If I asked 10 people around me, who is Edward Snowden, maybe one would know. When the story broke, I never heard anyone in real life bring it up.

I know young wealthy people who don’t know who Elon Musk is. People’s attention is highly fragmented.

It's not about the guy's name, what's important is how people's perceptions have changed (which I would generalise as from scornful dismissal to resigned acceptance)
