I feel like I'm often accused of being that person but it's not just with him, it's usually with any divisive person. I greatly dislike the habit of people try and dismiss everything a person has done because they have done one or several things that they are against so I'm often seen "defending" controversial figures.
I don't have any particular love for Musk nor would I want to work for any of his companies but it's incredibly frustrating to me to see people pretend like taking EVs mainstream and re-usable rockets aren't an incredible feats that he's played a large part in accomplishing (even if it's just by funding, for the people who say "he didn't do any of that work!"). And he's objectively a good businessman, given that the metric for business is money.
Some communities are incapable of espousing anything positive about people that they've deemed the enemy.
