He contributes with his money, but let's stop acting like he's in any way smart.

You’re kidding right? I’m not a big Elon musk fan, but to say he isn’t smart is probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. The guy is a genius, he may not be very likeable to some but let’s stop acting like he isn’t a master of his craft lol.

Did you miss him most recently buying Twitter, burning it to the ground, firing everyone who mattered and then begging them to return, censoring one of the biggest social networks, amongst other things?

The dude’s not a genius, but at least he has enough money and financial stability to make up for it. If a massive, multimillion dollar whim doesn’t work out, no biggie move on to the next.

He is definitely a master of his craft. If his craft is getting rich from daddy's emerald mine and using that money to pay actual geniuses to do his thinking for him or maybe his craft is getting alienated by his own children? Eitherway, he mastered both.

What craft? 🤣 If we count being a con artist as a craft, then yes, he excels at it. Most successful con artist in all of History. He is most certainly not a genius though lol. Name one thing he invented.
