I'd nominate Elon Musk. All that motherfucker had to do was nothing but make mediocre electric cars and he'd have had a celebrated place in history. Sure, he was always a ridiculous asshole, but relatively few people looked that closely. Now he's throwing out Nazi salutes and making a public shame of himself. The political right despises electric cars and hence Musk, but Nazis gonna Nazi.

    Yeah, he was quite popular right up until a diver rescued some Thai kids (while Musk tried the same in a submarine that didn't fit in the cave), and Elon's mature, grown up response was to call him a paedophile.

    The mask fell off that day and he was unable or unwilling to put it back on.

    Yea, he somehow even got on good terms with the younger generation right about that time when he was guest on pewdiepies channel. Something Mark Zuckerberg so desperately tries to achieve.
