    I remember, back in the days, when everybody was like Elon is gonna save the world, he’s doing so much good for humanity, blah blah, and I was like “this fuck is fraud” and everybody was like “boy why are you so jealous?” or “why are you so mean, he’s a genius” etc.

    Failed Wannabe Pedo was not on my bingo card back in the day, but oh boy, who’s laughing now?

      Same, I always knew Elon was a fraud. I always called him the 21st century’s Thomas Edison. They would steal the ideas of other people and stand on their shoulders and call themselves tall.

        I was indifferent, although I thought he was doing good on the electric car front at first. When he went full projection by calling a rescue diver a pedo I finally saw him for what he was

        Never defended him tho, but I can see why people did. He marketed himself well during the early Tesla days. I also didn’t realize at the time how evil a person has to be to acquire that much wealth.

        Congrats on being ahead of the curve, i guess
