It’s on trend to hate on Elon Musk. This bugs me slightly, because I was doing it before it was cool. The thing any new-jack Elon hater should read is the 2015 (authorized!) biography by Ashlee Vance, entitled Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, which your local library almost certainly has. (There’s even an abridged YA edition.) Basically all the worst things you can imagine about Musk were already firmly documented by 2015. Repeated there is the suggestion that he abused his first wife and more or less purchased his second one. Occasionally, Vance allows Musk to interject things, particularly about who deserves credit for which rocket nozzle, but apparently Musk had “no notes” about these salacious personal life details.
