The hate he gets is mostly because he's bad at being a CEO. He is a classical robber baron from the turn of the 20th century. His products are poorly made, he churns out vaporware like nobody else, he doesn't seem bothered by lying, he ignores the laws that bind someone in his position, and no one holds him to account because if a journalist asks him a question he doesn't like he blacklists their organization.
His companies are badly run because he prioritizes his own ego over learning the domains he is working in. He risked worker safety because he doesn't like the color yellow. He doesn't care about the people who work for him: the California Sheriff's office had to lock his factory doors when covid was rampaging. He exploits nerd-joy to avoid having to provide safe, supportive, constructive environments that actually produce good software.
If more people were like him, the world would be a worse place for all the rest of us.
I don't believe any of that is "conservative". Aside from his drug use & exploitation of workers, I'm not sure what of it is "libertarian". And "progressive"?
