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.

The French monarchy is probably a good comparison

The French monarchy also bankrupted France with lavish spending, and financing the American Revolution. France then had a massive drought and couldn't pay back their debts so they increased taxation across the board and caused the French Revolution...which then caused Napoleon to step in and kill it...so-lets pay off our debt so we can afford our social systems.
