So took a low end job - internship. Learned about banking and money. Then built a payment system that was better than the available alternatives of the time. Then he took the money he earned from building better mousetrap and bought / founded two other companies that are killing it by making things better than anyone before them. And now starlink.

He's doing exactly what he says, and the world is rewarding him for making better stuff every day.

His words and actions are in complete agreement.

Mostly I think it's just he started dating Grimes and doing a bunch of drugs

There’s a post by Paul Graham about haters. It says that haters are just the type of a fan in reverse.

It doesn’t mean that being a fan is any better than being a hater.

Fans are the ones who become an army of lobbyists for someone who is flawed and will never change thanks to this army of yes-(wo)men.

Hrm, it does seem like all of his trouble has happened on Twitter and during this relationship.

Don't forget that he's curing autism, blindness and paralysis, and will eliminate the need for humans to talk within 5-10 years with Neuralink!
