The people especially on platforms like Lemmy have a strong general bias against everything related to Elon Musk.

And what are their reasons for the bias? Is it because he's shown to be a chronic liar who over hypes his technology (Elon has promised filly self driving cars "next year" every year since 2014: https://futurism.com/video-elon-musk-promising-self-driving-cars), is bad at thinking through the long term consequences of his decisions (Twitter), refuses to listen to criticism, and shows no concern for the value or quality of human life?

This is like saying "People are only applying extra scrutiny to Johnny the Necrophiliac working at the morgue because they don't like him." They don't like for the exact reasons why there should be extra scrutiny on him for this. The dislike of him does not dismiss the valid concerns based on past behaviour.
