Yup! People (even seemingly intelligent folks here) want to hate on the guy. Yeah, he can be a jerk sometimes.. but if you are denying the tremendous positive impact he is making with Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Twitter, Boring, etc.. please take a moment to consider that you may be suffering from Elon Derangement Syndrome


Agreed on SpaceX and partly on Tesla. What is his “tremendous positive impact” with Twitter and Boring? Not trying to argue, just curious if there’s something I don’t see.


Twitter - free speech Boring - no big impact yet but there is a possibility it could Neuralink - incredible potential to have a big impact


I like Musk's reincarnation of twitter. I didn't care much for the "sanitized for my protection" earlier version. I wish I could buy some stock in X, though I understand keeping it private to keep the scourge of activist investors out of it.


But the tv said I should hate him!
