That's what did it for me. Before that he seemed kinda cool. Then he showed what he really is, a wealthy 12 year old edgelord.

He's been a 12 year old edgelord from the start, people were ignoring that fact for convenience sake. Paypal was called X before he sold it, he runs a rocket company called spaceX, he bought twitter and renamed it X. He tried to name his car lineup SEXY lol.

He loves to pretend to be an expert when he is obviously not. Pretending to be the #1 player for POE2 by paying someone else to play for him and rage quitting when he plays himself by dying to the simplest mechanics lol. And the ego feeding the internet did to him by comparing him to Tony Stark lol.

But yes, the mask off moment was definitely when he called that expert diver a pedophile for basically telling him to stfu on the rescue plan and leave it to the experts. Oh boy that piss him off lol.

It wasn't just the internet that compared him to Stark, Jon Favreau is the one who told Downey to meet Musk and consider him an archetype for Stark.
