He chose to embark upon a ketamine-fueled, delusional disassembly of government infrastructure that will take decades to replace.
The libertarian fantasy of rampant waste is willfully ignorant at least, intellectually dishonest. Bullying those who only wish to serve the public interred is stupid.
(I cast this in terms of stupid-smart dichotomy because libertarians like short words. Yeah, I'm angry.)
Inside the Explosive Meeting Where Trump Officials Clashed With Elon Musk
Simmering anger at the billionaire’s unchecked power spilled out in a remarkable Cabinet Room meeting. The president quickly moved to rein in Mr. Musk.
People started hating on him when he was an asshat about that one cave rescue incident. Which was somewhat entertaining to watch people instantly change opinions on what technical skills or expertise he did or didn't have based on having to acknowledge that his personality was less than ideal.

I don't see any hate in it. He opted into a space where consent of the governed matters, and he's been acting like it doesn't. He has essentially asked us: "Will you let this be profitable for me?" This is just some people answering "No". It was different before he posed the question, before he started trying to act like a king.
If this is a genuine belief you have, I think you need to break out of your echo chambers a lot more.
I've got a theory that part of the issue is South Africa never really had much much problem with nazis - they were pro nazi in WW2 but never got involved in the fighting. Whereas in Europe the nazi thing was a bit of a disaster for all involved and the US fought against them. The Russians were a bit complicated in that they started pro nazi as partners and then fought them when they turned. And now accuse all their opponents of being nazi when they are the country that acts that way, which is confusing, probably deliberately so.
He's doing no such thing.
Wait until you see all the hate people get simply because they hang out in vans offering free candy to children. People are so hypocritical when they tell kids to stay away—yeah right, like your kids magically don’t like candy. It’s not fair.
