    Oh man I miss the time when I thought this man was actually gonna be like the next Tony Stark.

    If you read his reddit AmA he sounded like a pretty cool dude who wanted to advance science.

      Yeah he had quite a few people in the geek / tech world that liked him or at least were indifferent. Then he started losing his shit quickly followed by getting all MAGA political.

      He probably would have been happier had he not gone all Nazi, or if he always was that way, at least kept it to himself.

      Now he is sad everyone hates him lol.

        I think the first time people (like me) started realising how he truly was when he called one of those Thailand rescue divers a pedophile. He went fully mask off in barely any time after that.

        Because how quickly he switched I still wonder if he is someone like Kanye who needs to be on meds otherwise he just can’t help himself saying absolutely insane stuff.

          I think that may have been shortly after he and Grimes got together so likely she introduced him to more drugs than whatever he was already taking.

            Drugs don’t make people racist pieces of shit, but they sure can help make it clear that the person already is.

              He was probably already racist, but it really does seem like the drugs helped make him a Nazi.

              It’s probably a combination of the people feeding him drugs and him drifting towards manipulators instead of people who might tell him no.
