    Elon Musk could have gone to the history books as the brilliant entrepreneur that started the electric car revolution and who made the starlink system that connects places fiberoptics can’t reach.

    taylor swift, she has been seen hanging out with maga more and more, as she comfortable being a billionaire, and her recent music releases has been very bland as of late, who knows when the fans will turn on her.

    Sorbo, couldve stuck with his shows, if he handt gone to a chiro to get a stroke from and then holding a grudge on Xena for like 20+years, plus he had his own show which he controlled, but still screws it up.

    John Lasseter. He’s the reason why Pixar/disney had such strong story telling the years he was active. And then it turned out he was a perv. Sooooo disappointing.

        Toy Story is a collaborative effort made by many people. If Tom Lassiter had his name written in a death note, Pixar would still have made movies.

        Harry Potter was entirely written by JK Rowling; the movies, games, and merch are adapted from the novels. Write “Joanne K Rowling” in a death note, no more Harry Potter.

        Also Rowling uses her money to aggressively bankroll right-wing political causes. (She’s best known for the transphobia, but also materially opposed Scottish independence). As such, she has affected more people than Lassiter, though Lassiter’s crimes definitely were worse for the people he did them to.

    JK Rowling. Everyone used to have a very favourable opinion of her. I remember when the media would worship every tweet she made, as though she brought about world peace. Then she became obsessively transphobic and now that’s all people think of when they think of her as a person. At first, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought it might be a misunderstanding. But then she went out of her way to make sure everybody knows how transphobic she is. It’s become her whole personality. Even Elon Musk, whose own child stopped talking to him because of his transphobia, told Rowling to knock it off because she was harping on transgender issues too much.

      Ha ha yes, I thought maybe it was overwrought reporting, so I looked into what she was actually saying, and omg it was so much worse. She didn’t just double down, she tripled-downed, with extra sprinkles. Horrible, horrible person.

    Rudy Giuliani was known for taking down the mob before being dubbed “America’s Mayor.” Now he works for the mob.

      I do think he had at least some empathy in the early days. The money destroyed that part of his brain though and he’s carttonishly evil now.

      That’s putting it lightly

        To be entirely fair, I’m not sure he had the best shot at having empathy, his whole family benefited from the apartheid in south Africa.

        Google will confirm he’s a comedian by trade, and pretty funny. But he showed up at the UFC thing on that guy’s lawn in DC, and didn’t really address the wave of hate he got by ruining his neutral image; not in the slightest.

        It was a bad look, to say the least.
