The point is that all of tech has now collectively decided that Elon Musk is a "phony" and "not that smart".

Apparently there was a memo sent to everyone in tech that they have to completely discount his work at Tesla and SpaceX and only evaluate him based on his tweets.

I feel like I'm living in bizarro world where overnight, Elon Musk became a dumbass - at least in the eyes of the tech industry.

If he doesn't want to be evaluated as a dumbass, he can simply stop making dumbass tweets.

If you were smart, you'd understand that the twitter persona serves a business purpose.

I reckon you also think the Kardashian family is "dumb" because of their public persona.

Outside of people who blindly lucked into something, I can’t think of anyone stupid who actually built a long-term, sustainable business where they had to juggle multiple duties.

"his work" at telsa and spacex is securing funding, its the engineers there that achieve things despite musk.

It will be interesting to see how things go now the free money tap is turned off for the casino stock market

which would make him a business genius.

That's also a genius, just of another kind.

Absurd to suggest that it was just luck or grift that helped him make multiple $100B companies.
