The Kardashians didn't own and run an economically and strategically critical company.
There's a big difference between wanting Musk far away from SpaceX, and wanting a communist revolution, just like there's a difference between owning a make-up brand and the world's leading launch company.

Fair. Do you have a problem with Musk's progress in the problems that company is trying to solve? Is there any reason to believe that if someone else were in charge, that progress would improve?

Possibly, for some people. But the people who complain about Musk aren't the sort that are concerned with the economic or strategic importance of SpaceX. He's just someone they dislike, and they want him punished. Why does fate not intervene, they ask, and give him nut cancer? It gets old.
I'm complaining about Musk, and there is no part of my comment history that suggests the pattern of behavior you suggest. I'm not inclined to speak for anyone else though, so if you have a problem with how someone else handles this, I'd take it up with them.
My concern is that a clearly unstable degenerate is running strategically critical part of our economy. It really is that simple. The company is great, the man in charge is not, and unless he can clone himself he isn't spending much time running it. I don't think his removal or sidelining would be a loss to the company, and it would be a boon for national security.
Don't want Uncle Sam in your business? Don't take government contracts, especially not NatSec ones.

With him running six companies and half the Federal government, is there any reason to believe he is meaningfully in charge at SpaceX for day-to-day operations? If I had seven jobs my boss would be pretty peeved at my part-timed-ness.
