I really don't understand the hate for Musk. Shit, a lot of these projects are really experiments that he's funding. They're really cool experiments, at that, and experiments aren't supposed to be successful all the time, anyway.

It's like the people who bash NASA for having failures. This has never been done before!

While Musks companies do impressive things, there also is a lot of polarizing stuff that seems overdone: overconfident marketing for the "Autopilot", bashing the car industry as being incompetent while failing to get their own production up, Musk bubbling on Twitter about "direct democracy on Mars" while fighting organization among his own employees, ...

It's pushing the hype with often little basis, which is guaranteed to create dislike from people disagreeing. It's very different from bashing mistakes IMHO.
