raise the reputation of another, they are diminution to his.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman

Andrew Harnik's report for Axios unveils a remarkable decline in the reputations of Elon Musk's Tesla and SpaceX. The Axios Harris Poll reveals Tesla's shocking drop from 8th to 95th place, with low scores in character and ethics, while SpaceX's reputation shifted from 'excellent' to 'fair.' This decline has extended to Musk’s political standing as well. For further details, [read it here](axios.com/2025/05/20/axios-har). Kudos to Harnik for this insightful analysis. #ElonMusk #Tesla #SpaceX #Reputation #Poll #Axios #PublicOpinion

It is the punishment of bad princes to be thought worse than they are.

Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 14 “Des Gouvernements [On Governments],” ¶ 15 (1850 ed.) [tr. Collins (1928), ch. 13]
