    So? You subsidised him since forever.
    Not a peep when he demanded to keep his factories open in full Covid times or plenty more scummy things.
    Only when he became a Trumper he was no longer great papa Elon for half of you.

      What makes you think I wasn’t verbally critical of him? I was telling ppl that were praising him that he seemed to virtue signal and seemed shady back in 2017. I was told I was looking too much into it. But in retrospect…

        OK I was generalising.
        Nothing in your comment says you aren’t be one of those who simply don’t like him NOW.
        Statistically more chance of that since all I saw for years was cringe papa elon, big brain Tony Stark bootlicking while it was indeed clear for anyone to see what a douche he was (not visibly fascist tho).
        But Americans love their oligarch heroes.
        Most people still think Bill Gates is a great philanthropist, while he is also an awful person with a more acceptable personality and image.
