Putting up for one thing doesn't mean you're automatically capable of putting up for all things. I'm not diminishing his existing achievements. He's put up very well in specific cases. Case in point: Musk calling a professional diver a pedophile for having a informed opinion based on his personal experience and expertise. The kids were rescued, Musk had nothing additional to put up, and would have been better following the path of shut up. He was already getting a ton of praise for quick action, and got upset that not everyone universally appreciated it.

Musk should not have gotten into a twitter war. The other guy started it (check the full context) but still... where I come from we have a saying: "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it." When you war with a troll you usually end up looking worse than the troll. That being said I care more about Musk's real accomplishments than a few minutes of Twitter asshattery.
