I think a big part of the problem is that people tend to see things in black and white (or rather, fail to account for nuance).
Elon is a massively intelligent and business savvy guy with strong engineering talent.
He is also unhinged and an absolute idiot.
Both things are true at the same time and in different ways. People tend to let one of the two perspectives overwhelm their impression of him as a whole.

It's "Says the thing a large group of us have deemed impolite" vs "Working hard to build an optimistic future based on large technological improvements". I can imagine people who take the time to be good at assessing either of those find it hard to care about or understand the other one.
