Yes yes billionaire and all that, I mean going beyond his company and personal ethics. People talk about how he looks and acts in the moment as creepy or unsettling, feelings which other tech bros don’t seem to evoke. Why is that?

Bingo. He’s not the tall brown/blonde well-built masculine jaw type of ‘leader’ people expect, that looks like every other CEO. There is a distinct phenotype that the public expects from such people. Elon is far more ‘normal’ in this regard.
people pretend otherwise, but most folks are highly judgemental of physical appearances and slot you into ‘who you are’ based on your facial shape, hair color, skin pigment, etc. His lack of classic masculinity in body and face is a huge part of it too.
people have very clear expectations about what certain jobs/roles are supposed to look like, and get upset when people don’t ‘fit’ the expectations. a lot of ‘professional’ life is defined by ‘looking the part’ and Mark Z does not ‘look the part’ of a CEO, or even your typical programmer nerd these days. He looks like a stereotypical ‘ginger’, if he was an actor and played comedy roles as a ‘ginger’ people would love him for it.
Uh, people talk harshly of Elon as well. I don’t know too many people who would think of him as anything approaching normal.
