    He wasnt being 80% Elon. You were just unaware of how shitty he was back then because everyone was kissing the ground he walked on.

    He’s always been a massive PoS, he was just better at keeping on the downlow.

      The veneer cracked the day he got into it with the Thailand diver. He just assumed that since he was the smartest richest man in the world that he would naturally be tapped to solve the problem and save those kids. But he found out that no, there are actual professionals with actual experience that were needed for that job and it wasn’t a point where there was time to jerk him off and let him off easy. He had to be told to get fucked from the outset because he would just complicate things and his plan was stupid as shit. Turns out you can’t just money your way out of every problem.

      Once he started calling the diver a pedo and losing it everyone sat up and took notice that something wasn’t right. But I’d say it hasn’t been until all the twitter shit that everyone else caught on fully.

        There was also that fun bit where he promised to deliver 2000 ventilators during the height of the pandemic. You could almost hear the sigh of relief from the healthcare workers. He sent 1000 CPAP machines instead.

        Fucktard.

          I like to think that he searched amazon for “Breathy helpy machines.” and just ordered 1000 of the first result.

        He should have sticked to Tesla and SpaceX and be quiet. Dicking around like a spoiled child unmasked his real persona to the masses.

          You’re right in that he should have stuck with those companies but then that wouldn’t have been an very Elon thing to do.
