Yeah, I was one of those. I actually thought he was a cool dude. Especially his "I'll do something I thought of this morning, no idea if it works maybe it'll cost me billions lol" attitude is something I almost admired. I was also kinda happy when he bought twitter because I really thought the platform would improve.
But yeah, I then noticed the platform would not improve and when he went into politics, I lost every ounce of respect I had for the dude. Now I'd like to see him running headfirst into a chainsaw.

You were a late adopter. I think by the time he bought Twitter his political views and craziness were already known. For most people it was around the rescue diver pedophile tweet that most people realized. (As another reply also mentioned.)

> I was also kinda happy when he bought twitter because I really thought the platform would improve. I was with you up to this point. You must have been extremely naive or completely uninformed.
