What exactly did he con people about? Be specific and explain how that contributed to him being the richest person in the world.
I agree, he has been very successful in business, has he not? It is not like he is pulling a pyramid scheme.
Follow me as I think about this one.
I very strongly question Musk putting people on Mars as a second home philosophy in case we destroy this one
as just plain goofy, not brilliant as he thinks.
What is easier, using science to correct our earthly mistakes or teraforming another planet so we can fuck that one up?
The net says his IQ is 150 which is extraordinary but that is not based on science just accomplishments which can be misleading.
For example, Trumps IQ is ranked high because he graduated from Wharton, an Ivy league business college , but if his daddy got him in he degree was bought.
Seth Abramson is writting a biography on Musk asserts that, based on his research, "I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110" and "There's zero evidence in his biography of anything higher."
Personally, I agree with Seth. Based on what I have seen Musk say and do, especially with his support of Trump who he now has turned on, is the mark of a man who does not have insight . I have never heard Musk say anything smart just like I have never heard Trump say anything smart. They say they are smart.
He claims he was coding and selling games as a child but that could be total BS
He has not created the brilliance of space flight, electric cars etc the people he hired has.
He runs a mega corporation which you would think must be complex but, so does Trump who is a fool, so did another fool called Harold Ballard.
IMHO, businessmen are like politicians - some are very bright and educated but that is not a prequesite as some are just plain
fucking stupid like Duck Donald
Meglomania is common in businessmen with power, you see it all the time.
