&gt;I wonder why WSJ and some conservatives set a target on Elon.<p>Conservation as a general concept is about preservation, tradition, limiting change. I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s plenty of people who align with conservative values for other reasons (as I&#x27;m sure most don&#x27;t have a problem with Elon), but that doesn&#x27;t change the fact that a lot of people are opposed to change in general. They like the way things have been and the way things are. They have a good thing going. They don&#x27;t want to risk a future they might not like. They don&#x27;t want to have to learn a new future. They don&#x27;t want to have to worry or think about learning a new future.<p>Hell, I get it and I consciously chose to go in to web dev! I can find out about a new tool that will make my life easier and still have an initial reaction of &quot;damn it, not another one!&quot;.<p>Elon Musk is the symbol for a lot of change.
