Elon Musk is not some genius. He’s a complete idiot in how he carries himself. Now, I won’t pretend the guy hasn’t picked things up over time. He’s been in these fields long enough to absorb something. But his problem is truth. Elon has a serious issue dealing with reality.
He’s flamboyant, not in a gay way, but in a look-at-me kind of way. He loves attention. Hates criticism. But when you jump into people’s lives like he did with DOGE and the feds, you stop being liked real quick. Remember when he got all excited about Teslas being “protected” and how the feds said damaging one would be considered domestic terrorism? Cool headline, until you realize that kind of designation means your insurance probably won’t cover the damage. Now who benefits from that? Not you. Not Tesla owners. Insurance companies do.
His intentions might be rooted in some weird attempt at “protection” but they’re wildly misguided, and the people who worship him are even more off-base. Still, calling Elon completely dumb isn’t accurate either. He clearly has picked up some knowledge. But he also seems unstable. Probably autistic, probably chemically imbalanced, probably needs to be on medication, or maybe it’s the crap he’s already taking, prescribed or not. Who knows.
What’s not up for debate is the way he lashes out when he can’t form a coherent thought. That’s classic projection. He’ll accuse others of being stupid because that’s how he feels when he can’t hold the conversation. It’s textbook.
As for his split with the Trump administration, let’s be real. He didn’t leave on good terms. The only thing he probably got was some favors done behind closed doors. No cost savings, no breakthrough policy wins, nothing that moved the needle. And now Trump wants the Supreme Court to keep all of it quiet. Says a lot about what really went down.
People will have their opinions. That’s mine.
