I mean, it doesn't matter to him as much as his money does, but I think he absolutely wants to be liked. He has a massive ego. He's not Bannon, who seemingly could not care less if anyone likes him or not. But Musk could not tolerate that some liberals were starting to look at him with increased skepticism, so instead of doing the smart thing and riding that wave until it settled, he went in hard with the incel tech bro crowd. Which fit nicely into Trump's world, especially given Trump's main priority being to help billionaires get richer. So now here Musk is - seemingly stoned out of his mind a good amount of the time and more widely hated than he's ever been.
