In this case I think it's the moms in both cases insulating their sons from any and all self-reflection...
Nobody likes him. At best they tolerate him for his money, but nobody really likes Elon Musk. He could 10x, 100x, even 1000x his current obscene fortune and cut a 100k check for every American and still... No one would like him.
Most people have friends or family or a spouse or someone that will be ride-or-die for them when the chips are down in a non-transactional way. Elon not only doesn't have this, but he will never have this. No one likes Elon Musk. Not his BPD cumdumpsters, not his H1B slaves, not his zoomer boy harem, and most certainly not the country of his adoption.
And honestly I think it terrifies him.
