I would say that a lot of people (myself included) fall into this boat. We were fooled a decade+ ago, but the truth is clear now

I didnt fan over him, but I definitely respected some of "his" earlier ventures, especially SpaceX. Now I just laugh when I hear his name

I have the same sentiment, it wasn't necessarily the man I was a fan of, but I was happy to see someone using their wealth to build companies that can push humanity forward. Tesla turned out to be a dud in my opinion and SpaceX prospers seemingly despite Musk.

Yeah I certified used to admire the progress his companies made, and admired him by relation. Wasn't a fanboy though. Sad to see what the real picture was.

He could also have changed in the meantime.

Based on what I've read about his time at PayPal, he's always been like this. Probably worse now, but never who I thought he was.
