Why do ppl hate him? Bcuz hes rich? Bcuz he knocked up a girl 16 yrs younger than him and didnt marry her? Because he hates the us government? I feel like hating him is such a player hater sort of thing. Musk is a very interesting person imo and is a pretty amazing closet engineer. And even tho he is literally a bigger celebrity than anybody in hollywood he had the balls to host SNL and he killed it.
why would you hate musk if you werent just a jealous feminist loser?
I think Tesla and Spacex are super cool and he has accomplished some great things but I’m not a huge fan on him. He just seems super full of himself and if you look into him there are a lot of things that you learn. For example, he was fired from PayPal, he didn’t start Tesla, and he contradicts himself all the time. After all the recent Twitter stuff with him and bitcoin/dogecoin I’ve started liking him even less because of his weird followers that do anything he wants
it's easy to criticize anyone that has that type of money because it seems like they could *always* be doing something more to help people or whatnot
i like elon though because he's at least doing stuff with his money. like he's not a billionaire doing the same old crap just to stay rich. in my opinion, he's putting a lot of money and research into important and cool things that are going to benefit a lot of people in the long run.

i just really like how he seems very honest in his cynicism. Like he doesnt shy away from attacking his detractors like a fully automatic dolan.
ElcheapoIdk probably because he was such trump ass kisser sellout
when we ended apartheid the next decade saw more elephant and rhino horn ivory poaching than in the previous 50 yrs, and south african cities became more dangerous than the worst parts of baltimore. Im not saying apartheid was good, im just saying theres always tradeoffs.

So is time, so is everything, but the point you make is true as well.
Either way, elon is just another significant pop culture figure but he actually how the power/money/will to do some shit.

This, changing the car industry, changing the space industry. I love it.
I normally have zero care for celebrities/ pop culture icons but Elon is on the short list of ones I'd like to sit down and have conversation with. What other ideas could have floating around yk?
He very much fits the evil super villain crazy obsessed with technology. Also dude supposedly staged a coupe in Bolivia to have access to a large ammount of lithium Ion. And like others said previously he didn’t actually start all these things or design it engineer them, along with the fact that is parents were already wealthy.

If any billionaire is the evil supervillain type it’s Bezos. The horror stories that come out of some of his Amazon facilities alone are enough to qualify him for that.

I don’t think any billionaire hasn’t done something terrible to get to where they are right now. I was just saying his character fits the bill if you know what I mean.
I respect his contributions to tech and scientific progress, but also feel like his whole trying to be edgy, attention seeking persona is too much for me. I can see why that's off putting to lots of people
I think he's hated for being an insane narcissist who everyone thinks is Tony Stark for some reason. Hes not an engineer, didn't start Tesla, and got rich from a dot com company he sold. He capitalized on being a celebrity to raise the value of his own companies when in reality hes an investor businessman in the tech industry.
Its weird that hes got a cult of people that ride his dick so hard cause hes rich, has a physics degree, and funds sci fi shit
Is he the worst person ever like many people make him out to be? Probably not
Is he the planet's savior and some genius inventor like many make him out to be? Probably not
Is he just another savvy investor and eccentric billionaire? Probably
I like Elon, he seems like he might actually be a billionaire that positively changes the world. But at the same time I don’t trust him one bit, he’s got too much money and power. Seems like he could be scheming some sketchy shit at anytime. And I don’t like how much power his tweets have over the crypto market.
ElcheapoIdk ,wasn't really paying attention but seems like a pump and dump scheme to me
Isn't that pretty much all crypto since it's not actually really used for anything? It's been around for 12 years and we still don't use it for anything real besides drugs and money laundering...
For me its because he has this total cult following that will always defend everything he does, says, or anything else... Like... to the point where they will talk shit about NASA because Space X is their favourite space-sports team or something weird.
Like, how dare you criticize the pybertruck or whatever its called, even though it looks like some guy in Tennessee got his hands on some extra sheet metal and decided to slap it onto the side of his 1996 isuzu for 'armor' or something lol.
I mean, I appreciate that hes normalized things like electric vehicles with the growth of Tesla, but on the flip side, he has made them into drive-able iphones, where youre not allowed to do your own repairs on your own car without Tesla sending lawyers at you so they can overcharge you for a replacement tail-light
Like, theres some dude who does Tesla repair videos on youtube because he loves them, but Tesla keeps sending him cease and desists because they want full control over the parts and repair costs so they can charge you whatever they want... Thats some really weird shit
"We're a bunch of hackers who got in on the hype of bitcoin and gme but we held on too long and now elon tweeting things is hurting our portfolios"
