I would be so embarassed if I ever was a fanboy of this fucking dunce

Imagine being capable of getting enough loans to buy a company for $44B and not being able to envision basic consequences for your buisness actions

I'll admit I was a minor fan of him. He seemed to have his ego pointed in a good direction. It was around the time those kids got stuck in a cave that I realised something was off.

I was never a hyper fan, but I'll admit I was completely taken in by his PR machine, for a time.

Yeah, before the cave incident I'm not sure I liked him per se but I figured he was better than most billionaires because he was willing to take risks in things that would help humanity. Then I realised he was just another rich asshole only this time with a saviour complex. He didn't care about those kids, he cared about whether he got to play the hero or not. It's been all downhill from there.
