tech optimism was at an all time high in the early-to-mid 10s and Elon was the epic rocket ship guy making electric cars. people watched Iron Man in 2008 and genuinely believed that CEOs were super geniuses inventing shit in their garages. the Obama era was one of incredibly naive liberalism. before 2015, practically nobody was engaged in political discourse outside of chuds calling Obama a gay muslim
Years ago I used to. I wasn’t a leftist back then, but I really did think space x and Tesla was neat and Elon hadn’t started being an overt piece of shit. I think I’d turned on him before the pedo name calling incident but I’m not sure what the reason was
he was on Trump’s tech advisory board during his 1st term, I think that was the moment when some libs realized he might be a piece of shit, though plenty made excuses for him. a lot of us Bernard Brethren had already started to turn on him due to the general hatred of the billionaire class, and in lefty / radlib circles there had been some talk of his union busting, I think that’s what it was for me
I legitimately cannot begin to guess why so many people once liked this guy.
