I, uh, think you mean it beggars belief.

A+ typo, though.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, I was very specific and intentional in word choice.

He can bugger off

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It really boggles the mind.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The short answer is that despite publicity trying to make everyone believe the contrary, he's really, really stupid.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
He really is.

The thing that most people don't get is that you can be intellectually a genius but still a goddamn idiot. Like IQ doesn't mean shit if you don't actually use your brain or if you have zero functional or common sense.

This is true. That said, I'm not convinced Musty was ever any kind of genius.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I can believe that at some point he scored above average on an IQ test, but other than that he's just clever at being a con artist.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
This.

He's probably well-educated, but no one should ever confuse him for a genius.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-26 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I think he's like those AI bros who talk about getting jobs as 'Prompt Creators' or whatever, but the version with money. He's someone who's decided that he's an Idea Guy who thinks up super smart sounding ideas but unlike most of the obnoxious guys online who want to be Idea Guys, Musk has enough money to buy people who are smart enough to possibly make his idea real and then he takes all the credit for it. I don't think he's any smarter than most people, he just has the money to make big ideas happen and he portrays himself as a genius when all he's really doing is thinking up a thing and paying other people money to actually do the hard work of making it happen.

I mean, this is probably true to a degree but I don't think it applies to this specific case.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-26 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Not necessarily but his development definitely stagnated at the level of a spoiled 12 year old brat. Hes the poster child for a chuunibyou that never grew out of that phase.

It's the same mindset that convinced a bunch of white bread Republican men that "We're Not Gonna Take It" is a Conservative anthem.

So basically, mediocre-to-poor media comprehension combined with an unwavering belief that everything they engage with is both for and about them and seasoned with a deep and unsubstantiated conviction that somehow, somewhere, they are being oppressed by Them.
