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.
