Ya some people were pretty slow on the the uptake after he lost lawsuits and called a diver trying to save a child a pedo. I dont know why that wasn't a hard like for most people. Just took a few years and buying twitter.
I wonder if the same will happen to Sam Altman, who's arguably the next Musk. Right now he's practically revered in subs like r/Singularity and r/OpenAI. Wonder how long that will last.
It can work out very differently in some cases. Bill Gates was very hated in the beginning, but with all his philanthropic endeavours he achieved quite the turnaround. Kinda like the opposite of Musk.
And then there is Bezos who was hated in the beginning and is still being hated, both rightfully so.
He became a lot more noticeable bad after buying Twitter for those of us who don’t really follow what a billionaire does because before that all I really knew about the man was that weird name he tried to give his kid.
Musk also fired his entire PR team at some point IIRC. Right around 2020 I want to say? So before that a lot of his more blatantly awful stuff was probably being kept from the public eye.
I feel like that was the turning point for a lot of people. At least, it was for me
Prior to that he just seemed like a cool tech rich guy who was really vocal about advancing certain tech stuff
After that, people started thinking he wasn’t as altruistic as he sounded, and looked deeper. Then learned about stuff like the emerald mine and his push against public transport
After that he just seemed more like a hypocrite
The cave diving incident. Iirc a whole class of kids got stuck in a cave and it flooded in Thailand pre covid. Elon had his ideas and tried to design something for it but it just came down to standard Cave Divers going in and saving the day. Elon wasn’t happy about that, and popped off.
And there's a good chance his design would have failed anyway. He was just mad that he didn't get a chance to show off, as he'd bought into the "real life Tony Stark" hype too much.
I remember when people were calling him irl Tony Stark. I said, “No, he is most definitely not. Elon Musk is Obadiah Stane just as much as Jeff Bezos is Lex Luthor.”
I got banned from two Tesla subs because I commented in the cybercuck sub about a quote someone received. I’m a Tesla owner and my wife and I were both going to buy Tesla’s but we won’t buy new or not at all at this point. Dude is a psycho Nazi with skin as thin as 1-ply toilet paper.
Does this mean that we have to find another billionaire to be a good role model for us? Buffet died, Bezos is just a banker at this point, Zuckerberg is a lizard, and the rest I don’t know who they are
Other than tech advice, never take any advice in Reddit, especially not listen to general opinion.
For me Reddit is for memes and communicating with strangers with different life experiences to my own.
Not really. people on here , not all, tend to bandwagon with the flavor of the week club. I don't love the guy but he's doing some amazing stuff also amongst the bad.
Reddit is just another hive mind. Like all other platforms. Whatever is trendy at the time. Everything is filled with toddlers reaching for the next shiny thing.
And for no other reason than he got a little bit more famous, and is open about his politics. Interesting how volatile ignorant opinion political culture is.
He used to wear the public persona of geeky electric car and space dude.
He let his politocs show and everyone realized he's a hard right wing nutjob with way too much power due to how big his wallet is.
It’s ridiculous how people think that about him, when there’s actual evil politicians out there with huge bank ruining the country. He still is a dorky science dude. He’s just a political joker too, but that’s way too hard for the internet to accept it seems.
Not even just this site but in general the left used to praise him on the daily now hes an alt right neo nazi to them lol i get it but its also such a joke
That's bc Reddit is full of nothing but leftists and you'll get banned from any sub if you're not. It's Twitter before Musk let other people talk on it.
Yup he became more unhinged as time went on, but what was really the final straw for reddit was him being openly conservative. That instantly changed everyone's attitude here about the guy over night
Covid restrictions shut down Tesla lines, he was a coked up man baby who couldn’t handle it.
He then found anyone who aligned with his hatred of Covid restrictions, which happened to be stupid Nazi rednecks and other unsavory 4chan dick munches.
Everyone on twitter called him out on his bullshit and ignorance, so he offered to buy twitter, was forced to, then changed it into a site that amplifies the people who agree with his outrageous takes, which AGAIN is Nazi extremist rednecks. Hence the reason why you can say horrible things about everything, but the things he disagrees with. Which is why CIS is blocked on the site.
Guys a drugged up man baby who made good investment choices, but THE WORST management decisions
That’s what it means to be a fascist. Hearing ideas that you don’t agree with causes violence and anger.
So even the *thought* of someone else being able to express different ideas on a social media site angers a lot of Redditors
Well, it’s because he is a genuinely mixed bag. He’s done a lot of great things with SpaceX and with Tesla and I would argue he’s even done great things for Twitter at least more recently he has certainly been far more consistent on the free speech thing and it’s nice to have at least one platform like that.. and let’s not forget community notes.
but on the other hand, his political opinions are fucking horrible. Sometimes I’m wondering how the hell he accomplished anything ever. as at least when it comes to articulating his opinions he doesn’t seem that bright. He also usually comments or likes conspiratorial post that are often ironically and hilariously community noted shortly after showing exactly why the things he liked, or re tweeted were in fact wrong.
he peaked when he starred in meme review. all downhill from there

What about Jobs, he seems to be loved and hated at the same time

I'm sorry to save a WHAT!?!?

Yeah he designed a submarine to put the kids in that was too big to go through the cave so it was just fucking useless.
I remember when people were calling him irl Tony Stark. I said, “No, he is most definitely not. Elon Musk is Obadiah Stane just as much as Jeff Bezos is Lex Luthor.”
Even crazier that Tony actually met him in Iron Man 2
He is Justin Hammer at least.
But it's a good thing. Better this than to delusionally defend him after everything.
It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I used to like him Then I grew up
Mentally or physically?
Both
That’s because it’s normal and healthy to change your opinion based on new information.
Conversely, my opinion of the greatest environmental hypocrite in the history of environmental hypocrisy hasn’t changed and likely never will.
Name drop?
Never liked him in the first place

I think it started off when he was just a glorified crypto shiller back in 2021
Elon Musk is weird and a loser
He's a genius and is rich. Far from a loser.
He doesn’t invent the rockets or the cars. You know that, right?
Yeah you're definitely getting paid to say this
I wish
Then you have no reason to be saying this to me lmao
You are nothing but a false idol, a usurper. My eyes have been opened

Glad people are waking up to how crappy Elongated Musty is
Yeah being an idiot billionaire who only cares about looking cool will do that to ya
Does this mean that we have to find another billionaire to be a good role model for us? Buffet died, Bezos is just a banker at this point, Zuckerberg is a lizard, and the rest I don’t know who they are
Dolly Parton. If she's evil, then the world is truly lost
Buffet is not dead. Unless you're referring to Jimmy. Also fuck billionaires, they shouldn't be role models, they should not exist.
Tends to happen when someone becomes an outspoken alt-right conspiracy theorist.
Other than tech advice, never take any advice in Reddit, especially not listen to general opinion. For me Reddit is for memes and communicating with strangers with different life experiences to my own.
Being a hard core Nazi sympathizer ill do that to someone's image.
What’s the story on this one? I don’t think I’ve heard it
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231117-ibm-pulls-ads-from-elon-musk-s-x-over-pro-nazi-posts
He turned Twitter into a Nazi safe haven
There isn't. That's just Godwin's law.
Ah… seems that’s how it is more often than not, but I still ask since it could be an interesting story.
You sound like a bot. This is a weird question
The more you know the less likeable he becomes, who'd of thought
I think he should sell tanks now
Perfect for everyday transport!
Red and Yellow too just because.
Model T
T is reserved for the robots And i actually dont think this is too far fetched Considering how much of a nerd muskrat is
Looks like some Musk-e-teers are unhappy with your joke
Not really. people on here , not all, tend to bandwagon with the flavor of the week club. I don't love the guy but he's doing some amazing stuff also amongst the bad.
It’s amazing how as soon as he wasn’t left wing liberal reddit hive mind turned on him
Reddit is just another hive mind. Like all other platforms. Whatever is trendy at the time. Everything is filled with toddlers reaching for the next shiny thing.
Well Reddit as a whole tend to lean one way politically, so therefore they hate Elon Musk just cause
🔥🦂🦂Just cause mentioned🦂🦂🔥🔥🔥🔥
We liberating islands with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️🦂🦂🦂🦂🦂🦂
lol Reddit can’t acknowledge that they all just fall in line with “current opinion” or risk being downvoted (edit point proven lol)
And for no other reason than he got a little bit more famous, and is open about his politics. Interesting how volatile ignorant opinion political culture is.
He used to wear the public persona of geeky electric car and space dude. He let his politocs show and everyone realized he's a hard right wing nutjob with way too much power due to how big his wallet is.

Big tent politics only work if you conform to the ideology du jour. If you're not in fashion...you're out.
Breaking News: Popularity wins politics. More at 11 lol Democracy is literally based on who is more popular as voted on by the people.
That's extreme leftist propaganda at work. Reddit is flooded in that shit
The downvotes prove you right.
Not even just this site but in general the left used to praise him on the daily now hes an alt right neo nazi to them lol i get it but its also such a joke
Nope still love him
That's bc Reddit is full of nothing but leftists and you'll get banned from any sub if you're not. It's Twitter before Musk let other people talk on it.
All because he doesn't agree with the left lmao
Yup he became more unhinged as time went on, but what was really the final straw for reddit was him being openly conservative. That instantly changed everyone's attitude here about the guy over night
He used to be open-minded and liberal. Unfortunately, somewhere down the line, he stopped.
Covid restrictions shut down Tesla lines, he was a coked up man baby who couldn’t handle it. He then found anyone who aligned with his hatred of Covid restrictions, which happened to be stupid Nazi rednecks and other unsavory 4chan dick munches.

You see, what actually happened is that all of these people were literally brainwashed to hate him via social networking.
Well, it’s because he is a genuinely mixed bag. He’s done a lot of great things with SpaceX and with Tesla and I would argue he’s even done great things for Twitter at least more recently he has certainly been far more consistent on the free speech thing and it’s nice to have at least one platform like that.. and let’s not forget community notes. but on the other hand, his political opinions are fucking horrible.

All because the machine told you too. How pitiful.
Buying out Twitter and removing CP accounts will do that
He needs to be a genius and think exactly like us at the same time
What part of him is genius?
You are definitely smarter!
I never said that...
His iq. He is literally the definition of a geneus.
...sure
Running a multi billion dollar company while being able to avoid taxes
SCREW POOR PEOPLE! -Elongated muskrat, 2024
Being able to afford accountants and lawyers to do the actual thinking doesn’t make him a genius.
I think he was just making a joke about how he doesn't pay taxes

I still like him. The Twitter thing was a mistake! However, people didn't start hating him until he called out ESG scores.
He’s one of the richest men in the world he don’t care what people think but I sure wish he would go to Mars
