    He probably just didn’t know about how shit of a person he was. In 2020 everyone loved musk, me included, mostly just because most people didn’t dig deep into what type of person he was. I want to give Mr beast the benefit of the doubt here because I don’t think he’s an innately bad person like Elon is.

      In 2020 I had nothing but contempt for Musk, and I had a long list of reasons for it at the time. I’m sorry you were late to the party, but he showed his true colors long before 2020.

      To note, 2020 was a couple years after Musk called the cave diver that saved kids a pedo.

      That was the moment that all rational people figured out he was a complete asshat. Mr. Beast didn’t.

      Just quoting myself here for good measure. *shrugs

          Yeah and I’m of the opinion that it was pretty widely covered at the time, and a lot of people figured it out, so I don’t buy that “most” didn’t know it.

            That was the time he was the most popular. Everyone’s was in love with him and though he was the real life tony stark at that point. I hadn’t even heard of the fact he called the rescuer a pedo until s couple months ago (way after I realised he was a dick). To be fair, this is all anecdotal, but many people didn’t know and I want to give Mr beast the benefit of the doubt. Not to add this was three years ago before all of the other bad stuff he said.
