I am loathe to admit I was a fan (though not really a boy about it) in the early days of Tesla and SpaceX. I don't even necessarily think I was wrong at the time, mind you — whether or not he deserved the credit for their achievements, his companies were pushing electric cars and rocketry in the right direction IMO — it's just sad to see that once the curtain was pulled back, there was nothing but a narcissistic and delusional huckster behind it all.
I would say that a lot of people (myself included) fall into this boat. We were fooled a decade+ ago, but the truth is clear now
He could also have changed in the meantime.
Based on what I've read about his time at PayPal, he's always been like this. Probably worse now, but never who I thought he was.
