I do remember. In fact, I thought he was awesome until relatively recently. "Real-life Iron Man," and all that bs. But now that many more people know the truth about him, he has only those two attributes left going for him, and his fan demographic is, well, much less diverse, to say the least.
He's not an inventor. He didn't make his fortune as he was born into money. He's an attention whore and potentially dangerous depending on how far he's going to carry his following. I used to think it was funny that he was posting dumb memes and stuff to troll people, but now I'm thinking he'll just do whatever keeps his name in people's mouths. Typical spoiled rich kid behavior. He seems to be the kind of guy whose ego will continue to feed itself and grow as people hang on to his every word; he's basically tricking himself into thinking his opinions are increasingly important. Bit of a self-perpetuating cycle.
Is that a thing though? Him turning against the Democrats? I didn't even know he ever said he was a Democrat. If so, is that why you feel obligated to love him?

All you need to get a rabid internet following is to be born into money and to "own the libs."
There's quite an overlap in the Trump fans/Musk fans venn diagram.
Edit: I accidentally a word.
