I guess i'm jaded, but I find it hard to relate to this kind of hero worship -- maybe i'm just from a different era or region or whatever but i'd find it personally embarrassing as an adult to talk about my broken-heart that was caused by the actions of some distant hero figure, if i had one. (Maybe Knuth counts..)
if author is here, really -- I don't say this to try to be rude to you or anyone else with a similar reaction; I just don't get it. It's simply unsurprising to me that a person in that position would act ruthlessly -- that's exactly how they got to that point, no?
>Elon entered the stage in his early 30s with the creation of Tesla and SpaceX (haters be damned, those are his companies).
aside : Elon by no means entered the stage in his 30s, unless you're referring to your own attention towards him. Maybe that's the difference -- I remember PayPal Mafia Musk and all those smug twenty-something interviews, maybe that flavors my view.
I found it really hard to get through the article because I simply can't imagine fawning over someone like that. It's creepy to start with, but when the fawning is over such a ridiculous manbaby it's even weirder.
