Which of his statements do you not agree with? 

 His Rogan interview he’s so scattered and off about a number of things too many to count 

 Agree. But I find his hypothesis about nuclear quite interesting. The point he made about India developing the nuclear bomb (shortly after getting access to nuclear energy) being the decline in new nuclear energy projects around the world. One potential energy source quashed because we have a tendency to want to blow ourselves up.  

 He may be intelligent, I don’t know enough to say, and his money has certainly made him influential, but one thing is for sure: he is a giant asshole. Same goes for all of them. 

 Money smart doesn’t mean everything smart. 

 Musk has gone out of his way to prove this. 

 Don’t sell him short by using the past tense, Evan. 

 Too true. 

 It's pretty difficult to achieve that level of success by being dumb. Many genius level devs don't perform well in interviews either 

 He may be skilled in particular areas, but on a variety of other things he speaks with authority when he clearly knows nothing about it. 

So maybe just humility is the word lol. 

Overall intelligence 

 The only thing him and a handful of billionaires from that era have in common was that they were in the right place at the right time.
