The “pedo guy” was the mask off moment. Unless you were in the industry and dealt with him first hand, it was hearsay and rumor and at the time, many of us wanted to see a revitalized space program and electric cars. We kinda just went along with his Hank Scorpio impression, thinking it was an act.
Hank Scorpio would be much preferred.
Scorpio actually has compassion. He just also recognized that a few workers burning alive was steps towards innovation!

Really all you had to do was ever hear anything from him. He was clear about who he was.
I don’t track down and listen to CEOs. I don’t know most of them. The pedo sub thing was generally the first negative I heard about him also, just from general impressions that came off if you didn’t search for him specifically. I also heard about the Type E and Type 3 thing, and how he wanted to have the cars spell out SEX. I thought it was a bit immature, but didn’t read much further into it back then how much of a manchild he was.
If you’re not dialed into specific types of content, you just didn’t hear it. It’s not simply opening your ears as you said. It would involve having enough interest in looking up a CEO of a company, and many of us don’t do that. I don’t know who runs Kroger, though I have some negative opinions due to the price fixing. I don’t know who is the CEO of Aldi, of Nissan, of AMD, of cuisine Art, etc. I use products from or purchase from the previous companies either daily or weekly, but knowing the CEO generally doesn’t affect me.
What he’s done since then does now affect much more, but back then it wasn’t that important for most to know.
