Ten or so years ago I liked the guy. He did great things with tesla and spacex. Now every bit of information I get about him deminish my respect more than the previous. It seems like tesla and spacex has done great in spite of him, not because of him.

It’s more correct to say that Tesla and SpaceX did great things despite having Melon Husk around.

In the 2010s, friends and family always rolled their eyes when I told them he didn’t found Tesla, wasn’t a rocket engineer and got kicked out of Paypal. I was always just a Debby Downer who just didn’t want it to work or something. Now after Hyperloop Vaporware, dead monkeys from brain transplants, shut down Starlink for Ukraine and the Twitter aquisition, they finally joined my choir. I will admit it’s quite gratifying to hear some of them say “you were right all along” after years of being dismissed.

Of course nobody on the internet will admit they were wrong, though. They’ll either stick to him, claim they always doubted him or say he just changed. Whatever, it is what it is.
