Do you consider yourself not a normie but someone with genius-level intelligence?

I think the answer to your question is implied by the attitude of calling people "normies".

Do you think 'normie' has some negative connotation? It's just internet slang for a normal person.

No I'm pretty normie. My point is the significant players don't share this low opinion of Elon. Only normies, but not all normies. A lot of normies worship him too obviously.

Let me guess, you are referring to people who work in the space industry? A very small industry where there's a very good chance you'll be forced to work with SpaceX, and if you piss of the petulant manchild you'll be blacklisted and effectively kill your own career.

Listen to Musk talk about something you know in great detail, and you'll realize he's a moron grifter.

Feel free to link to something that exemplifies this.
