Yeah, I was one of those. I actually thought he was a cool dude. Especially his "I'll do something I thought of this morning, no idea if it works maybe it'll cost me billions lol" attitude is something I almost admired. I was also kinda happy when he bought twitter because I really thought the platform would improve.

But yeah, I then noticed the platform would not improve and when he went into politics, I lost every ounce of respect I had for the dude. Now I'd like to see him running headfirst into a chainsaw.

You were a late adopter. I think by the time he bought Twitter his political views and craziness were already known. For most people it was around the rescue diver pedophile tweet that most people realized. (As another reply also mentioned.)

I never even heard of that ever happening lmao. I was just reading about him every now and then, not keeping a log about everything he did.

I was with you up to this point. You must have been extremely naive or completely uninformed.

[–] realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

More uninformed. I wasn't keeping tabs in everything he did, and european media didn't report that much about him.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe just young, because the coverage up to that point was hard to avoid.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Only in US media circles.

[–] realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

Nah, that wasn't really the case. Again, I wasn't a musk-groupie lmao, I just heard things about him every now and then and thought they were pretty cool. Many of the things that he did or said I never even heard about until a few months ago.
