I remember on Reddit one awful “This is Musk. He didn’t like ___, so he invented ___” picture with like 4 examples of things he stole and a stick figure with his head. “Be like Musk” was the bottom text. I agreed with it at first, then I saw it like 6 more times.
Being annoyed at those constant repost made me leave his fan club pretty quick. Oh how naive I was, thinking the worst thing he could be was annoying.
2018 was when he called the diver a pedo? That was the moment for me. I thought he was an awkward nerd trying to make electric cars a thing against all odds, an underdog. That was the moment I looked more into him and saw how wrong I was.
His Elon Musk videos, and debunking other tech bro bullshit, absolutely, but I stopped watching him as the channel became too clickbaity/sensational for me to take seriously. I still agree with many of the opinions, but the format is not for me anymore.
Pretty much anything Elon Musk. I used to be an Elon Musk fangirl up until 2018, then each successive year was like the cutscene of Crash Bandicoot having all the boxes he’s missed falling on his head.
I enrolled in Aerospace Engineering in 2018 because of Musk.
Part of why I never graduated was the gradual loss of faith in the person who had inspired me. Although he has actually never changed.

With 2018 you are waaaaaaay ahead of the most other people.

You probably (already) love thunderf00t videos. If not, look him up.

Word for word, same. That shit was so fucking left-field, stupid, toxic, and offensive that it broke the camel’s back, hard
