but as soon as he leaves or is out of the spotlight (which is already happening) people will forget about him and focus the blame where it belongs -- on the mad king. The catastrophe that is now just beginning won't really kick in until about 6 months from now, and it will be so bad, that with Musk long gone, people won't even remember what he did. Hell, they would even start buying Teslas again, except they won't be able to afford them.
