we have moved to musk hating but i fail to see how all of it could be characterised as nonsensical; there are elements for sure

Correction, we went from fanatical Elon worship to a sudden realization, that he’s the greatest scam artist of all time (quite literally, nobody EVER burned more tax payer and inverter money) and went into sudden shock and disbelief.

I never liked Musk, even when he was “In.” Even the Mars colonization meme rubbed me the wrong way, as the science does not line up with that.

It felt like a cult of personality to me. He was always a fickle jerk, a mixed bag.

You have a point though, people’s opinions were largely political, I think. Or just based on pure hope/cultism

It’s like JK Rowling all over again.

There is a certain, disturbingly large, segment of the population which doesn’t even appear to attempt to think for themselves.
