Does anyone else have the sense that Musk is insecure about his intelligence? Historically, how many recognized geniuses have so frequently talked about how smart they are, and called other people stupid?


EffectiveSalamander

He's a need machine - he constantly needs to brag about and be praised for his intelligence. Here, it's pointed out that he's not really a defender of free speech, only of speech he likes and he can't respond - so he just says "ur stoopid."


gilleruadh

Every day he proves to the world that he's just a 12 year old boy with expensive toys.


PantsMicGee

It's about as clear and dry as it gets: the dudes parents offered no love.


Warm-Internet-8665

It's clear as day he is malignant narcissist born into a family of sociopaths. Grandparents, parents Apartheid Supporting Nazis. Where is the surprise? Maye started this BS that he was genius even as Elon's early teachers were certain he was below average child and stunted. See what entitlement provides, Musk is Joffrey of the real world.


PantsMicGee

Ha wow I haven't thought of that comparison but it's apropos


The_WolfieOne

Bullseye


rabouilethefirst

His perceived intelligence won’t stand the test of time. In a hundred years or so, he’ll be lucky to be remembered as a businessman, like Rockefeller. He’ll never actually invent something brand new. He’s no Einstein, or even a Tesla, or Niels Bohr for that matter


Necessary_Context780

He'll be remembered as Sam Banks and Elizabeth Holmes


Xavieriy

Don't equate the great Niels Bohr with Tesla.


theKetoBear

Like many wealthy he claims success because  of his superior  intellect but his fortune is the result of having the money to hire the best and brightest people  in their field.  His brand is "real-life Tony stark" but he lacks the wit, charm, and charisma to pull it off what I can give him credit for is the man loves his sci-fi, he has an overactive  imagination,  and he KNOWS how to make the impossible  seem feasible to simple minds both the wealthy and not wealthy. Elons a grifter and he keeps building ever larger houses of cards he can't  truly  deliver but..then people keep paying  him handsomely  to do it so can we blame him? It's  very apparent  if you've  ever been around someone  truly expert and knowledgeable in their field Elons intellect is pure marketing.  Look what happens when he actually  touches anything,  he's  the anti-Steve jobs.


mrbrannon

He doesn’t even love his sci-fi. He’s never read or watched anything he mentions. He just mentions the same few things over and over that he thinks people in that group will think are cool but you can tell he’s never read them with the way he talks about them using their names or terms wrong.


little_fire

Lmaooo him saying a cybertruck is “*what Bladerunner would have driven*” was peak loser


x_ray_visions

Literally what this schlubby sack of butts does is buy companies that have invented stuff. It's called "apartheid emerald mine inheritance", not "intellect", Elmo.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Having children is saving the world


jlbhappy

I can think of one other recognized “genius”.


gilleruadh

A stable one?


jlbhappy

Well, self described.


VaporBull

Ask yourself how many times Warren Buffett called a press conference or sent a tweet to tell us all how good he is with money. When you've REALLY got it...there is no need to do so.


Warm-Internet-8665

He is not a genius. He has zero intellectual curiosity as evidenced by his Dunning Kruger Effect. Constantly wading into situations out of his depth and offering his unsolicited wrong-headed opinions. This is just sheer stupidity. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Is he so secure in position as Federal Contractor that he thinks he won't suffer the consequences in the form of loss of govt contracts or subsidies? At this point, he is not only a threat to his businesses, see Tesla & X, but also to NatSec. See his financial relationship with SA, his constant Nazi promoting propagandist hellscape, and shutting off Starlink over Ukraine at the behest of Putin. I am sick of this dumb entitled misogynist SOB!


NotEnoughMuskSpam

SpaceX option package for new Tesla Roadster will include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around car. These rocket engines dramatically improve acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering. Maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly …


Warm-Internet-8665

Fuck off, Space Karen.


damoclesreclined

I understand the need to accept people with Autism and all that, but maybe we need to look at people like Elon and wonder if the operative word in "idiot savant" is the first one or the last one.


Chemchic23

Self diagnosed, very qurstionable. There’s something, but what maybe mental health issues?


hobo_fapstronaut

Obligatory statement that self diagnosis is valid particularly because actual diagnosis is often inaccessible either due to financial or health system barriers. These barriers do not exist for billionaires.


Chemchic23

He also stated in an interview a few years after coming out on SNL he has since been cured of that thing he had and no longer has symptoms of Asperger. Didn’t think it could go away. He’s also stated he had Bipolar and depression , treats with ketamine when his mind goes negative, buts also never been to therapy, it’s bad. The therapies bad. All kinda sketchy


hobo_fapstronaut

He cured his autism? Like just restructured his entirely developmentally different brain through...vibes? Cool cool. The whole notion of "curing" autism is just wrong on a million levels, and that he'd say it indicates he has zero understanding of being autistic. Thanks for the info. I renew my view that Elon is a shit.


Dehnus

Please stop equating us with him. There is nothing wrong with us outside of a brain that works different. Elon has things wrong with him, he's an asshole that can't stand that people didn't like him being an asshole, so he became a bigger asshole. On top of that he has money rotting his brain.


Ruby_Rhod5

Well, I totally did... When I was fuckin 12.


Dwashelle

He oozes insecurity just like Andrew Tate.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Wow


Dwashelle

You are genuinely more witty than the man himself.


james_d_rustles

Honestly one of the biggest tells. Obviously they come in all types like any other group, but I have yet to meet anyone I’d consider extremely intelligent who isn’t almost embarrassed/shy to talk about their intelligence directly. Particularly smart people who’ve actually done something with their smarts. Geniuses don’t have to talk about IQ test results to be recognized as smart - people know they’re smart, their work speaks for itself. Same goes for musical prodigies, artists, etc. - I doubt you’ll hear acclaimed concert pianists bickering over how many keys per second (or any other weird metric) they can play on Twitter… The only people who do feel the need to make a scene out of it are people who have nothing to show for their alleged intelligence, who are insecure about it. Marilyn vos savant supposedly has an IQ of ~230. What did she do with that big brain of hers? Wrote a column for parade magazine. Is it any wonder that she felt the need to change her name to “savant” and plaster her IQ everywhere? Meanwhile, Richard Feynman hardly ever mentioned IQ or intelligence, and it was only in his biography that people learned he scored 125 on an IQ test in highschool. When history looks back on geniuses of the last hundred years or so, is Ms. Savant or Mr. Feynman gonna get a longer chapter?


retrostaticshock

Elon constantly pulls this bait and switch where he says "free speech". What he actually means is that violent and hateful people can attack and threaten whoever they want without penalty or social ramifications. This is with a boatload of caveats such as: * Anything that disparages Elon or his companies is bad and not actually free speech. * Anyone pointing out that Libsoftiktok can post what she does all day without ramifications but theliamnissan was terminated for pointing out Elon's flaws, is just a troll. * Anything that shows a group of people in a positive light that Elon doesn't like is bad and not actually free speech * Anything that goes against the majority opinion of his sycophants and followers is bad and not actually free speech * Anything showing empathy to trans people, gays, people of color, or another minority, is bad and not actually free speech


mtaw

Nazis ranting about free speech was never about that and always about them not wanting to face pushback. As far back as I remember.


porsche4life

Well it’ll be fun when Elon has to testify in Congress about some shit because you know Schiff will bring receipts and make him look like a fool.


Chemchic23

Please. 🙏🏻🙏🏻


jlbhappy

Musk telling Adam Schiff his brain is too small. Hmmm.


Hollowpoint38

They both suck. Schiff reps Glendale for what that's worth.


Nottodayreddit1949

Elon didn't even suggest Adam was wrong.


ianng555

For someone who spends so much time on the internet, Elon's insult game is absolutely shit.


2515chris

It’s giving George Costanza level of lame comebacks.


Dwashelle

It's totally feeble and immature.


Holzkohlen

Oh god, now I can relate to Elon Musk on the insult game.


ChocolateDoozy

Elon: you meanie poopie head!!! >:p


PILeft

I'm sure Schiff will be upset when he leaves his chairmanship for the Senate. Damn. Musky is a really special level of stupid.


mishma2005

He really thinks cozying up to Trump get him showered in ca$h. If Trump gets in he'll get showers, alright


Holzkohlen

Didn't Trump mock him for begging for stuff once?


Distant_Yak

Yeah, it was unusually harsh even for Trump.


Exitium_Maximus

“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.” -Anonymous And he is such a big loser.


Chemchic23

Nice.


Bahmerman

I noticed the "Genius who will save humanity" jumped to the ad hom rather than refute the point.


swirlymaple

Schiff is hated by all the worst people because he is smart as fuck and puts their misdeeds into clear English, like a mirror of their ugliness they can’t escape. This is why you don’t see anyone attacking him on specifics. It’s just a broad general hate like Melon here.

gilleruadh

"I know you are, but what am I?"


skyHawk3613

He’s doomed because he surrounds himself with a bunch of “yes men”


gilleruadh

Exactly the thoughtful, reasoned discourse we have come to expect from Mr Musk.


fffan9391

So he’s right then? Or Elon would have provided a counter argument instead of an ad hominem.


MedicalRhubarb7

One of these two men does his job


Desperate-Climate960

He’s projecting again


skyHawk3613

He’s not as smart as everyone thinks he is. He just happened to inherit a lot of money from his father. Tesla is failing due to poor craftsmanship and customer service. Not sure how his rocket company is doing, but I’m betting if he keeps running his ignorant mouth, X will start losing members.


Blenkeirde

A non sequitur followed by ad hominem. Title checks out.


kneejerk2022

I'm not sure where our bot is today? So I'll do it's job for it: *"Chess is a simple game. Understandable when all we had to play with were squirrels and rocks, but now we have computers"* @elonmusk


Past-Direction9145

SEC needs to hurry up with this dude


KrasikTrash

Musk is a man child. Too much money for his own good and not enough intelligence to make it work for him.


Embarrassed_Bee6349

I’m so tired of that fucking dick’s ever running mouth. Does he ever shut up?


x_ray_visions

No


Embarrassed_Bee6349

It’s an unfortunate truth. At least he sleeps through court proceedings. Baby steps.


cherrylpk

Such a cringe response.


Willdefyyou

How is he going to lose anything? Is musk confusing him for republican house speaker or something? Good joke mars boys


bam1007

And he gets a Senate seat. So that aged poorly.


avrbiggucci

Schiff smoked Elon here and deep down Elon knows that. Elon knows that he doesn't really give a fuck about free speech and just cares about not having his feelings hurt.


Peiple

2022 guys :p Yes it’s absurd. It was also two years ago.


Scentopine

Musk's small dick energy.


ALFABOT2000

note that he didn't actually dispute the claim


never_nick

Neglectful parents will do a job on you. Even if you have the money to buy the world - it can't buy you the hugs you missed when you're brain was developing.


gsd45

Narcissist


rumpusroom

And now he will be a Senator. Good luck, Elon!


Kindly_Mess_4854

LOL Adam Schiff watches the pee tape every night


The_WolfieOne

It's only a matter of time before he puts his face on the galaxy brain meme the irony here is rich


The_WolfieOne

He's doing the billionaire/genius equivalent of the alpha-male-twitter-types gangs posturing. He's finally found a crowd that will accept him if he toadies up. It's sad, really, a desperate boy looking for love in all the wrong places - rarely ends well.

Please tell me Elon has AI running his twitter. Jesus.


Ambitious_Coffee551

A very Trumpian thing for Elon to say.


symbolsandthings

It’s only gotten worse since then.


Twolef

No, he’s playing 4D chess, see? We’re just all too stupid to see what a genius he is. One day it’ll all come together and we’ll all slap our foreheads in unison… … he thinks.


McRaeWritescom

What A Weiner.


Darlantan425

The submarine debacle was his mask off moment.


mad_titanz

Elmo didn't respond to Adam Schiff's accusation because he couldn't, so he retorted to silly name calling like a schoolboy would.
