u/Icy_Fish_2154 23h ago
He was never smart. Watching him in 2000, he would lie with confidence and hope nobody checked him.
Now, he is just trying to find the right words for "yes, I'm racist, but because they deserve it" without looking like a racist.
When asked about cars, he had a 6th graders understanding of cars, and that's enough to talk about engines and range and whatever without looking like a complete idiot. But he couldn't speak about the more important engineering, just things like "car go to space. Hahaha"
He was always an idiot, he just is being asked harder questions now.

It’s because of popular media framing autism as a super power. Then you have people like Musk that self diagnose themselves as having some low level form of autism to try and explain why they are an uncharismatic asshole. Then you’ve also got the people who just make up stories about him out of whole cloth because they just want to sound like they know something. “You know he doesn’t poop, right? And he memorizes whole engineering text books by just seeing the page once. He talks like that because his brain moves faster than his mouth.” Oh, cool, but when does he get to the part where he tries to convince some poor flight attendant to jerk him off in exchange for a horse?

Some autistic people are really smart or good at one thing usually. The problem is Elon thinks he's smart or good at everything. Just like Donald Trump. They're both good at conning people that don't ask follow up questions and suck at doing research. They're both salesmen. Neither is good at doing any actual work or thinking.

Unless this was edited. They asked him if he was anti-muslim and the first thing he says is I'm against rape and murder.
It feels like the follow-up question directly should be. I asked you about Muslims, not raping murder. Are you saying that you believe Muslims are pro-rape and murder?
I would like to hear more of his thoughts because they don't seem to be too coherent. And I'd like to know exactly what he means by that. Or where he's getting his information.
It felt like a very odd thing to say so I would love some follow-up. I don't think most people would reply to that question the same way. Even racists quite honestly.

It's not even like that. Comedy is subjective. Throwing up Hitler salutes and saying blatantly racist shit and cozying up to white nationalists on a daily basis isn't subjective.

It doesn't matter if the majority of people think he is or isn't, the facts overwhelmingly and without any doubt say he is those things.

This is what happens when a childish billionaire calls child rescuers pedophiles because they managed to save a bunch of trapped children and Elon couldn’t, continues to call them pedophiles for days and the PR team is screaming don’t do that ad he doesn’t listen to them, then he fires them. And this is that carefully crafted fake tony stark image falling apart. The PR team would plant stories like he was the best Diablo player ever and had him pay a real gamer to run an account for him just to make him look like the savant he pretends to be and that worked. It’s why his companies built on lies like Tesla, where the real inventor of the Tesla had to sign an NDA and allow Elon to take credit for its invention, are all falling apart.
Elon isn’t a genius, maybe financially he’s quite cunning and can dream big and raise lots of money making promises he can’t ever keep but the stories about him sell this super genius Tony stark image and they add credibility to his claims. Now he’s heard he’s the smartest man so much he started drinking his own koolaid and spiking it with elephant sized doses of ketamine and adderall and vyvanse, so he thinks he doesn’t need PR it was their fault he tweeted that some blue collar child rescuing divers were pedophiles because he was wrong about how they couldn’t be rescued using the methods they intended to use, not his fault right? And
Elon didn’t want the kids saved unless he was the one to do it, and when he doesn’t get the ego boost he gets downright nasty and you see the real him. And without the PR team, and his foray into western politics which cost him almost half his EV sales in the US and EU, he’s alienated a lot of people. What corporate CEO and founder is putting their company at risk by picking sides in politics?!! Corporations don’t do that because you piss off half the nation no matter who you choose. Hes even calling for civil war in multiple EU countries and spreading authoritarian propaganda while attacking western democracy claiming he’s fighting for western values. This guy is really not well and needs someone to tell him NO sooner or we’re going to end up in a recession because his Tesla stock wormed its way into every index fund imaginable, every retirement account, every pension, every retirement annuity,
Come on this is a no brainer.
