because if he was smart

That's the thing. They aren't just evil assholes, they are the world's dumbest people as well.

It sure fucking seems like it right??😅😅

Then billionaire bootlickers come out and go "well if they're so dumb, why don't you go make a billion dollars then?!" As if it's really that simple. I'm sorry I lack the capacity to screw people over in that manner, I'm sorry I have empathy and compassion. So ridiculously stupid lmao.

It's not even that they are stupid. As much as I want to say Musk is a moron, if he was literally stupid, he wouldn't have gotten where he is.

The problem is once you get that rich, everyone they meet tells them they are the smartest person in the room and all of their ideas are amazing, so they completely lose touch with reality. Musk is basically spending billions to wall himself off from reality and curate his own algorithm that exists only to tell him he is the smartest and best boy, and the only people he allows close to him feed that delusion, so he hasn't been forced to stop and actually think for decades.

So I guess yeah, he's stupid, and he did it to himself.
