      Almost no one in your bubble/perception unfortunately. There are still lots of people that are only aware of him being a POS but still think he’s a genius.

        He’s clearly smart. That’s because he has a lot of money. Only smart people have money and the more money you have the more smarter you get.

      He tried really hard to be called the “real life Tony Stark” and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart

        If he didn’t have an unfiltered public forum, people would probably still think that he is some eccentric genius.

    I guess I don’t have to believe in gasses or vacuums. I can’t see them. They’re not real.

    I also can’t see billionaires money. I guess they’re actually just broke bitches. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Like when he said that the CyberTruck beat a Porche Porsche 911 in a quarter mile whilst towing a Porche Porsche 911, but Engineering Explained did the math and called BS. Then backed up the math by actually doing the quarter mile to prove it.

        I read that a few times…is he saying Porsches break down a lot so ya the truck would win. But then I noticed the spellings. So ya a cyber truck would beat a Porche, they’re cheap knock offs of Porsches

          The entire gimmick was “cybertruck is faster loaded with an entire car and towing it, than the car itself”. They didn’t mention they didn’t go for the entire 1/4 mile. They didn’t mention they cherrypicked the slowest Porsche there is. They didn’t mention they lightened the trailer etc. It was 100% made in their favour, yet they still lost.

    This is actually good advice in some regards. Go out and prove that what you have been told is true. Don’t rely entirely on others to understand the world around you, rely on yourself and think critically about what you believe.

    Of course, Conservatives like Musk and his followers are incapable of this. They will watch TV and browse social media and believe everything they are told if it suits them. They’ll then insist they “did their own research”, which really just translates to finding an echo chamber to seek validating from others on what they already believe.

      The better approach is to go out and try to disapprove the things you believe. That’s how science works, and that’s what will get you to the truth.
