He has PhD in BS though.

I heard Obama was born in Kenya and Elizabeth Warren is an Indian

Ankle biting rarely has its intended effect.

Except by venomous snakes.

"The academic “stolen valor” subverts judgment (“but he’s a genius!”). "

Who said that there are no geniuses among con men?

He will be a genius no matter in which category he ends up.

I still haven't seen evidence that he's a genius.

> I still haven't seen evidence that he's a genius.

There's a wealth of evidence to make a case for the opposite, though.

He's made billions, he's obviously a genius con man.

This seems weird…if Musk is lying about his degree in physics, I’m assuming someone should have hunted that out since?

Although I've never seen this picked apart so thoroughly, he gets called out often on this and other lies, but his always-escalating exciting announcements of imminent future progress get more attention.

>Elon’s key influences are the “PayPal Mafia” capos, Peter Thiel & David Sacks. They urged him to buy Twitter, advise him on running it. Both with childhoods in apartheid S. Africa, angry culture wars at Stanford, now working on Thiel’s ‘political project’ to upend democracy. 5/

Just a little bit nuanced and biased?

>I stand by what’s in this thread. If Elon wants to sue for defamation, I’ll meet at the courthouse. But Elon, there’s an offramp. You can be a hero - stand up for America. Talk about what happened. Who pushed you to buy, and why? People may forgive. 66/

ugh

What’s nuanced and biased? That’s literally what those guys are doing. Well, that and Thiel ingesting blood of young people so he can live forever.

I'm not especially interested in seeing Musk cashiered as I am in the potential for his carefully dissected and doumented downfall to deliver a much-needed crippling blow to the Great Man Theory itself.

It's a very simple matter to verify a degree. No 84930 tweet thread needed.

Has anyone verified the degree?

so he is a liar

That explains so many things. Surprised this has not been talked about more in the past.

How do we verify the claims here. Ultimately anybody can post screenshots. To be believable, we need multiple parties with some credentials to get behind this. If a major news organization, well known journalist or representative from university in question could come out and somehow verify or discredit these claims.

The court documents can be found at https://www.plainsite.org/dockets/3cberzj42/superior-court-o..., item 52 is the full records that include copies of his degrees (pages 164-165) and the subpoena response from Stanford University (p175).

there's an email on that site from University of Pennsylvania saying that he did obtain a BS in physics:

If he can pass an entrance exam in STEM at his age. I’m open to entertain he’s ideas now. We all worked hard for own certification.

Basic calculus and electrical work should be given to him.
