Doesn't really matter if people like him if everyone keeps using his company's products, which only continues to increase his wealth and power...

But that’s the funny thing about him and baby elon, they want to be liked by people it seems.

Does he need to be liked? Absolutely not. He likes to be liked. He enjoys being liked. He has to be liked. But it’s not like a compulsive need, like his need to be praised.

Idk why he doesn't follow Tom's lead and make himself everyone's friend. Seems like an open net tbh.

Tom also sold his company at the peak and instead of taking the movie villain route and aiming for world domination, he retired and is now traveling the world living his best life.
