Sibling commenter has provided a list of links, but there are plenty of reasons to dislike Musk. I personally think he is not someone we should be putting on a pedestal for others to look up to. Just because someone has made money does not make them a good person. Al Capone and Pablo Escobar made a lot of money as intentionally extreme examples. He does however fit hand-and-glove with this administration for those very same reasons


> Do we hate him because of DOGE?

Musk wants Ukraine to submit to Russia: https://www.npr.org/2022/10/04/1126714896/elon-musk-ukraine-...

He wants Taiwan to submit to China: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/08/elon-musk...

He thinks America is full of complacency and entitlement whereas China rocks: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/31/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-china-ro...

He has pledged his commitment to China's core socialist values: https://www.mediaite.com/news/elon-musk-signs-letter-pledgin...

And so on and so on. There's lots to choose from.

China and Russia used to think they had to beat America.

Then they hoped America would beat itself.

I bet they never expected America to turn into an ally.
