His business practices are sometimes a bit shady but theres far worse people out there, but they don't have the same popularity or profile. So they aren't attacked. Musk however is.

If your defense of someone amounts to "people are just jealous!" - stop.
I am not defending him. He's a douche. However someone who gets stuff done. Important stuff nobody else does right now.
But the people who attack him are doing so because they are annoyed of his douchebaggery. Not for the moral high ground they claim to be.
