It feels like Musk became a celebrity, then a social media celeb at that, and has fully committed to the bit. He is more online than man. He has the same mannerisms and methods as a second-rate vBulletin troll- or a hated mod- except he is also the most wealthy man on the planet, and the CEO of multiple multinationals. This degeneration is more amazing to watch than the rise of the last president, because everyone knew Trump was a limelight-seeking self-promoter since the ‘80s. Whereas Musk sold himself as the smart person’s (perhaps not so smart, eh?) idea of a smart person. I wonder what his once-admirers think of that gloss falling off the chassis.
