Hating anything redditors circlejerk over stays winning as a litmus test. (Half joking)

Idk if I had any real insight or if I was just annoyed by everyone talking him up. But at least my long standing haterism is being vindicated, at last.

I knew he was bad since the hyperloop bullshit happened and fucked up transport all across the country, as morons started waiting for something that was never going to exist. But I'll be honest. I didn't think he was this evil. My bad I guess

Yeah I mean I just found him irritating. I didn't think he was like... You know. Like this.

Yeah, I thought Musk was one of the cool billionaires who did fun things. I wasn't cognizant enough to understand how harmful the hyperloop thing was.

Simpsons Episodes are happening to our country, oh my god

I already knew about him for years before that and thought he sucked 😏

Shortly before that, I was working in autonomous vehicle research. His "Tesla's are now fully self driving" complete lie was so disastrous for the field.

It made it hard to sell "AV is a solvable problem but we still need to research it, and research what we can do in a post-AV world". His cars didn't even use LIDAR!
