I also remember the hero worship in 2015-20ish, even when projects like Hyperloop and countless others were a well known scam. I worked in top tech and their product team worshipped him, they hated me after I tried expressing skepticism. These people probably think he's nuts in 2025, but also say "that wasn't a Nazi salute, stop overreacting".

He has always been a con artist, I don't know why people act like "Oh how did you know Musk was a bad guy in 2015? Impossible!"

Yep.

Even going all the way back to paypal, Musk has been a piece of shit. a very obvious, public piece of shit.

Fanboys are in a panic and trying to change history and their blind support of him thanks to the nazism coming out full bore in a way that cant be dismissed/handwaved/excused
