Elon Musk is a dumb person's idea of a smart person.

@austinkocher

And a greedy person's idea of a successful person.

@austinkocher I still think he used to be smart. I suspect he's a Benjamin Button, somehow now getting younger over time. We'll know if his voice starts cracking like a teen.

@austinkocher
That's a lot simpler than thinking of him as an evil cartoonish villain plotting to take over the world.

@austinkocher so much this. See also Boris Johnson. And Trump. There's a pattern.
@austinkocher all the current reactionary heroes are
@austinkocher honestly I was just happy he was solving the tough problems that needed to be solved. Or at least putting money there. Not sure what he was doing over at SpaceX now that I think of it.
@austinkocher Elon Musk has spent his life and fortune buying other people's ideas to put his name on and then using propaganda to convince technoprogressive libertarians that he's a visionary genius because he came up with them
@austinkocher he's not stupid, but he's stupidly surrounded himself with sycophants.
@austinkocher he is a greedy, materialistic person’s idea of a genius.

@austinkocher Same way Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man.

No wonder they vibe so well.
