I think he's just a hypocrite who will say anything and contradict it when it's better for him.

Have you ever seen his trans daughter who he disowned for being trans talk about him? He's not a good dude. For years when I first heard of him I was tricked too. Look into him some more man. He's a piece of shit.

Here's some reasons:

Taking credit for other people 's work. I don't think he actually founded any of the companies he owns besides the boring company. That hasn't done anything right? Lol

Having emotional temper tantrums where he tries to ruin people's lives, for example that diver he called a pedophile for no reason.

Again his hypocrisy around his political beliefs. For example how he champions "Free speech" but also will censor words like 'cis'. It's clear to me and many others that "free speech" to Elon just means people are free to say what Elon wants.

Personally I don't give a shit about Musk. I don't care about any celebrities but I try to not hate any of them because that's way too much attention I'm giving to someone who is so insignificant to me. I'm just always aware of them from being on these social media sites because there's always a legion of fans and haters. Maybe I'm really just complaining about social media and wish we were in the time of MySpace. Things were simple then and the internet was wild and untamed.

I mean you give enough of a shit to comment twice so 🤷‍♂️

I don't think a multibillionaire is just a celebrity. The companies he owns and the power he has there aside, he also controls many politicians through lobbying deals.

I feel you on missing the days of the old web so I think you should know it's tech billionaires like musk who have destroyed it. Whether through their direct control over platforms like Twitter or by how they have regulated the web through lobbying of our politicians.
