Was he lying back then and is truthful now, or did the pandemic just break him?

According to his trans daughter, he was treating her like shit long before this, so he’s always been an asshole.

His daughter was 14 at the time of this tweet. I don’t know when she came out to Musk, but it’s possible this tweet was before he started treating her like shit.

He’s definitely always been an asshole but he only went crazy a few years ago.

He used to care enough about money to not say these things publicly. Now he’s got so much money that it really doesn’t matter if it costs him a billion dollars to tweet something stupid.

Either that or all the ketamine over the long term fucked up his brain somehow.

I think the drugs definitely are playing a part here. He used to be quite lucid.

Well, everything else is rumour and hearsay. I’ll stick with what is on the record for my judgement.

Yeah it looks like anyone close to him (including his business partners) says he was an asshole.

It looks like he had a great PR firm until then, which he stopped using, because he thought he can do better on his own.

Started to believe the bullshit himself basically… a spectacular fall from public grace.

More like he realized there were a lot more fascists running around than previously suspected and he could get away with it.
