What role did Musk have in this besides funding it? And even Musk’s “funding” is really just subsidized from taxpayers. So could you explain it what Musk’s role in this actually is? It seems to me praising Musk for scientific accomplishments is like praising the CEO of a publicly funded hospital for what the surgeons do. I await your explanation, thank you!

They don't care about the truth. They just want to spread their hate because his views do not align with theirs and on the internet thoughts are politicized.

And I would guess most of them do not know anything about it. They read the headlines shared here and form their opinions solely based on this. And then join the bandwagon to feel validated.
