/tech/ - Technology

He read Capital as a teenager, once or twice at least.

He seems stupid when it comes to technical things, but he seems to have good business strategy. It's smart to integrate yourself so thoroughly with the richest government/military in the world and leech off of them, provide them services, etc. It's smart to buy the president and immediately leverage that into a massive data haul. Plus he's good at securing funding and knows what investors like (e.g. massive personnel cuts). He's also great at remaking history to make himself seem like he is the cause of success, rather than just another investor.

He's still a retard overall though. He has no clue about the technologies he sells, and his skills are not useful to society.

Before or after he fried his brain with ketamine?

he is smart in the "getting people to do things" way. His actual products aren't really successful.

Starlink is overpriced and slow, he purchased twitter at way over market price just due to the huge userbase, but i guess that is paying off with his govt influence now, Tesla is beaten by Chinese manufacturers in terms of products now, his Solar business and stuff like Tesla Semi and Cybertruck were outright unviable, the tunnel boring thing went nowhere, and SpaceX isn't any cheaper than other launch services.

Retarded uyghur with no merit who never did anything by himself in life. Should do us all the favor of dying in a fire.

He's an entrepreneur, it's a real job that requires real skills, but claiming he has superhuman intelligence and work ethic is a cope to distract from the fact entrepreneurship also has capital as a prerequisite and thus despite all claims about "equality of opportunity" with capitalism, most people by definition cannot be entrepreneurs no matter how smart or hardworking they are.

>Is Elon actually good at math and physics?
nope, pretty much only way spacex gets anything done is babysitting him so he doesn't intervene on the details.
>How good is he in economics?
Depends how many people he can find that both have money and are bad at economics. That pool is running dry.
>I keep seeing people saying he was an A-grader in school and uni.
He want to a degree farm, also grade school does fuck all to prep people for being an adult, let alone any of the things he claims to be good at.

He picked up engineering from his boogie abusive father. He did a Reddit AMA before and engineers were not very impressed. He understands engineering correctly but he doesn't display any advanced knowledge in it.

whether he's doing it intentionally or not, Elon is the richest person in the world because he's good at playing into the stage of capital in the west where literally everything is either financialized or follows finance capital black magic logic. he's good at hyping himself up and selling people an image of the future, not at following through on any of it, so he has con artistry intelligence.

I think he's very stupid. When your the richest person in the world you can fail an infinite number of times at things until it works, no matter your skill.
If he was smart he wouldn't have done a nazi salute on tv.

His only skill is leeching from the state at the right time

> Obama shuts down NASA
> Green subsidies just starting
> Cities want to build public transit
< Elon appears to siphon government money

He's a savant who is good at making big numbers get bigger

Dumb af.
Everything they write about him is a puff piece.

He's low autism score and uses capitalism to steal the identity of intelligent people.

I used to think he was smart but if you actually lislen to him speak for any extended period of time you realise hes dumber than a bag of rocks. he gets fixated on words that he thinks makes him smart, like saying 'triage' multiple times in interviews. for decades the media gave him a pass unfortunately they're still fixated on him being racist than a complete and utter con artist. if his father hadn't practised apartheid in the 80s he would literally be that wierdo incel guy at work that nobody likes and drops unsolicited opinions on bad video games and cringe reddit movies
