    I think it all started to unravel when he wanted to gain prestige from making a submarine to save some kids that needed to go through some flooded caves but then one of the divers embarrassed him by rejecting the idea without the kid gloves on (it was a naïve idea, the sub wouldn’t have been able to get to the kids and the divers got them out without it).

    Elon then accused the guy of pedophilia because he was already on Thailand when it happened and, according to Elon, pedophilia is the only reason a man would want to travel there.

    That moment was enough for me to realize the image he had created for himself as a real life Tony Stark was false, he was a billionaire who wasn’t even smart enough to stfu and bitch about something behind closed doors, plus he chose a really bad idea to throw this tantrum over.

        Yeah, wasn’t his whole “try weed for the first time on Rogan’s show” just a little while before that? He didn’t inhale properly, which I don’t think he would have done if it was an act (doubt his ego would have allowed him to appear to be a newbie if he had really been doing it the whole time). I bet he had a ton of celebrities offering all the fun stuff after that.
