I think it's more schadenfreude. Here's a guy who has all the money in the world, but when push comes to shove, he struggles to obtain things that are easy for most of us, like respect, credibility, and competence.

Fortunately for Elon, these values are acquired and held just fine among very large communities of people who are following along. His actions have been a breath of fresh air for a significant part of the world population.

It just happens that this population is condemned and humiliated by well funded corporate media conglomerates, left-leaning governments and political parties, and the majority of celebrities, many of who have bravely claimed they have been coerced into supporting this ugly mess under the threat of losing amazing career opportunities.

I imagine Musk would be in the same position if he wasn't so well off.
