Elon Musk: The Worlds Smartest Idiot

1. What?

All these views (345) and no comments?

First of all, this was enlightening. I never looked into Musk much, figuring he was a blowhard like trump, and guess what? I was right. He and trump are truly birds of a feather. Musk got lucky on PayPal and used the money to buy himself the right to call himself a co-founder of Tesla. And that’s just one element of his persona.

His trademark business strategy is to hell with employee safety or even concern for morale. Just work ‘em to death or at the very least, disability. This is related to trump, whose version is to never pay anybody.

Another commonality is they that both don’t mind making total asses of themselves in writing. Bother to research anything? Even if they do, they pay no attention to what they found. That incident with Halli boggled my mind.

There seems to be no concern whatsoever about their reputation because to them, a lie is just as good as ethos.

2. Yup...he's a young t-rump! Twitter is on its last leg, tesla earnings projected to fall 7% next yr, and that's just

The beginning. Everything he touches dies!

4. It will be

Satisfying to see him fail.

Remember Hummers? Expensive monstrosity. I have a neighbor who got stuck with one and I laugh every time I drive by it.

The ugly cyber truck will have that status soon, if it doesn’t already. It will be a monument to Musk’s desire to appear to be unconventional and daring. A dazzling genius of futuristic design.

Now supposedly the cyber truck resists dents and is easy to repair. Also, it is designed in such a way that the occupants sit toward the center ( for the sake of safety). Those would be valuable features if he was able to keep the price in line with competitors like the F150. I don’t know what the F150 goes for, though. The cyber truck is $79,000. $82,000 up to $102,000 for the 2025 version.

5. I think the F150 Lightning is $20,000 less

Plus it doesn't rust. A way better deal in my opinion.

3. Also

I’m a little reluctant to analyze the body language of Musk because he’s on the spectrum, but keeping that in mind….

When you watch this video, he often straightens his shoulders and thrusts himself forward. Posturing. It seems he is always posturing.

This reminds me of someone who is not concerned about a true exchange of communication with the listener, but of what and how he is going to say something. Never once does he clarify; instead he seems to be setting the stage for his next grand pronouncement.

Communication is a wonderful tool to get the thoughts of another person, another viewpoint, another set of eyes. What could be wrong with that? You can only benefit from the thoughts of others, provided they are willing to be honest with you.

Contrast this affect with what we see from a person like Jamie Raskin or Andrew Weissman. Instead of self-conscious posturing, what we see with them is intense concentration. There is sawdust on the floor from the mental work they are doing. Engagement is what we see: not some prancing peacock looking for an ego stroke.
