      I enrolled in Aerospace Engineering in 2018 because of Musk.

      Part of why I never graduated was the gradual loss of faith in the person who had inspired me. Although he has actually never changed.

      I’m definitely one of those leoy but it took me until a couple years ago to start disliking him since I was a lot less active on social media and keeping up somewhat on news other than what I’m interested in. Definitely wanted one of his boring company flamethrowers when I heard about them but now I’d ironically wanna torch one of them.

      I remember on Reddit one awful “This is Musk. He didn’t like ___, so he invented ___” picture with like 4 examples of things he stole and a stick figure with his head. “Be like Musk” was the bottom text. I agreed with it at first, then I saw it like 6 more times.

      Being annoyed at those constant repost made me leave his fan club pretty quick. Oh how naive I was, thinking the worst thing he could be was annoying.
