Nickelback was once one of the world's most popular bands. People loved them. You or someone you hold dear probably used to bump How You Remind Me on the regular. But something changed circa 2008 and all of a sudden the world decided that Nickelback was the worst band of all time. Nowadays, liking Nickelback is synonymous with having poor taste in music. 

As CEO of SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink, Musk has infinitely more to offer the world than Nickelback, but they're similar in this one way. He has a notorious cult-like following that will love him no matter what, but the tide has been turning in recent months. It's becoming cool to hate Elon Musk.
