I understand why he is unpopular with many people and to be frank I have quite the distaste for all billionaires, but he is not stupid which is something that is often claimed.
No-one becomes a multi-billionaire due to a lack of intelligence or common sense.
Musk knows exactly what he is doing, he didn’t buy Twitter to make a quick buck, he bought it derail it and he’s done that quite thoroughly. $35bn to Musk is pocket change.
I mean I get it, if I was a big Twitter user and a new CEO made it something that I now hated, I’d think the bloke was an idiot, but that is actually just a difference of opinion and has nothing to do with intelligence.
In short, whilst Musk is clearly very unpopular with some people and I can understand why, the man clearly is not an idiot. Some people really don’t like it when you tell them that.
Edit: 14 downvotes in 30 minutes lol, I can’t say I wasn’t expecting this but judging by the replies so far, I think it just proves that it’s an unpopular opinion!
At no point did I say “smart”, “genius”, or “stupid”. I said “intelligence”, which was your choice of wording, in my rebuttal.
I also made no claim regarding Musk directly. I just pointed out the flaw in your argument that there is a correlation between a person’s wealth and their intelligence.
