When he called the cave diver in Thailand a pedo because the diver didn't think the miniature sub Elon's team had built five minutes earlier was a good way to rescue a dozen people stuck in a cave. Before that, although I didn't really pay much attention to the guy, I think in general I had a positive impression of him. --- Read Swastika Night for a preview of Project 2137 from 1937 ...

Elon didn't make Paypal in the slightest, and instead merged his company with an already successful because they made Paypal company and, in spite of him desiring the opposite they decided to call the newly merged company "Paypal."
