American oligarch Elon Musk is a liar and has lied his whole life. His family supports apartheid, and his inheritance is blood diamond money.
He claims to be a genius. He isn't. His Hyperloop is impossible and he's admitted he only pushed for it to slow the growing rail industry in CA so he could sell more of his cars. He recently closed the loop on Neurolink despite boasting about it following least that it killed thousands of animals in trials. The technology in his cars is failing.
Elon Musk’s Neuralink, a medical device company, is under federal investigation for potential animal-welfare violations amid internal staff complaints that its animal testing is being rushed, causing needless suffering and deaths.

He lies about his credentials and education. None of them are true. What he's done at Twitter proves that he has no idea what he's doing about anything- his finances, running a company, anything
He is a bigot, grifter, and an egotistical self-centered, selfish douche. Just a few days ago he tweeted "my pronouns are persecute/fauci".
American oligarch Elon Musk deserves truckloads of hate. He is the worst.
Two things
*This first one is just a general comment, unrelated to Musk or any other specific topic*
1) I have no idea if any of that information is true. The problem is I can't blindly trust any of it and nobody else should either, even though it might be 100% accurate.
Why? Because the more I use the internet, the more
absolutely 1000% convinced I am that you can't fully trust a single damn thing you read on here. That doesn't mean everything's wrong and everyone is lying, but
so much is wrong and
so often people do talk out of their asses that there's no way to just blindly trust any polarizing topic and be confident that it's true.
Especially from sources like Twitter/Reddit/Imgur/etc and
double especially when it's someone a large group of people dislike.
Use our little corner of the internet as an example. Think of how often we see articles/tweets from the media or comments from random fans about the Flyers (or hockey in general) that we recognize immediately as complete nonsense. Imagine how wildly misinformed someone would be if they came in blind and just assumed that the things they read were true, since it was written by the professional media, after all, and they cited "proof" or "experts" to back up what they were saying.
The more you learn about this team or this sport or literally any other specific thing, the more you realize how little most others know, how biased the media is, how gullible the average person is, and how happy they are to repeat the things they hear, without thinking about it or verifying anything themselves. And I've found that to be true about every single topic I'd consider myself "relatively knowledgeable" about; whether that's hockey, gaming stuff, or other topics/hobbies that I've spent significant time looking into. The amount of easily disprovable bullshit I've seen, stated as fact and upvoted/liked by hundreds, is mind-boggling.
The only way I'd be able to confidently tell if that Musk stuff was actually true or not would be if I spent time researching topics and sources, which I sure as shit won't do and I'm sure 99% of the people who love/hate him haven't either. Same as how I know Carchidi is full of shit when he praises or shits on certain players because I've spent enough time looking into those players and Carchidi's track record to know he can't be trusted.
2) Let's assume it
is true and everything cited in the links in your post is 100% correct, I still stand by my original statement in my previous post. If all that was true I'd of course think poorly of him but I still wouldn't understand the magnitude of hatred that I keep seeing online.
When I mention people who "hate his guts" I'm
not talking about people who would answer "What do you think of Musk?" with "I think he's a bad guy. I don't like him at all.". I'm talking about the people who spend significant amounts of time every single day thinking about him, ranting about him across the internet, responding to all of his tweets, responding to tweets that merely reference him, and stuff like that. People are obsessed and while he very well might be a shit person who does shit things, there's so many people out there who have done so much worse that it's bizarre to me that people pick him, of all people, to hyperfocus on. Just like the opposite is true, where even if he's a good guy who does good things, there's so many people out there who have done more/better things that it's bizarre for people to praise him like they do.
That's why I can't imagine having a strong opinion on him either way. Outside of his notable net worth, his actual impact seems to unremarkable in the big picture, relative to the
real heros and
real villains out there, who don't receive even a fraction of the attention and effort.
And again, just so there's no confusion from anyone, I'll repeat my original point:
I don't give a shit about Musk.
I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about him.
I just don't get why so many people are obsessed with him to the insane extent that I've seen lately.
*I finished typing this and realized I wrote way more than I actually meant to and it looks like I actually give the tiniest shit about him or what people think about him, when I truly couldn't care less. 
I was just waiting for an important phone call FOR OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSED TO OCCUR and I was unable to go do anything else in the mean time, so I was bored out of my mind and just rambling*
