Me too, I was definetely duped by him. It’s embarassing now that I see how much of a man child he is.

And a shit father, considering his resources he may just be the worst father in history.

  Yeah, Musk is a shit dad but Jobs was deadbeat dad as a billionaire.

    True, Jobs is the worst father in history so far.

Don’t be too embarrassed y’all. I am in the same boat as you, but reasonable people adjust their views and beliefs as new evidence is presented, which is exactly what we have done

  I think the actual takeaway here is to not elevate people to the status of “genius” in the first place. Stop worshipping celebrities, they are only humans like the rest of us.

    While your argument is correct, it was none of us that raised Musk to a ‘genius’ idol. It was his own marketing campaign, probably done on his behalf by a professional PR team. When the rest of us heard the amount of praises going around, we just assumed that there was some substance to it. That’s until the ‘pedo guy’ incident started the collapse of that facade.

    Marketing relies on the gullibility of the consumer. If you start from the position of “this person is just another human like me and I am better at some things than them” then celebrities suddenly aren’t so magical and special anymore. It becomes a lot easier to see through the PR bullshit.
