Musk was already a notoriously lying grifter 10 year ago.
It's only naive fanboys who were too immature be able to set aside the natural human tendency to look up to famous people and/or did not had the life experience to recognize and be suspicious of salesman bollocks (whether decorated with techie terms or otherwise) when they heard it that didn't suspect the guy was something else than what the adoring fans thought.
It's not by chance that Musk's fanboys were mainly young adult and teen techies.
