But what if he’s just a fucking idiot?
It's possible that Musk is good at some things and not good at others, but his success at those things he's good at have caused him to think he's good at everything.
Becoming a billionaire requires winning so many dice rolls that it’s difficult (impossible?) to really understand that you can lose sometimes.
That’s the Techius Bromus Effect. They get too much smoke blown up their asses that they eventually believe they’re capable of solving every problem.
I made up the term but the idea is true.
Hanlon's razor is reserved for people without a life long rap sheet of blatant malice.
For what it’s worth, I think Elon is both evil and an idiot.
Evil yes, so much that he's making you believe they are just some idiot
You don’t think it takes a fucking idiot to be forced into spending 44 billion dollars, some of it other people’s money, to purposely destroy a social media platform because you (and the people who’s money you used) were upset how critical said platform was of you?
Then it's unintelligent design.
They wouldn't be the richest men in the world then.
