I expect that motivates exactly zero percent of the criticism that Musk gets.

The thing that Steve Jobs was demoing actually released just 6 months later. I'd be very surprised if anything close to what was demoed here is released even 6 years later.

Yeah, and it showed up in 2007.

Maybe. Another possibility is a feeling of opposition to the idea that the world's richest person continue to accumulate wealth, while using said wealth to dishonestly manipulate elections, support openly fascist and bigoted political parties, and, most recently, tip the scales of international conflict (by limiting Starlink use by Ukraine).

You might love his products, but Elon Musk should not have more power. That's a statement not based in envy, but in a revulsion for what he spends that money on, and how it impacts innocent people.

Out of curiosity, I checked how Musk's wealth of $1.02T is allocated.

  75.7% SpaceX
  15.1% Tesla
  1.3% The Boring Company
  7.6% Other
His political donations for the 2025-26 cycle are apparently $366M.
