Musk has consistently proven himself to be a driving force behind the sustained success of every company under his leadership. Disparaging attitudes towards Elon seem to follow popular opinion rather than fact. While there’s plenty of justifiable criticism, the points frequently echoed here don’t contribute meaningfully to constructive discourse.
Edit: The prevalence of downvotes simply underscores my argument. How does this platform distinguish itself from Reddit, when it harbors a similar degree of negativity and concerted downvoting targeted at individuals participating in earnest conversation?
Honestly though who gives a shit about Musk though? Do you personally admire him? He’s a rich guy that is good at managing, if that’s something to admire then I understand your comment, otherwise it’s just ball riding
I don’t admire his tweets or latest shenanigans, but I do admire his work in engineering and AI. In those specific fields, he is quite the visionary, knowing how to position the right people in the right places with a clear future goal in mind. More often than not, his foresight proves accurate. Specific examples of the engineering decisions and designs manifested in SpaceX or Tesla include innovations such as the Octovalve, Gigacasting, FSD computer, the reusability of Falcon 9 with landings, Merlin and Raptor rocket engines, and the general software architecture in Tesla cars. The list goes on for technology enthusiasts like me.
You don’t have to appreciate everything about him — I certainly don’t — but as someone who loves technology, I can’t help but recognize how his vision has propelled America further into the future.
Part of me wishes he had delved into nuclear science to solve fusion instead of purchasing Twitter. Perhaps, though, he’s past his prime.

Salty Elon anti-simps are everywhere and will always downvote things. That isn’t really this platform’s fault.
Big differences between reddit and here are:
Those are all great reasons for using Lemmy instead. Oh, plus the relative privacy.
Pssst. People here don’t like white supremacist Nazi promoters.

I just find the amount of hate a bit ridiculous.
Okay that’s fair enough, do you actually admire him? That’s what I’m curious about

So basically more a fan of his work, makes sense
Thanks for taking the time to understand my side of the argument.
You’re mistaking deserved scorn and ridicule for hate, a common tactic amongst people trying to defend ridiculous people.
About that, have you seen twitter lately?
It seems like his best management decisions have been to not touch anything.
