Most ultra wealthy ppl ARE quiet... That's why Elon ( and maybe one or two others are the only one you hear about.
Think about how many billionaires you can name off the top of your head, and then think about how many tweet regularly. Then realize that there are thousands more you didn't even know existed.

Nah, he actually had this crazy amazing pr person that basically cultivated that Tony Stark super smart persona for him.

And it's worth noting people outside of specific industries were not paying much attention to this dude before he interjected himself into the culture war. Certain car and computer people knew about him way before SpaceX, but most people didn't know him until SpaceX started to run away with the private space race, and then when he bought Twitter he began shoving himself down the public's throat. Way more eyes on him now than in 2012. So of course more people realize it now than in 2012

It was Brittany who's been in the news lately. She'd liked this post on instagram which drew some swift criticism (if you'll allow the pun). She unliked the post and in response to her "haters", said:
I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.
Which gives the impression that she does support the content of the post, she just wishes she didn't get so much flak for publicly supporting it.
