> Seriously, what has he done to deserve this negativity? Interesting isn't it? It's almost like someone turned on a switch and suddenly there is rampant anti-elon musk sentiment. What has elon musk done recently? Well, he went after the biased media. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1000560049389907969?lang=en https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1000560049389907969?lang... and the "journalists" have been waging a war against him. There is a ridiculous amount of news industry workers here ( one of the reasons for the rampant censorship here and on other social media sites is to accommodate the news industry ). The news companies have social media teams pushing their narrative all over social media along with their third party affiliates and ngos. The media's current punching bag is zuckerburg ( hence the nonstop facebook stories here ). But zuckerburg is giving in to the media, so I suspect the new punching bag will be elon musk. Expect a lot of negative stories, comments and threads about tesla and elon musk going forward. At least until musk apologizes or gives in to the media.

Alternatively, Musk does a lot of bad things and the journalists are rightfully calling him out for it. Musk is notoriously anti-union, continually over-promises then under-delivers, has continually treated his wives as trophies, and has designed a worse subway just because he doesn't want his knees to touch some peasant's knees. He's just another shitty billionaire

  That's true. Musk, like all people, have their positives and negatives. But he's always been this way. The question is why the sudden change in sentiment? And as bad as elon musk is, the journalists are much worse. I'd rather have a world full of elon musks than journalists. > Musk is notoriously anti-union To be fair, no entrepreneur in a fledgling/new industry is pro-union. Actually, no entrepreneur is pro-union. > continually over-promises then under-delivers That's shareholders' concern, not ours. > has continually treated his wives as trophies Welcome to humanity. Are you going to blame his wives who loved to be trophies? Seems like personal business between consenting adults. > and has designed a worse subway just because he doesn't want his knees to touch some peasant's knees. As opposed to the elitist journos who love to slum it with the peasants right? > He's just another shitty billionaire Who the media loved. For nearly 20 years, the media wasn't too concerned with his anti-union stance, his trophy wives, his failure to delivery on his promises, etc.

    Imagine being such a bootlicker that you support the objectification of women: https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-starter-wife/ https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-start...

      There is no need for insults. I said elon musk has positives and negatives. How is that being a bootlicker? And I never said I supported the objectification of women. I said I believed in independent free choice of both men and women. If a woman chooses to be a trophy wife, that's her right as a free individual. If a man chooses to marry a trophy wife, that's his right as a free individual. Whether a man wants to marry a man or a woman wants to marry a woman or a billionaire wants to marry a trophy wife or a trophy wife wants to marry a billionaire, it's their right. As long as they are consenting adults. If consenting adults doing what they want bothers you, then the problem is with you, not them.
