Lots of powerful people are unpleasant, but Musk additionally got involved in politics in a very visible way at a very partisan, polarising time in American history. He didn't attract as much hate before 2024.

Maybe more people should listen to Musk's political message. The Biden Administration was playing nasty games, blocking progress on both SpaceX and AI generally.

That's beside the point... Fact is, there's a schism and no one crosses it. Elon picked a side I guess, so the other side hates him.

The Biden admin was TRYING to slow down AI. It did not work for them.

As for SpaceX I'm not sure what you mean seeing as how the government is easily its largest customer...
