I'm having trouble thinking of even historical examples of a single person burning this much goodwill.

It makes me really sad when I think about it. We needed, and still need, the person Elon Musk was at least pretending to be when he founded SpaceX.

Heliogabalus? That guy managed to be Roman emperor and was condemned to damnatio memoriae after his death. He did some very unpopular things such as trying to change the pantheon to a singular, sun-god entity. Didn't end well. And we're talking about him 2k years later

There were quite a few of these; Elagabalus is probably the best-known for it, but about 30 emperors received _some_ form of damnatio memoriae.

Well, clearly the damnatio memoriae didn't work very well, then, did it?
