The issue with Tesla & Elon Musk is that he has a powerful reality distortion ability just like Steve Jobs did. He wills things to happen by force of personality and by believing it so, he convinces others to join him in making these things reality, which then becomes reality. He makes things become true by claiming them to be real before they are.

This is not normal and rare to be so talented in that aspect.

Hard to predict success/failure or bet against when you have someone like this.

I am not saying Elon Musk is perfect. Also I am not saying he can control things he definitely doesn't have control over. I am also not an investor in Tesla or BTC. But he does have an ability to make things happen, things that seem impossible, when he is in a position of influence.

The issue with Elon Musk is that he has a lot of money and applies it to all kinds of bullshit. He doesn't have a reality distortion field. His fans have one. They think this guy is smart. Read his Twitter and name three smart things he wrote. I can't find a single one.

Is calling someone "the pedo guy" count?
