His antics with Twitter has definitely changed the public perception of him, even on Hacker News. It's much, much more negative and the uncritical adulation of the wonder boy is almost non-existent these days. The cheering section is shrinking every day, and it's entirely his own doing.

I can't stand billionaires and would smile if Musk died in a fire, and I resent the government-fueled blackshirts that are forcing me to constantly defend him. Musk is this week's Hitler for the wealthy upper middle-class center-left and their stupid children.
