It is rather annoying how much they hate Musk because it affects their coverage. If they want to hate him privately in their rooms at night, that's fine with me. But when you can't trust their coverage of things like rocketry, tunneling, satellite internet or especially twitter, well, why do we need them? They're just going to paint his work in the worst possible light.
- anyoneamous 3y agoHe's just an easy guy to hate, which makes "his" success extra frustrating. Seeing Bezos fail is just a nice illustration of the fact that luck is the largest part of most of these guys' success stories; throwing more money at a problem can often drive extra wins, but not always.
- Panoramix 3y agoYou can dislike him while recognising that there's stuff besides money and luck involved.
- stormfather 3y agoI think the mainstream media hates him particularly because he owns twitter, their biggest existential threat.
- specialist 3y agoCelebrity is a two-edged sword. Even if Musk was a saint, after building him up, popular culture would still gleefully tear him down. This was preordained. Save your pity for Musk; he feeds off the drama, revels in it, has masterfully wielded it to reach his goals.
