        Yeah but everyone else found it normal. Weren’t there even schools named after him? Maybe I’m misremembering.

        And yeah if did happen before he went full mask-off. But there was still accusations of weird behaviour towards women, still overworking employees, still massive union-busting efforts, etc.

          SpaceX probably will go down in history as an important step in space flight. Star Trek’s 23rd century apparently didn’t solve the problem of giving too much credit to historical monsters who were technically in charge of things.

          Think Edison or Christopher Columbus. They’ve gotten a lot of reeximination in recent decades for being assholes, but they were heroes in the popular imagination for a long time.

        People were cringing about it even when it came out. Elon may not have gone full mask off yet, but he was headed there.
