I almost went with Obadiah Stane, but Justin Hammer really went down like a little bitch in the end so I had to go with him.
EDIT: To clarify, I never liked him, this is just an edit of a meme someone else posted.
CallMeMcGyver
How I've seen him since 2018...

Don't say "we." Not everyone was so gullible.

I thought space ex doing space stuff was cool, I thought pioneering electric cars was cool, at no time did I think Elon doing either of those things was cool, because Elon is a nazi and a leech stealing the good works of others.
morningxafter
Agreed
dirtmarker
How I always saw him. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1cmVjY3Bpa2RwZzlvcWhqNXk0b21qaWx3bG90dG1kOHhibGhvZzFxYyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/Lu94S7ZRGJ9mM/200w.webp

Same. Bootlicking billionaires is weird.

All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and keep funding intelligent people.

Rich assholes can't do that.

Vanko was right there
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
Vanko was a competent scientist and took constructive criticism. ("You told me double cycles more power. Good advice.")
andydicktracymorganfairchild
I know. I just wanted attention.

YOU saw him as Iron Man. Most of us saw him as a worse version of Eddison.
morningxafter
Nah, I personally never saw him in even that flattering a light. This is just an edit I made of someone else’s meme.
Sorrontis
ah,
sirava
Nah, worse version of Henry Ford. Cars got produced slower but still with all the racism.
Sorrontis
fair enough.

Elon has been Hammer since he called that diver, who was trying to save the those kids, a pedo.
morningxafter
A fair point.

Which is just two years prior in 2018.
peeopeepeee
Well just 2 years prior and I could have afforded a house. A lot changes in 2 years

His PR had him pretty well contained to the general public still by that point. Unless you were well versed in the tech bro scene which wasn't as widely reported on still yet then, you would have thought he was still a quirky brilliant billionaire.

I'm willing to grant many people who don't follow the news as broadly or deeply as me didn't follow the Thai cave rescue drama, Musk's vile words against Vernon Unsworth, or the laughable lawsuit verdict.
