How I've always seen him
Yep, its been obvious to those who've been paying attention / not fanboy fellating Musk's cock every day... it's been obvious for a solid decade that he is a lying, petty, temperamental, narcissistic con artist.
Now he's just worse.
Yeah, always a dumbass.
What was your first impression of him that made you see him like that?
Buying his way into Paypal and acting like he invented the thing.
Not the person you replied to, but someone else that has always seen him as a dumbass.
I first became aware of him from a cameo in an Iron Man movie, which was aroun the time all of his ridiculously over the top and unrealistic goals was gaining media traction. His backstory was claiming the work of others, like his brief stint with PayPal. He was an obvious hype man, who believed his own hype. His fucking boast of putting humans on Mars in a short time frame was obviously overconfident bullshitting. Didn't he end up putting a car in orbit, or some dumb shit instead?
This was all proven accurate with the hyperloop as originally reported having massive obvious issues beyond the science, such as needing land rights. Then as it transitioned into a shitty car tunnel it was more entertaining as it went on. He acted like he founded Tesla and took credit for shit he didn't do while making sure to insert fart horns and other childish crap like trying to spell out sexy with the model numbers, but failing to get the 'E' so went with 3. Plus he insisted on keeping the auto driving camera only, like a dumbass.
He will always do some grand thing next year even though he has made the same promise for a decade. He was always a obvious snake oil salesman whose primary success was getting government welfare to prop up his businesses. His humor has always fallen flat. Naming his kids by itself was a huge sign of how much of a dumbass he is.
He used a Tesla roadster with a mannequin in the driver's seat as a dummy payload for the Falcon Heavy test flight in 2018.
And isn't the reason it's "falcon heavy" because he wanted it to sound like "fuckin heavy"?
The Hyperloop shit, it was never explained to me how a proprietary system that needed sealed tubes under constant reduced preassure could ever be cheaper or safer than normal rail.
Especially since I remember the last time this dumb concept showed it's face, Swiss Metro was the name then, and it fell on it's arse then just as the Hyperloop did now.
