Elon Musk is actually doing really great PR-wise. You just don't expect everyone to like you especially if you're a person with that huge of a following.
In what way are you measuring it? Because i can tell you why i said his pr could be better:
I've never encountered Hate against tesla or elon so much before this. He was doing just fine. He was even written jokes in SNL that made him look very symphatic.
In where i live, there were ton of public people in selling their Teslas in because of Elon's views and actions. Companies in twitter / pr accounts of cities were wondering if they would stay in twitter. So those were individual haters? How many individual haters you need to still have good PR?
Sure, Elon has fanbois, there's no question about that, at some point even i thought he might be just misunderstood before the whole pedo-tweet incident. That day i started to look more closely what kind of man is Elon. And those fanbois are not his advertisers that left the twitter, fanbois are not the ones dumping his stocks either.
So tell me how is his PR great? If you are talking about followers in twitter, then did Trump also have good pr?
And if he was, then what was he complaining in the first place?
End Elon has very much similar follower base to trump, people who love trolling and some mystical "sticking it to elite".
And this clown is richest man in the country that loves draconian work culture... This union is just plain weirdly masochistic.
Rest of people always want to see a dumpster fire, especially when that dumpster is worth $181.3 billion
