    The cave diver comments were what did it for me.

    I mean, back then I was all about being against the popular thing, so I already was just tired of seeing his name in headlines. But after that I kinda went “oh so he really IS a piece of shit, that’s some middle school level insults.”

    It was all downhill from there. The more you learned about him, the more you realize he’s a garbage human who doesn’t deserve to breathe air, let alone be in charge of anything.

    Every comment on Twitter just screams" look at me, look at how cool I am please like me I’m so lonely awesome"

    Most people were just giving him passes left and right because he bought tesla and spacex and managed to convince people he was in charge from the start and lead r&d. Scratching the surface even slightly showed none of that was true, but a lot of people didn’t bother.

      There was a YouTube channel that was called muskwacth, then he made that comment and the channel disappeared overnight.

        I love both of the hosts. Wish they just switched to something else instead of canceling completely. Could’ve done regular science news.
