Was he lying back then and is truthful now, or did the pandemic just break him?

I think he desperately wants to be liked. He used to say liberal things, because that’s more popular. Now he’s got enough money that a bunch of people will like him no matter what (or pretend to), so he can say what he really thinks while being insulated from the repercussions.

Six years ago, conservatives would vandalize Teslas in parking lots. Then, when Elon became an open bigot, conservatives started buying Teslas and worshipping Elon. I wonder why that is.

Guys, I’m starting to think conservatives might be bigots.

That’s called voting with your wallet, which is different from cancel culture, because woke.

Bingo. Elon has a pathological need to be fawned over and will say whatever he needs to to make that happen.

Initially, he found that warm mouth in the left wing for championing products to address climate change, but he was still being held accountable for his failures and obnoxiousness.

When Trump showed him that reactionaries will love you just being a narcissistic asshole and they could be bought for a pittance, he jumped ship. If a bigger, more easily swayed group of people became available to him, he’d rewrite his personality to pander to them instead.
