A real meeting of the mindless.

Elon's far from mindless. He's just a self-serving prick who would burn a country down to increase his stan- oh wait.

Yeah. Fuck.

He's potentially the most dangerous person at that table. He doesn't want power in the limelight - though he uses the limelight when he needs to, yes - he wants power behind the scenes. And he's very good at getting what he wants. That much should be unambiguously clear.

And if gaining that power means helping a fascist fucking prick fuck gain dictatorial powers, well I don't think he'd think twice.

Agreed that he's not mindless, but he's a far cry from "genius". He's just a lucky dipshit narcissist.

I mean unless he's falsifying his own IQ scores he is "technically" a genius - but being intelligent doesn't necessarily mean you're a good person.

Or that you're "right".

Like I said if he is a genius by intellectual standards he's not using it to the benefit of anyone but himself And thanks for the read lol

I'd say idiot savant at best, lol. Rainman correctly deduced the square root of 2,130, but thought cars and candy bars cost 100 bucks. I think Musk is much closer to that.
