One of the cleverest people on the planet

The self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” who doesn’t understand what the term free speech means, who locked himself into a ridiculously high priced deal for Twitter whilst tech stocks were falling, and who will now have to pay a billion, minimum, to get out of a deal which has already cost him a fortune. Yeah, genius.

When are people going to stop equating wealth with intelligence?

He’s a proud African American who came from nothing to be the worlds richest men without a single penny given to him by the government who pays more than his fair share of tax. The guy is #goals

African American

I'm not saying he isn't though.

He’s not. Just parodying his strange supporters. They’re turning on him now after he’s dashed their dreams of a right wing Twitter utopia.

The guy is a genius and an incredible businessman but some of his decisions over the last 2 years have been baffling.

He put hundreds of millions into cryptocurrency without doing any research and then 2 months later decided that Tesla wouldn’t accept Bitcoin transactions as it damages the environment. Then he backtracked and decided it doesn’t destroy the environment.

The Twitter saga is weird too, all he’s ever done is trash Twitter for the reasons he’s pulling out of the deal so why make a deal in the first place.

Tesla shares are down 40% from their all times high in Nov 21 and Bitcoin is down 70% from its Nov 21 all time high. It’s almost as if he became a moonboy and never prepared for something like that happening. He probably legit can’t afford to buy Twitter anymore.

“The guy is a genius”

“He put hundreds of millions into cryptocurrency without doing any research”

Mutually exclusive statements.

“ but some of his decisions over the last 2 years have been baffling.”

In fairness I'm pretty sure that was a pump and dump scheme, one which he knew exactly what he was doing.

Sums up how sc@mmy the man is though that he didn't care one single bit that a load of his followers who copied him probably lost a ton of money.

I thought at the time it was a pump and dump scheme but there is no evidence that Tesla sold any BTC or bought back in after the dump.

Personally, I think there’s a good chance is was a pump-and-dump.

But if it indeed was, the second of the two statements I was pointing out are mutually exclusive was invalid.

And yes, you’re right about his disinterest in the outcomes of his champions. But he’s demonstrated in how he’s treated his workers historically that he isn’t interested in matters of morality when it comes to generating income.

pick up a dictionary and check the difference between clever and intelligent. You might learn something.

I said he is one of the "cleverest" people. A very deliberate choice of words. Is it a lack of intelligence that makes you imply I said he is one of the most intelligent people?
