Journalists are pointing out some newsworthy facts that may not make him look good. There’s a difference

Maybe half of what I’ve seen fits that description

possible you’re seeing some journalists defending outlets / colleagues/ friends that are being smeared by him in rather ugly ways. this shouldn’t be hard to understand.

Yeah, go figure. People don’t like someone who overly criticizes them for doing their jobs.
-
Seems like that’s a two way street
-
That’s debatable. Remember, this all started with a report from
@reveal that Elon Musk didn’t like. His criticism is rooted in his self-interest.http://bit.ly/2IUGccA -
Look at the journalist response, though. They took 99% of his tweets out of context to frame him as being anti-semetic, and whatever else they thought they could get away with.
-
I’d like to see the data that backs your 99 percent figure, because I know that isn’t over-exaggeration (which is something Elon Musk is prone to)
-
It’s not hard to see how people would take Elon’s tweet about the people who “own” the press as anti-semitic, but that definitely is taking his words out of context (or choosing to look at them a certain way for sake of virality)
-
It's hard to say you can look at it in any other way when the previous tweet was a rant about how billionaires all hate the press. Definitely taken strongly out of context.
-
And then there’s this, which is just a terrible idea that has attracted a LOT of scorn and criticism that has *nothing* to do anti-semitism.https://twitter.com/BenjaminNorton/status/999789416402096128 …

I think they just don't like the fact nobody *owns* elon

His investors do.

-
From their latest FCC filing - "Mr. Musk's trust currently owns 54% of the outstanding stock of SpaceX and has voting control of 78% of the outstanding stock of SpaceX"

It's kind of nuts how they responded. For a crowd that I thought was more self aware, they just fell in line like lemmings.

I started warming up to him as I start pulling away from the industry, which is interesting
