There were probably earlier signs if I paid more attention, but the Thai cave rescue mess was my first red flag that I can remember. It was also an example of how even as a crazed person he could have kept a public image intact if he had and/or listened to a PR advisor before opening his mouth. But that's not the nature of such types of people.

But Elon's been crazy before those other* two started Tesla.

Edit: swipe typing fucks me over again

Excellent gotcha, totally negates my point.
