    I remember the whole cave rescue and calling the rescue guy a pedophile. I feel like that was the moment people realized he was insane and not some real life Tony Stark

      I think before then he had a good PR team. That was the moment when he thought ‘What am I paying these guys for, I could do this just fine myself.’

      Yup I feel the same way, like that was the moment he snapped or the crazy finally came out. Before I was a big fan, but it went downhill from there pretty fast. Though I’ve heard him on the Lex Friedman podcast like a year ago, and then he came across pretty sane - he just acts insane a lot of other times as well.

      This right here. This was the turning point for me.

      I used to view him as a slightly eccentric billionaire using his funds towards positive progress… Boy howdy was I wrong.

      That was the moment I realized he was either going to be Tony Stark or Lex Luther.

      And then he goes and proves me wrong by being worse than ever imaginable.
