Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.

Number of neurons that fired in Musk’s brain indicating to himself that he might be widely unliked: 0

    I have a former best friend who still somehow finds a way to fanboy over Musk, despite the excessive information about him and actions he's taken. All very public and easy to find information, yet never swayed the guy's opinion and the last time we talked about it he was still fanboying. It really should have been a warning sign of things to come with that friendship. Truly, only mentally and emotionally inept losers are still on Musk's side and the former friend's the only person I know who still has a favorable opinion of Musk.

    Tough luck man. Have been in this situation a couple times.

    Current working theory is that the reason are our relationship templates formed in childhood.

    If someone has had abusive and/or gaslighting role models early on, they will not avert or even seek narcissistic relationships. I have been in this situation for a long time and am working for years to get rid of it.

    This is what I think happens with people liking clear cut narcissists like musk and having friends who „somehow“ like him.

    Sometimes people flock to a figure because they see them as a struggling underdog challenging the whole world.

    But even that angle kinda falls apart when you remember that this guy is the wealthiest person in the world. He's not a brave rebel. He's not even taking a stance on something important, though he very well could, with his money.
