He wasn’t unlikable, but did also benefit from the Reddit and online hive mindset. It was impossible to criticize him since he was “on a noble mission to expand science/tech, eco friendly transport and rockets”.
I was also one of the people that thought he was interesting. Once you look back you see that there were small clues like people talking about him getting kicked out of PayPal for what seems like incompetence and what not. His PR team really did a great job of keeping him clean for a while there.
The quick 360 on policies does show that he is like any other CEO or executive, someone that will lie in your face to sell you something and line his pockets.
Edit: on retrospective he is like many career politicians, just more unhinged since he has a lot of nepo money to fall back into.

He was even a guest on SNL which is normally reserved for progressive people. I guess he had most of us fooled.
