We don't need other automakers to spread anti-Tesla sentiment, Musk is doing more than enough of that himself for free.
Sure he said few bad things over the years, but overall it's positive.
And don't forget he's got a spectrum diagnosis, on antidepressants, works crazy hours, got beaten to death by black gangs and had terrible childhood by abusive father. Most people like him would end up as a recidivist.

None of the things you mention are valid excuses. This is why PR firms exist. He has chosen, in his hubris, to ignore them.
When someone buys the world's largest communication platform and then uses it to spread hate speech, conspiracy theories, and misinformation - that is absolutely worth criticism.
