In the 2010s, friends and family always rolled their eyes when I told them he didn't found Tesla, wasn't a rocket engineer and got kicked out of Paypal. I was always just a Debby Downer who just didn't want it to work or something. Now after Hyperloop Vaporware, dead monkeys from brain transplants, shut down Starlink for Ukraine and the Twitter aquisition, they finally joined my choir. I will admit it's quite gratifying to hear some of them say "you were right all along" after years of being dismissed.

Of course nobody on the internet will admit they were wrong, though. They'll either stick to him, claim they always doubted him or say he just changed. Whatever, it is what it is.
