One of the funniest things Elon Musk did during the pandemic was briefly pretend to like Bitcoin before abruptly turning around and publicly trashing it and then dumping it all back on the market. Not only that he added an element of mockery first by pretending that the really superior cryptocurrency was actually Dogecoin. I’m surprised he’s still very popular with crypto people as he doesn’t seem to respect them at all.

it's not so much that most really like him. He's a billionaire, so he is only so likeable to most. He's had a lot of stupid projects, but he's also succeeded with others. I think it's more about him doing things to stir the pot which many of us find helpful at the macro level during a period where any form of "dissent" is viciously gaslit by the legacy industry and their captive media.
