How Plus/Minus works

A timeline of Elon Musk's notable events, posts and controversies, written neutrally. You decide whether each was good or bad. The site never does.

Reading the chart

Height is (likes − dislikes) ÷ (likes + dislikes + 20). Seed votes are included. The glowing line adds nearby events with a 12-month blur. Year-only dates use a wider blur.

Every event is labelled

Documented: it happened and can be checked directly.
Allegation: someone claims it; no ruling yet.
Finding: a court, regulator or inquiry ruled on it.
