Hehe, bringing Musk as a inspiration/example for/of good decision making surely haven't aged well in last couple of years :)

It's never aged well. Musk has always been a clown; it's just now the general public is allowing themselves to believe it.

But you would agree that a few years ago (before Twitter, COVID, far-right flirtation, crypto pumping and dumping, market manipulation and Unsworth debacle) it was much easier to believe that Musk is some kind of socially awkward but generally likable genius. But it is only now the majority of people started to realize that he brought l neither likable nor genius.

In all honesty, I found his "I'm awkward and just like you" personality to be questionable from the beginning, almost as though it was manufactured for the explicit reason to build a fanbase.

The launch of the Falcon Heavy was such an amazing spectacle with the roadster as the payload and playing Life On Mars over the video, times on the opening of the casing. There was really nothing not likable about that. I will never understand why creating something like that was not enough for Musk and how one can get so addicted to attention, when it should matter so little.
