Pendulum swings of public Opinion When Elon Musk first came into the public spotlight, he had a anywhere from a neutral to a mildly negative public perception due to being perceived as a nerd, and not being a good public speaker (due to autism?) then he starts succeeding and the pendulum swings upwards, practically rocketing (heh!) upwards as nerds and geeks world over found thier messiah, the one who will fulfill all their sci/fi dreams from dusty paperbacks... but then the pendulum reaches its peak and there is a saturation in adoration, the dick sucking was frankly getting a bit much, and people start to differentiate them self by being anti-Elon. The Thailand thing proves to be the trigger that swings the pendulum downwards and up again towards the other side. But now I feel the sheer banal revulsion at the mere mention of his name means that the pendulum has peaked again, and it's about time people start bringing the discussion back to facts rather than emotions You can see this when people start spouting random unrelated bullshit everytime Elon's name is mentioned. Like we get it, he is wealthy since the share price has skyrocketed (heh again!) because of all the pension funds and mutual funds and 401k and rando retail buyers are want a piece of his pie, but seriously, STFU, we are trying to have a discussion of facts regarding whatever, spew your rando ?-naire bile elsewhere.
