If evil people hate you, you might be doing something right. Elon Musk puts it bluntly:
Approval isn’t always a sign you’re right.
Sometimes, it’s the opposite.
That statement isn’t about ego.
It’s about moral signal.
History shows a pattern:
People who challenge corruption, lies, or broken systems are rarely applauded by those benefiting from them.
Being disliked doesn’t automatically mean you’re right.
But being hated by people with bad incentives is often a clue that you’ve touched something real.
Doing the right thing isn’t supposed to be comfortable.
It’s supposed to be revealing.
When you face strong opposition, how do you decide whether it’s a warning — or confirmation you’re on the right path?
