I don't involve myself much into politics, news, etc.. but I always found him to be a form of pioneer in many ways. I'm the extreme type to question authority and wrong doing, and even though I don't keep up with the news or what's happening.. with what I've seen in the past like 5 years or so, I've found Elon Musk to be pretty cool. He enjoys memes, he's trying to make mars habitable, etc.
Basically, what am I missing that it feels like most on reddit dislike him but I've still found him cool? I'm totally open minded.. I just don't understand where all the hate came from. Is it mostly because he's very rich and has a lot of power?
