He tried really hard to be called the "real life Tony Stark" and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart
I bet that publicist quit the day he called the diver who rescued those kids in Thailand a "pedo guy". That or he just got really lucky without a publicist for a long time until his opinions started being more important than his image or success.
Almost no one in your bubble/perception unfortunately. There are still lots of people that are only aware of him being a POS but still think he’s a genius.
For some reason I read glasses and in my mind I was: "Well I usually don't notice when I wear my glasses so it does makes sense..."
Maybe I need new ones...
Like when he said that the CyberTruck beat a Porche Porsche 911 in a quarter mile whilst towing a Porche Porsche 911, but Engineering Explained did the math and called BS. Then backed up the math by actually doing the quarter mile to prove it.
I read that a few times…is he saying Porsches break down a lot so ya the truck would win.
But then I noticed the spellings. So ya a cyber truck would beat a Porche, they’re cheap knock offs of Porsches
Silly human. You used earthling mathematics. On Mars (where Lonnie is from), physics works a different way. See? Lonnie is the genius all his sycophants say he is.
This is actually good advice in some regards. Go out and prove that what you have been told is true. Don't rely entirely on others to understand the world around you, rely on yourself and think critically about what you believe.
Of course, Conservatives like Musk and his followers are incapable of this. They will watch TV and browse social media and believe everything they are told if it suits them. They'll then insist they "did their own research", which really just translates to finding an echo chamber to seek validating from others on what they already believe.
That is what is frustrating. He doesn't really mean what you "see". He means go with your gut/surface level feelings and understanding. If you "see" something that goes against what you see or what you feel without any specialized knowledge on the subject, go with your priors.
Do I think Elon is a genius? Not really, but I do know he just uses Twitter to troll people and look like an idiot on purpose. It prolly gets his rocks off in some way.
