Many seem adamant on publishing any idea that can damage Musk, no matter how flawed it is.

There is another contingent of "many," who feel personally protective of Musk and like he needs to be vigorously defended no matter what. It's usually people who have no personal connection to him or his companies but idealize him as representative of something more than any single person is or can possibly be. Musk has flaws too which isn't a groundbreaking or wild thing to say but it makes a lot of people's heads explode. Why is that?

I can't stand bullies. I'll be on the way everytime the illiterate mob tries to cancel a new victim.

Many seem adamant on protecting someone who does not need their protection and is deserving of most of the criticism he receives

I find that one of the biggest riddles since this Twitter thing; why do so many people feel they need to protect (well... they aren't doing much but should online, so better say ; take sides) with one of the richest men in the world who really doesn't need their help at all. He also will not ever reciprocate, in any way, shape or form. So why are so many people trying to defend everything he does?

I dislike mobs above anything. Piling up on someone with fallacies, rage, aggressivity. Big big yuck!

Are you making an argument or is this like a drive-by ad-hominem/questing-motives fallacy?
