      But he had good PR regardless. The sentiment about him online around 2015 was very positive. The “real life Iron Man” meme was strong. He could have easily ridden that, doesn’t really matter it was undeserved.

        Even then he was being a piece of shit, people were just liking it. Nothing changed much, he kept on doing his shit

      He was always a piece of shit, yeah, but if he’d let his “work” do the talking he’d have been known as the guy who pushed electric cars into a more mainstream position, he’d be the figurehead behind reusable, more economical rockets.

      Instead he’s the guy who fucked up Twitter and makes swasticars.

      He just couldn’t shut the fuck up, and we all saw who he really is, and now the only people who don’t want him to fuck all the way off up his own ass are people who should themselves fuck all the way off up their own asses.
