Yea I saw that and thought about commenting but figured it would of been hitting my head on a brick wall. It's funny how people went from loving him to despising him all because they were told to because he brought Twitter
Uhh no I went to not liking him because it became more apparent he was a narcissistic man-child that didn't like being said no to and, despite that being somewhat good in pushing some companies he owns to make incredible products that could have been done by anyone with the right push and access to modern technology, he spent his time wanting people to love him for everything he said even when it was a garbage submarine idea and decided to punish people who didn't agree with him and focused on saving children's lives.
If you are wrapped around twitter as your only comment on him your attention span is too short. There is plenty of other reasons to hate the guy and still reason to respect his investments
People doesn't imply everyone bud, this was my anecdotal observation of Internet sentiments changing on Elon coincided with around the time of his Twitter purchase.
And I'm telling you the ball started rolling down that hill well before that and twitter just was an easy place to pick up more steam.
But there are plenty of people that started to hate on him just because he lied about delivery date on all his car models and the cyber truck. I saw one person swap when he had the intern come out in a spandex suit with a fake robot head on.
You are ascribing to much importance a social media site because it has a vocal community, you said they were told to hate on him and I'm informing you he made it easy to have an anti-audience, and anyone with an actual opinion on him likely cares about more than one dumb purchase
Right as someone who never cared about him as is a casual 30,000 ft observer it appears that it was the catalyst for distain for Elon to be main stream. Nothing about what I'm saying is disagreeing with you. Would you agree that the general consensus is that's when people, "woke up" to Elon?
I think it's when people who never heard of him or cared what he was doing became aware of his presence and it just expanded the size of the crowds that both love him and hate him.
I think it's less than it didn't reveal anything new about him but simply expanded the pool that couldn't avoid hearing about him. I think this is just the result of him attention seeking and it working. But I do agree that people who cared about Twitter and didn't care before likely started hating him. But God I hope it's for more than something petty like that.
You said initially that they were told to hate him for twitter and I disagree that anyone told people to hate him for that but simply people that had plenty of reason to had more people hearing his name than before and we could talk about his actual shittiness
Sorry I was implying that individuals such as yourself were finally being listened to and that the Twitter acquisition is was turned peoples ears on to it thus spreading the message.
