His main shtick and his "claim to fame" is his debunking/critique videos, which for the most part, incorporate some decent science/calculations/arguments to back them up. It was fine for "softer targets" like creationism, feminism, scammy crowdfunders etc. and had even led to him doing some decent science (columbic explosion) to satisfy his ego. Tf's 'BUSTED!'-type videos have served him quite well for all these years, but as they say, "if you only have a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail."
So while Elon is actively creating the future (by deviating from established methodologies), tf draws from the past: established science, technology, methodology, philosophies etc. Put another way, spacex with their 'radically' different approaches to space is 'paving the way to the future'. This is territory that tf's mind just can't set 'f00t' in, due in part to his (incompatible, even opposed) world view/philosophies. It may take quite a while for him to accept this flaw in his perception and this is, in my opinion, why he's always so butthurt and spergs out over elon's projects. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
