Was he lying back then and is truthful now, or did the pandemic just break him?
According to his trans daughter, he was treating her like shit long before this, so he’s always been an asshole.
Yeah it looks like anyone close to him (including his business partners) says he was an asshole.
It looks like he had a great PR firm until then, which he stopped using, because he thought he can do better on his own.
Started to believe the bullshit himself basically… a spectacular fall from public grace.
More like he realized there were a lot more fascists running around than previously suspected and he could get away with it.
He’s definitely always been an asshole but he only went crazy a few years ago.
He used to care enough about money to not say these things publicly. Now he’s got so much money that it really doesn’t matter if it costs him a billion dollars to tweet something stupid.
Either that or all the ketamine over the long term fucked up his brain somehow.
He’s always been a troll. He says and does whatever he thinks it takes for people to pay attention to him. I doubt it goes any deeper than that.
if you think he’s the only rich dude to say whatever he needs to get what he wants, i’ve got a bridge to sell ya
what am i supposed to do with a bridge
edit: oh i think i get it now. very clever
It’s a reference to someone “selling” the Brooklyn bridge to someone else for scrap long ago. I think so anyway.
It’s a saying that he’ll sell you a bridge that he doesn’t own because you’re gullible.
This was a few weeks before the mask fell off with the pedo guy tweet.
In all honesty he probably doesn’t believe any of what he publicly says. Trump probably offered him less government scrutiny for his inherently dangerous projects (tesla self driving, SpaceX experimental rockets etc) as well as the billionaire tax breaks and he’s just trying to get him elected for his own personal profit. I’ve never seen a billionaire’s life be affected by a government decision, they all do as they please anyway (unless they’re in China or Russia)
