Why do people hate him?
Done a lot and seems like a cool guy.
shareI like Musk. He is an entertaining character but he is deluded AF about going to Mars.

He's a capitalist who has more money than anybody.
He's not woke.
He has a sense of humor.
Reasons he is hated by many today.
He doesn't need to be woke. He's African American so surely gets enough oppression points to get a pass.
share"He's African American"
Wait, what?
Born in Africa, bro!
shareWhite people from Africa who moved to the US are not African Americans. I guess he might be an Afrikaner, I'm really not sure of his heritage, but I think he had Canadian citizenship at birth as well.
shareApartheid made him.
shareThen a black person who's born in America is not an African American either.
shareJealousy?
shareI’d say mostly jealousy because he’s very rich.
shareThe lemmings loved him when they thought he was one of them. Then he left the plantation and now they hate him. Oh how the left loves to hate. They really do live for it.
shareThat's correct. He didn't fall in line with the Leftist Elite and they turned against him.
I for one appreciate his maverick attitude.
I think it’s probably because he was gifted a ton of money from the government, became the richest person on the planet, and pays less taxes than a waiter in Kentucky …and then politically whines why he should ever have to pay taxes.
I don’t personally hate him, but I get why he wouldn’t be everyone’s favorite person.
"and pays less taxes than a waiter in Kentucky" can I meet that waiter in Kentucky that pays billions in taxes???

Well, it’s about time! I’d make a billion dollar bet that he’s crying about the prospect of finally paying taxes.
shareHe paid millions in taxes before as well. When he sold any shares (Xcom, PayPal, Zip2, Tesla, etc) he paid a lot more taxes than you and me will pay, combined, during our lives.
shareName a billionaire people like.
