>I'm leaning towards the third possibility, but I'm curious what other readers think here. True "haters" are way more rare than overly sensitive people imagine, and those people have a tendency to label any criticism as "hate". I think it's as simple as that. How else do you explain Elon Musk being on the cover of mainstream magazine publications 50 times in the past 5 years while at the same time claiming the media treats him unfairly? These overly sensitive people are the same type who believe their accomplishments are all skill, no luck.
