I hate this headline, because it dishonestly portrays the subject as having changed, when what really happened was reporters & editors went along with a heroic self-mythology rather than performing scrutiny and now realize what a mistake that was, w/o owning up to it. See: Giuliani, Rudy.

He protected Crimea twice from ukrainian attacks and now says that Taïwan is for China as Hawaï for USA, even if the comparison has no sense in regard of History. Isn't he becoming cumbersome for the Pentagon? They're going to "disconnect" him one way or another, no?

I strongly dislike when very real, powerful people are being mystified through this whole comic-strip talk. How is this helping to get a grip on anyone’s responsibilities and hold them accountable?

It’s just assumed in the US that a wealthy person is a super hero. It’s disgusting how much love and respect is shown a person simply for being rich.

How Elon Musk went from desperately seeking approval of people who saw him as a superhero to desperately seeking approval from pretty much anyone, including those who see him as a racist, troll, or supervillain

I extra hate it because every time some shitty guy writes a shitty book, he drip feeds trash for 3 months leading up to release and in exchange gets to completely decide what narrative will be spun.

Agreed. That fool was never a hero of any kind.

I know writers often don't decide headlines but this incredibly deluded headline is definitely keeping me from reading the actual piece

Bold of you to assume it was a mistake on their part.
