Elon Musk. Started as a likeable tech billionaire but eventually redeemed himself to the right wing fascists and extreme edge lords.

I just want to know what the actual fuck happened to him. I know a lot of people will say he was always a man-child and there's some things to back that up for sure. But I swear COVID does something to some people and they just turned into complete unredeemable asses.

He started to get weird around the time of the cave accident. Or rather that was the time the public really started to notice

It’s easy to be humble when the public showers you with praise. The real test of someone’s character is when you earn the public ire.

Do they grow and reflect, or dig in their heels and lash out? I think we learned how that worked out for Musk.
