Bullshit.
The general public always had that information. Its why I've personally hated him since the fucking 90s. Since fucking paypal he was known as a cunt. Same with Peter Thiel.
People just put blinders on because they got big boners over electric cars and martian habitats. Cause thats the real issue here. Its not that people didnt know, Its that people willfully ignored, as they always do, because they wanted their neat shinies. Unfortunately for them, Musks miserable, worthless, cunt behavior continued to grow and get worse until they couldnt maintain their willful ignorance.. The same willful ignorance that they now try to hide behind to pretend they didnt know what he was, to justify giving him the money to become what he is.
If you didnt know what a piece of shit he was, its because you averted your eyes, because the information has always fucking been there, willfully ignored, but its fucking been there.
