He was doing something cool with Tesla and SpaceX

His PR agents probably did something cool with Tesla and SpaceX. He hired an agency after his PayPal payout and fired them around the time of the "calling an actually helpful scuba diver a pedo" Thai cave incident. This is who he's always been, it was simply previously filtered out by professionals.

If I had someone whose entire job was to prevent me from shitposting or being a complete dick, I would look pretty great all the time too. Everyone would.

He's just a racist egotistic techbro mining heir who wants people to think he's a genius übermensch, and to show him love like his parents seemingly didn't.
