He's being attacked for glory-hounding + poor-mouthing the successful rescue. His "help" was a virtue-signalling publicity stunt. Contra Ayn Rand, sometimes people hate you because you are a dick, not just b/c "great." Elon Musk is not Howard Roark, FFS.https://twitter.com/patrissimo/status/1017098712768602112 …

Virtue for the sake of signalling is not virtue, it's PR. This was no different from Al Sharpton showing up in Ferguson, except that people actually wanted Sharpton there (God help them).
Virtue for the sake of signaling (trying to genuinely help) is a helluva lot better than vice for the sake of signaling (attacking people, trying to get them fired, restricting speech) Not sure whether to be glad or sad that you are taking anti-virtue signaling too far...
