Remember when he accused the British diver of pedophilia who wanted to help out those Thai kids being stuck in a diving cave? It was such a weird move. Well, how the turntables!
I really did t know much about him at that point, but tended to respect him because he was doing some interesting tech stuff. Then he went off the deep end about the cave rescue, without understanding ANYTHING about the situation, and I understood all at once who he really was. I haven't seen anything since that would make me alter my perception. In fact, the more I learned about him, the more I realized that I was perfectly correct in realizing that his ego is far larger than his intellect.
Thing is, he hasn't actually done any interesting tech stuff himself. He just buys out existing tech stuff then takes credit for it.
Man I wanted a Tesla roadster one day, then he touched the company and it turned to shit.
