If even one fanboy learns latin because of Musk trying to seem literate and edgy I'll take it as a win.

That's a very strange win to take considering the damage Trump did with his Twitter account and could do again if he gets back to it.

It has been very interesting watching people laughing at me for investing in "An Internet guy" trying to build cars in 2014. To now calling me a "Elon Fanboy" and saying that "the car guy doesn't understand internet companies". Yes, I'm a fan of the guy that helped me make millions of dollars, and who is forcing other car companies to electric. What do you expect my response to be? "I hate that all these gas cars are going away and I wish I had lost all my money"

    "as of late" During the Paypal days he slept in the office, expected everyone to work long hours, and got into arguments and was an asshole at times. This has been well known for over a decade. Why didn't the media run articles talking about how hard he was to work for during the past 10 years? Why just now? And, why is the NYT writing puff pieces about SBF? Do you ever think that maybe you are parroting what the media wants you to think?

      I’ve read about his work ethics for ages, which means the media did report on it. Do you maybe think you’re parroting what groups of sycophants say to each other to rationalize their idols?

        Given that my opinion hasn't changed much for 8 years, I suspect, I wasn't parroting the 'fanboy' rhetoric from 2022 back in 2015.

        2015 isn’t that long ago when it comes to Elon fandom though. 2015 is firmly in the period when he was amassing his fandom with the work at Tesla. The S was 2012 and the X was 2015. Both were huge things for his legacy that captured many minds, especially the X with its bold door design. So I’m not sure what your point could even be given that you sound like a long term Elon fan. Generally your talking points are straight out of every populist fan base.
