Before his Twitter addiction it was much easier to think of him as a rich genius like you see in comic books, mostly since nobody knew what he was thinking. He’s also managed a celebrity-like persona that someone like robot Mark Zuckerberg could never pull off. That and money will always get hangers on.
It’s the weird magic of leftist reality: Elon Musk of all people has a cult of personality. The man is the most boring person I’ve ever heard speak, ever, and yet somehow he’s just coasting on this “cult of personality”.
Either he’s breaking all the molds, or there was no mold to begin with.
Musk isn’t left though? He is very far right. He gained popularity by keeping quiet (at first) and doing stuff like promising not to sue companies that use their patents, and developing a ton of EV infrastructure. Turns out he couldn’t keep his mouth shut and is also just a rich asshole. But a lot of people bought in early and made loving Elon a personality trait. So here we are
It’s amazing that someone with such a garbage personality has a cult of personality.

It is not uncommon
It’s the confidence with which he sprouts his nonsense. People flock to confident personalities, because they must know a lot of things (presumably).
