People actually wrote books about how much of a genius this guy is

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 34 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They were the real geniuses.

"Elon Musk is big smart the book - $30!"

"Wowowowowow hands over $30 dollars" x 1,000,000+ sales

30 million dollars.

And all it cost was some paper, ink and your integrity as an author.

Yeah, i actually don't forgive them for this. Like, it dropped my opinion of the show by a bit.
