Roll back to 2013-2015. If he would have maintained this period’s façade, he’d be rich, influential and perhaps, a positive legacy. But he had to join the ultra wealthy club and in turn, push their agenda/interests and watch the momentum he had from those few years, crumble. He’s a meme more than ever and he doesn’t care. He had a chance to do better things, but joined the wrong cult…
And the sad part is that he’s still awfully rich and none of this matters. His worst days are still better than the best days of most of the rest of us.
Will all due respect to your cat (please pet it for me), I’d definitely choose lack of the existential dread over my future financial situation over a pet.
I don’t think you can just choose between a pet and money. It’s a choice between a pet and a lifetime of being sheltered from the real world while sycophants constantly try to suckle some “success” from you. If I could take the money I’d take it without question even if I couldn’t have a pet for the rest of life, but if I had to choose the life I have vs the life Musk has had, I’d probably choose my life.
IIRC the pedo submarine incident happened around 2012 or 2013. That was really the first major indication that something wasn’t matching up with his Tony Stark PR image.

I bet my cat makes me happier than anything makes him.

I know it feels like an eternity ago, but that whole incident happened in 2018.
Could have sworn it was longer ago than that. 2020 being 5 years long didn’t help my perception of time
It was 2018
I see now another commenter already mentioned this, but I’ll keep my comment up for the link.
