Too many famous people are hailed as something they are not, and everyone believes it. For example Elon Musk is hailed as a genius when he seems to be showing lately that he is the dumbest person alive.

He's not dumb. He is a troll who likes to control people, since he's used to a level of comfort and prestige that has allowed him to do that his entire life.

He is dumb, he bought Twitter for how much more than it's value, again?

His desire to troll and control is directly what enables his being s fucking idiot
