I can't believe reddit used to love this dude.
I actually used to admire this guy, based on the image he had created for himself (self-educated in rocket science, which I highly doubt) but the Thai cave incident and calling one of the divers pedo, opened my eyes.
Same here, I used to have this image in my head of a eccentric entrepreneur pushing technology to the max with 'fuck you money'.
Sure he said some crazy shit sometimes, but it kind of felt like he didn't have much of a filter.
Around the time of the Thai cave thing this started to change, but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt until that point.
After that, things just went down hill...
