What have you changed your mind about?
And I don't mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.
What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

Elon Musk.
Sure, I thought, the guy's probably an ass hole considering the amount of exwives he has. A rich cunt billionaire. But Steve Jobs wasn't a nice guy either, but without his... Uh... "special" nature certain aspects of computers would've been decades behind.
But then I started listening to engineers, ones who could see through the hype that Elon Musk seems to create for everything he does, because they understood the numbers behind everything he claims and promises.
And I realised, Elon is full of shit. He's not doing anything that manufacturers didn't already know how to do, and he's selling it like he invented it.
This realisation came well before he bought twitter. When he did buy Twitter and started using it as his own... Plaything, I realised he's actually an immature idiot.
Back in 2015 I was in high school and we had to do a senior project which was a 15 page paper and then a 10 minute presentation too graduate. I did mine on Elon Musk and was fully onboard the Musk train for a while after that. I remember being kinda bummed realizing that this dude who I had thought was gonna revolutionize the wolrd was just a snake oil salesman. I still have a video of me practicing for my presentation which I just stumbled upon on an old harddrive a few months ago.
I think he made a lot of aerospace engineering students depressed.
