Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his “fanboys” who have attempted to use the billionaire’s IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.
I mean, he is using his position to gain wealth and power. Im sure he didnt get there by being stupid. No, hes not some Tony Stark level engineer and his intellectual and engineering achievements are nothing of note. Hes really good at swindling people and getting a large proportion of the population to like him, that takes some talent.
Survivorship bias.

This. A million times this! For so many things in life. So many persons fail to get this. Entrepreneurs, billionaires, success-stories.
Succeeding doesn’t mean you made the right decision with the information you had; it means you made the right decision now that we know the outcome.
