    I hate that many people idolise other people.

    It’s possible to like some of the work of somebody without idolising them and blindly listening to or following absolutely everything they do.

      Elon Musk is the best example: SpaceX has some really cool ideas (Falcon 9, Starship, Starlink) and Tesla made EVs palatable to car enthusiasts, which is an important step.

      But on the whole he is an absolute piece of shit with a fragile ego.

        That’s a great example, I was prompted by the Fluke Skywalker stuff going on, But there are plenty of times when people who are famous for something are found to fall short. Then you get this outpouring of grief and disappointment, It happens enough that people should know better really.
