Hmmmm, do you feel the same way about the hate ons for Biden, Pelosi, George Soros, Fetterman, or to be fair, Trump, DeSantis, MTG?
I guess we better stop mocking ANYONE unless we check with you first to make sure we aren't displaying a "hate-on."
Perhaps I should clarify.
Elon is a weird dude. There's no denying that. But then again, creatives and innovators are often weird people.
However, he has done a lot of good for humanity in general, ref SpaceX and Tesla, and other ambitious projects he's tried to take on that no one else wanted to touch, due to the risk of failure. SpaceX, in particular has achieved a truly AMAZING degree of success in revolutionizing space travel, and stands poised to completely change the paradigm.
I respect Elon for that, and my chief interest in him is based on these technological advancements he has caused to happen.
I also note that a few years ago, the public view of him was "eccentric but good."
Then, he made some political statements indicating his frustration with far-left politics, and further stating that he considered himself a liberal but felt that the liberal wing had moved so far Left that it had left him behind, somewhere right of the middle where he had not expected to be. That's when the hate suddenly began.
Then came Twitter, something I wish he'd left alone, and the hate *exploded* and now EVERYTHING HE DOES is tarred with this brush.
If you want to hate on him for his politics or Twitter, fine.
But at least acknowledge his contributions to human advancement, and don't let your political hate poison your view of those as well.
