Musk is Tesla, and for that reason isn't money greedy. He made $165 million selling Paypal, so was already a fabulously wealthy man. He spent $90 million of that to start Space X, and later $70 million of his personal money to start Tesla.
Sure, the man wants his companies to succeed but that is an end in itself, not the money.
There's plenty to dislike about Musk, including his Trumpian proclivity to send thoughtless tweets. He also appears to be purposely misleading and deceptive, though it could be that he overestimates what he can deliver.
One thing is clear to me; and that it takes a person like Musk to have any chance of challenging the status quo; having launched the first major US automotive manufacturer since about 1920.
I'm not one to hate people that happen to expose their faults. I dislike bad ideas and bad behavior, but don't write off a person simply for being human. It would take a thoroughly malevolent person, who intends harm towards others, for me to begin to dislike someone.
