An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

Elon has proven by his "Fraud!" tweets that he definitely is not a genius. He can't even understand basic math or moderately complex computing logic. As such, I definitely won't be setting foot in a Tesla or SpaceX vehicle any time soon.
He’s currently the 12yr old lackey of the School bully, that’s taken charge of the school. Carrying out the same tasks given to Hitlers right hand man and also Putins. Funny how things never change
Hm, as a complete moron I can empathize. But I’m gonna need to do a looooot of ketamine to be able to compare our reactions accurately. It’s just good science, but I don’t do drugs so I guess I’ll leave it up to the morons that do.
He isn't a genius, none of the ideas are his own, he's just like Trump, a mk an who born in to enormous wealth, who's never had to work a day in his life, who, to cover his inexperienced follows the populist approach and says whatever will appeal to the uninformed and gullible.
The guy is dumb as a box of rocks. He only has money and got lucky with PayPal that’s it. He bought Tesla he has Asperger’s and is most definitely on the spectrum. He’s not a genius in anyway.
In the hypothetical, don't forget he and Trump think autocracy is more efficient than American democracy, and that's the efficiency they're going for, by letting all this reckless chaos loose.
I can’t get a read in his IQ at all because I think it is completely obscured by mental illness and drug addiction right now. Up in the air for me but those first two mean he can’t be in power🤷♂️
The only other theory I have is that Trump basically looks up to anyone much richer - especially where they appear to have it in their power to direct money corruptly to Trump.
Putin, not Xi. Saudis, not Europe. Musk, not the GOP.
You test and redesign and document and redo everything until it's chefs kiss perfect. The craftsmanship in engineering is visible in apple, Microsoft, Samsung. Never in Tesla or SpaceX. Heaps of garbage for a man with an inflated ego, what a waste of time, and effort.
Like you don't just jump the gun and do shite. You sit back and repeatedly clarify the problem and design the solution to a problem until the functionality of a system has theoretically and physically the least errors.
See I have engineering qualifications and I live in the third world, homeless and unemployed. But I'm so in tune with how I approach things considering how I've been trained in tech that, well, it kinda becomes obvious he's a fraud.
Sorry to hear about your situation mate. Everyone should have a place to live and it's fuckers like musk who actually have the power to end homelessness but choose not to. Cunts. I hope you manage to turn things around my friend.
I think given the fact that he will quickly publicize his "findings" only for them to be continually proven wrong is pretty dumb. Its either that he knows he is wrong but pushes the narrative anyway, or he genuinely thinks he is right. My money is on the latter
Not even close to a genius. He is a capitalist vulture. Much like Trump, he is a privileged individual who's never accepted responsibility and stoled "genius" from others. Did he make some good investments? Yes, but that is it. He is a sick demented person. The Prince of the Scamalot administration.
He revealed how stupid he was when he told everyone he was playing 4D chess. No one actually playing 4D chess wants anyone else to know that's what they are doing. Too stupid to know how stupid he's being.
Hey, if Elon weren't higher than the GOPs opinion of itself, he might be offended by that. Well he'd still be offended, but then he'd lose focus and take it out on more random federal employees.
another good test that Elon and many many politicians are failing right now: could I, Some Guy Who Is Average Brained, do a better job if thrown into the situation? I wish the answer wasn't yes so often!
He's no Genius. Didn't start Tesla or SpaceX or Paypal (that was his buddy Thiel was bought Vance). Elon is following what Curtis Yarvin has laid out for him. Basically a corporate monarchy, Musk is CEO and Trump is Chairman. https://www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-musk-ceo-dictator-doge/
elon: i am become meme!
evryone in the room: *silent*
elon: no, you don’t get it, it’s like *I* have *BECOME* the *MEME*
everyone in the room: i wish he would share some of his drugs with us
He’s very smart. He bought himself control over government. He is suggesting people get $$ of 20% or 5k from “savings”, he is working to decrease his taxes, increase $$ to himself and buddies, remove social programs, etc. w/o any control over him. How many other people get away with it?
Excellent observation! DOGE is dumb - so dumb they didn’t buy this domain name before we did. Check out our website detailing the flaws in DOGE thinking. https://www.dogeisdumb.com
Honestly I think this is giving morons too much credit, a lot of them know when they are out of their depth and don't attempt to destroy the government in an attempt to bluff through it
I think it is entirely possible (perhaps even highly probable) that Musk is a brilliant inventor and entrepreneur who has the political evolution of a 12 year old. People don’t tend to be uniformly brilliant at everything, everyone is good at some things and terrible at others.
Echoing existing replies, just watch any video on YouTube from a channel who isn't glazing him and you'll see an "accurate enough" retelling of his actual achievements. He buys his way in then bullies his way to the top, destroying anyone in his way, that's his entire M.O.
he is not an inventor - he steals other people's work and passes it off as his own, and his own ideas are either so broad as to be meaningless or complete idiocy (e.g. the insistence on using visual sensors only to achieve autonomous driving)
That’s an interesting hypothetical except one of the only people I’m 100% certain is a complete moron that I can compare him to is Elon musk. A vicious circle
"We arbitrarily fired all the new hires and recent promotions in the government because we saw the word 'probationary'" is very much an Idiocracy approach to governance.
A family friend has been a researcher since 2019 but got promoted in 2023 and was classified as probationary for 3 years since he had to bring in his own funding for the research.
You can be a probie if you simply change departments in the same agency.
"Arbitrarily" implies the reasoning is hard to understand/lacking.
The goal is to fire as many people as quickly as possible, regardless of what they do, and this is just an easy way to do that. So it isn't arbitrary, as much as just having a moronic idea of how to fix things.
And don't forget we also capped Federal employees' government credit cards at $1 to limit spending and saved the taxpayers a ton of money. Nevermind that the employees are responsible for the credit card balance.
I went to college with a guy who freshman year made it his “thing” that he was into Ancient Greece while the rest of us were listening to Wu-Tang and watching Trainspotting and people thought he was really smart because he adopted smart guy affectations but he really was mediocre in every way
Meanwhile, you have detailed knowledge of B Kung Fu movies, crippling heroin addiction, Scotland and Staten Island. And you can probably talk to strangers normally.
All much more valuable for a real life lived in the present day.
That's a challenging one, because whatever I ASSUME is the thing a complete moron would do, he decides is too smart for him and does something even dumber than I had imagined.
Uhh, behaviour is the main indicator of intelligence. That pedigree boer test tube fucker is as stupidly pathetic as a warm and greasy slice of processed cheese that's all floppy but wants to please it's eugenecist mother and he behaves like it too.
No, it is not. High IQ people often have wretched behavior. Awkward, socially inept, strange phobias and social ticks. At the same time, they often are highly skilled at masking and fitting in. Further, social skills can make low intellect and poor knowledge, does all the time.
IQ is racist nonsense and you seem to be talking about typically autistic traits. Elon is neither very intelligent nor autistic. He's just a spoiled, over priveleged cunt who has failed upwards in a system designed to reward pathetic loser white boys who think they're special.
He is all of my worst micro managers rolled into one. And you know that they say that micro managers have to do so because they need to a) appear to be effective and b) don’t have a clue as to what they are doing.
Federal workers received the following email:
"Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week". They need a control group of average workers.

Musk Says Government Workers Must Detail Their Workweek or Lose Their Jobs
“Who the fuck are you to understand, let alone evaluate, what I do? I do good. Elon, you and your #DOGEBAGS need to spend a few DAYS with me to see what I do, not read some 5 point email. But you DON’T CARE.”
Unfortunately, his defenders subscribe to Horseshoe Intelligence Theory: the smartest people do the dumbest shit but for deep reasons that are incomprehensible to us normies

Groucho Marx was also credited for the saying too.
Admit it - he slays.
Is there really anything more to life than being really, really… really ridiculously cringe?
I suppose the difference is that Musk is like this all the time.
Not that I don’t think Trump is a moron, but eg today’s UN Resolution isn’t just moronic, it’s out of character.
Antagonistic, critical of everyone - Europe, China… even Canada.
But Russia? Never ever ever a bad word to say.
Putin, not Xi. Saudis, not Europe. Musk, not the GOP.
That sort of fits the facts.
Day 1 fire a % of workforce.
Day 2 the NNSA does WHAT???
Just sayin'

Like saving money by not servicing your brakes until the whole system is shot!

He's also confirmed that Dunning Kruger can also apply to those on the spectrum.
he is a con artist

I'm not a violent person, but I think he badly needs a punch in the face.
A fool is a fool regardless of their intellect.
And clearly Musk is exceptionally foolish.
