It used to be different, at least in his effect. Musk managed to create a public persona that for some reason stood for success. That’s how he hyped up e.g. Tesla. It’s a double-edged sword though. Just as a good name can elevate projects, a bad name can tear them down and Musks hype has taken quite the damage in the public eye and his persona turned from a strong asset into a liability.
All Musk had to do was to keep his stupid mouth shut and keep playing the “I wanna improve humankind” benevolent billionaire. But no! He had to give his shitty opinion about that cave rescue in Thailand, then getting butt hurt about the expert not thinking his idea was brilliant and then call him a pedo.
And even that wasn’t enough to destroy all of his public image. Dude could’ve stopped there, some people would’ve disliked him, but as far as the general public is concerned, it didn’t happen or he had a singular brain fart. But he kept fucking up to the point where even the general public is aware what a hack he is. Twitter is of course the pinnacle of his ego.
