    You are apparently unaware of the literal tens of thousands of youtube/twitter/media people who basically did/do nothing other than promote Elon and everything he does.

    Elon Musk Can Multitask Better Than You.

    Elon’s new Hyperloop will revolutionize transit in America!

    Tesla’s stock price will be $42,690 per share in 5 years, here’s why.

    Its about a million times more obnoxious than people pointing out that Gabe actually knows what he’s talking about.

    You can go outside and strike up a conversation with any random person, and they will almost certainly know who Elon is, and most people will still think he is some kind of genius real life Tony Stark.

    You can go outside and strike up a random convo with any random person about Gabe, and chances are 98% of people will have no idea who you are talking about, unless you are at some kind of nerd/geek type outing like a video game convention, and even then, people under 20 - 25 are not likely to know who he is.

    EDIT: Yeah, I am actually fairly confident that for you to make a statement like that, you probably, unironically, need to touch grass.

    I fail to see any way you could have that opinion other than that basically all you do is argue on video game forums / discords / twitch / whatever, and that you just have almost 0 contact with real life human beings, or online spaces that do not revolve around video games.

      You perhaps need to talk to people if you think people now have a high opinion of Elon Musk. His reputation has crashed since he bought Twitter

      Now perhaps you’ll still hear space fans singing his praise, but the general position holds no respect for him
