I had a coworker who seems to look up to him. He got offended when I told him I don't trust Musk; and took it to mean I don't like Musk. I clarified that when I said I don't trust him, I meant that I am skeptical and don't care much about him. Mind you, this was before the Twitter takeover and Musk finally showing his true colours, and his only bizarre scandal about him at that point was calling professional divers who rescued trapped Thai kids and refused Elon's offer of help, "pedos".

I left my old company and I wonder what my former coworker thinks of Elon now. My coworker seems to be well-intentioned but I sense deep insecurity from him-- the kind of types who typically idolise Musk.
