    I wouldn’t say he’s an idiot. He’s a narcissist who feigns ignorance in order to pander to his fanboys. I think he’s a lot more dangerous than Trump who is an idiot and also a narcissist.

    Articles like this one are well-meaning but they just end up signal-boosting him and validating his narrative that “left wing media are persecuting him.”

      So many people love the narrative that they are idiots.

      Congratulations then, the commander in cheif of the worlds most powerful army and the worlds richest man are idiots. The most powerful democratic nation on earth just got usurped by Pinky and The Brain. If you’re so fucking clever and they are so fucking dumb, how could you let this happen?

      They are a lot of things, but stupid isnt one of them.

        Yeah, this is a very good way of putting it. Musk was born wealthy, but you don’t become the richest man on earth without being good at something.
