The brand with the bird and all was actually one of the more valuable parts of Twitter that he bought...

He's been hanging onto that x.com url for so long, he insists it's gonna get used

The best part is he had to buy the rights back from Paypal, he just did it back in 2017.

I don't quite understand the rage against this guy, imo he's one of the more likeable and interesting billionaires in the world. At least he has visions and wants to change the world for the better, something you cannot say about Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg etc.

He suggested that Ukraine should surrender to Russia and give up their Land. His own daughter hates him so much that she expressed in court that she doesn't even want to inherit his money or be related to him in any shape or way. He cancelled the Tesla order of a blogger after the blogger said he was disappointed that Elon musk made a bunch of people wait for multiple hours without communicating anything. He is known as a bad boss that overworks his workers and pays then poorly. He has shown himself to be transphobic, ableistic, racist, ageist, hypocritical and a liar

I like that guy. Very likeable.

He's a vocal transphobe and all around nasty piece of work, and he doesn't want to change the world for the better - he wants to use that narrative to line his wallet for the better.

Reasons:

He is a petty person; he called one of the divers saving Thai children a pedo, tried to get a lawyer fired for successfully suing him, is suing the firm which forced him to buy Twitter

He fights unionization while tesla has safety and racism issues, and just look at spaceX on glassdoor

His securities fraud, plus dogecoin pump and dump

He dislikes mass-transit and blocks actually helpful transit ideas with Boring & Hyperloop

And ofc his management of Twitter leaves much to be desired

He is an alt-right douche and it escapes me how him constantly being purposely antagonistic for fun lends to being "likeable". The abhorrent political views would be enough, but there's a lot more.
