Sad to see how deep Musk has fallen. He‘s becoming more and more like Trump and hopefully sooner rather than later he’ll be completely irrelevant

He hasnt fallen. He's always been an arrogant asshole of average intelligence at best.

Reddit/Twitter were just ignorant of it because "cool electric car space man!" He just kept the crazy mostly under wraps. But the arrogant and stupid was always on display if you bothered to look.

All he had to do after introducing the Tesla 3 was hold onto the ball and run out the clock and most people wouldn't have realized what an odious sack of crap he is. But he's been an odious sack of crap all along

I initially thought he was cool because of Tesla but I think when he called that cave rescue guy a pedo I lost any respect and I soon realised what an awful person he is.

How anyone could defend him these days is totally beyond me.

For the future, it's quite easy to spot terrible people. Are they rich beyond your wildest dreams? Then they are, because noone can amass that much wealth without exploiting people.

Surely the attention that buying Twitter got him and the power over that small kingdom hasn’t made him a better person.

Maybe everyone that's left on reddit.

This shows thr talent of people who made Tesla and Space-X such celebrated businesses despite Musk.

[–] Lenins2ndCat 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Unfortunately he hasn't fallen at all, in fact he's made fuckloads of money. You can only fall upwards if you're that rich. He has added $530million dollars to his wealth per day this year.

The system is not a meritocracy.

EDIT: Not really sure why this is being downvoted, this is not a defence of Musk but a condemnation of the system.
