The sad truth is, nobody really likes Elon. He is just useful to a handful of powerful people.

His family doesn’t even like him.

A friend put it best:

musk is even more unlikable than ted cruz. He just has ridiculous amounts of money (the benefits of profiting off apartheid and effectively slave labor in daddy's emerald mines). When he finally pisses off trump enough to get the bog standard back stab, it is gonna be a literal one.

I mean, he definitely has a small army of libertarian dudebro sycophants.

Yeah, it sounds like his dad liked his step sister way more. Weird for Elon to be so jealous about it.
