The positive aspects of Musk or Tesla that are highlighted on HN are solely in regards to technology, which is much easier to parse and pick apart (and a worthwhile effort to do so compared to some personal life details). Whether or not we agree on morality of personal life choices, I think we can all agree that SpaceX/Tesla has at a minimum contributed quite a substantial amount of useful technology to humanity, even if the final products are not the best. As for leadership traits, I think its pretty silly to attempt to fit every leader into a mold that is determined to be the most socially acceptable. Its well known that people on the spectrum can have poor social skills, yet be absolutely brilliant in other areas.
