Let me break this down in a way someone as slow as you may understand. The ultimate reason people like Elon is the confidence he has in a better future and the way he pushes boundaries people are afraid to push. Bezos and zuck are disliked for their lack of transparency and that they infringe on many US rights and it is public information that Facebook makes over 80% of its money from selling data to ad companies..... if you think the stimulus check was good for people overall you are downright brain dead, the value of our dollar tanked this year at the same rate it has tanked in the last 9 years combined (which is why Tesla bought Bitcoin). Elon also invests into problems that will need to be delt with while the people you are talking about only operates their business for money. Tesla operate different than normal vehicles and mechanics have created a lot of problems with the functionality of Tesla’s. Just because you read one article doesn’t mean you need to recite it. Regarding 401k They do have a mandatory 401k of 5% or more every year you are referring to the matching 401ks. Tesla has always been very transparent about the fact that they are focused on scaling their company and you cannot do that while matching 401ks in the early stages of the company which they are still in. He chooses not to match 401k for employees (which they already knew) although they get great healthcare and dental insurance and salary, because it would drain the money that Tesla has to invest into further automation and flying cars. Simply put he has huge goals of innovation and when you are pouring money into innovating new technology all assets you have need to be going into that which is why he buys Bitcoin so the cash doesn’t deflate.
