Reply to comment by swistak84 in Elon Musk posts on Weibo about how action matters more than words and gets an earful from disgruntled Chinese netizens by Saltedline
I was definitely one to defend the person over their message, but I'm pretty happy to have learned. As long as it's just words in the void of the internet; Better to learn and regret than to have been nasty about it without ever changing.

I had real problems separating Elon from that massage he gave me, too.

What do you think made you that type of person at the time and what made you learn?

Was just younger. Was not a muskrat but definitely felt like if I liked something he did (or more appropriately, something his PR team said he did) he must not be all bad. Learned by learning he and others were just awful.
Honestly the bigger issue for me was with Gates. Kinda hard to see past the foundation, environmentalism, etc. At the end of the day can't just separate Microsoft's shitty behavior from him.
If you don't learn to separate the person from their actions they really sneak up on ya. Patagonia guy is the recent example. Does SOME good, sure, but he's just setting his wealth in stone.
