He actually is really quite dumb

The thing is, he is a really good liar, and does know how to hype people. Those are just about his only two qualities, but that too is where it ends.

Look at videos from up to a decade ago, it's all lies and hyping but anytime he actually talks about something technical it really shows just how stupid his brain really is.

He's also evil, I won't contest that, but he really isn't intelligent

Recall how Boris Johnson would mess up his hair before going to talk to the general public. I think it's impossible to tell if musk is an idiot or just plays one really effectively.

I've seen enough videos if him in interviews, speeches, but also in more personal moments to know that that is just how the guy is.

Honestly I think he has quite a list of mental illnesses and is just semi high functioning. He named one of his kids some code, he refuses to support his children with various mothers, leaving them to publicly having to beg him for his help, even though he's literally the richest guy in the world...

When someone pushes even slightly back he goes off the rails, see the Thai rescuer he called a pedophile because the guy declined his stupid ideas on how to save children out of a cave...

He's a cleptomaníac. Look at all of his claims for the past 15 years, it's all made up, all lies, all bullshit.

I've been ranting about musk being a scammer for years and nobody listened, everyone and their mother thought he was a genius even though he's just really really dumb
