I'm pretty sure the comment came from the other direction - that Twitter's board/CEO wasn't so inept they needed to be advised by HN.

> He ain't as smart as you think he is.

My comment didn’t say anything about Elon. Please read it again.

Have you seen him give the everyday astronaut guy the boca chic tour? Yeah, he's pretty damn smart.

If you mean he has poor financial judgement, that's something else - but there are billions of reasons why you might be mistaken.

Just like Boeing, Lockheed, GM, etc.

Those companies don't have people worshipping them like they're a collective of geniuses. Musk's companies certainly aren't any worse than those companies - but they're no better either, and he's no Messiah.

> he's no Messiah.

Saying that on HN is just cruel: you know full well you have exactly the niche in your grip that simultaneously wants to exclaim.. the behavioural tendency of the child that he is, and bears the feeling 'no no, not here'...
