I almost went with Obadiah Stane, but Justin Hammer really went down like a little bitch in the end so I had to go with him.
EDIT: To clarify, I never liked him, this is just an edit of a meme someone else posted.
CallMeMcGyver
How I've seen him since 2018...
beelzebob23
Don't say "we." Not everyone was so gullible.
Jimthebutler
I thought space ex doing space stuff was cool, I thought pioneering electric cars was cool, at no time did I think Elon doing either of those things was cool, because Elon is a nazi and a leech stealing the good works of others.
morningxafter
Agreed
dirtmarker
How I always saw him. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1cmVjY3Bpa2RwZzlvcWhqNXk0b21qaWx3bG90dG1kOHhibGhvZzFxYyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/Lu94S7ZRGJ9mM/200w.webp

Same. Bootlicking billionaires is weird.

Vanko was right there
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
Vanko was a competent scientist and took constructive criticism. ("You told me double cycles more power. Good advice.")
andydicktracymorganfairchild
I know. I just wanted attention.

All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and keep funding intelligent people.
Lampmonster
Or if he really wanted fame he could have gone the philanthropist route. Guy could have changed the world for the better and been remembered as a hero. But nope, decided to be a nazi asshole who will be remembered as a guy whose cut the brake lines of the human race as we careened towards the duel cliffs of authoritarianism and global climate change.
Sebastopol140
Rich assholes can't do that.

YOU saw him as Iron Man. Most of us saw him as a worse version of Eddison.
morningxafter
Nah, I personally never saw him in even that flattering a light. This is just an edit I made of someone else’s meme.
Sorrontis
ah,
sirava
Nah, worse version of Henry Ford. Cars got produced slower but still with all the racism.
Sorrontis
fair enough.

Elon has been Hammer since he called that diver, who was trying to save the those kids, a pedo.
morningxafter
A fair point.

Which is just two years prior in 2018.
peeopeepeee
Well just 2 years prior and I could have afforded a house. A lot changes in 2 years

I'm willing to grant many people who don't follow the news as broadly or deeply as me didn't follow the Thai cave rescue drama, Musk's vile words against Vernon Unsworth, or the laughable lawsuit verdict.

His PR had him pretty well contained to the general public still by that point. Unless you were well versed in the tech bro scene which wasn't as widely reported on still yet then, you would have thought he was still a quirky brilliant billionaire.
