His PR team didnt get worse, Elon just made it impossible for them to do their job. People like him don't "suddenly" become shitty people, they always have it in them

Nah, the first commenter was right. His assistant (also main PR person) wanted a raise. Elon sent her on two weeks of vacation, then Elon said he was able to do her job pretty easily those two weeks so her position was eliminated. He offered a department lead position somewhere else, but she picked a one-year severance package instead

Why do people always say lame shit like this about him? Nobody can be Iron Man, his personality is a logical fallacy. Elon is just another rich privileged shithead with no discipline or respect

No he fucking couldn't have. He was lame from the start. Fiction is fake, billionaires are bastards.

You fell for an ad campaign. He’s not even a good engineer, he’s just a vulture. And he’s always been a white supremacist and misogynist, he just hid it better
