I think you mean it became clear In 2018. Honestly if you were paying attention it was well before that, but that was big news. Even that article mentions him repeatedly coming under fire for his comments on twitter
That’s when it became obvious that he was a terrible human. The odds weren’t exactly good, since only a deeply flawed human can actually amass that much wealth.
However, the “oh my, is… is he… an idiot?” came some time later for me. Aka, the “Elon moment”. The point in time when you hear Elon reveal how clueless he is, by talking about a topic you know something about. I think it was watching the absurdly cringy teams meeting with twitter engineers
He is clearly shit at engineering, has no idea about software development … sooo, it stands to reason that he also doesn’t know much about rocket science.
He sure seems to be gifted at making governments subsidise his ventures tho. So, that’s something… I guess.
There were signs earlier but it became clear in fall 2023
