I actually went back through my own comments to check, my first post mentioning Musk [0] was incredulity at someone claiming the shambolic launch of the Cybertruck might have been deliberately dreadful as some kind of marketing exercise. The Musk worshippers have always been here, but so have the people who can see that not only is the emperor not wearing any clothes, he's also a blithering idiot.

There have been an unending stream of Musk worshippers, or general billionaire-worshippers such as yourself, but there have been many people highlighting Musk's many, many, many, many failings for several years.

Are you surprised that the more he speaks, the more people shift from one side to the other? Over time, I would assume sentiment would be more and more and more negative, but the negativity has always been there alongside the adulation.
