    I just don’t know how many times these billionaires have to prove that deep down they’re just dumb asses at heart until people get the message

      they surround themselves with sycophants thier whole lives, to avoid the uncomfortable possibility that someone says they are wrong.

      I mean, elon and zuck aren’t dummies, but unless (or perhaps even if) you’re a literal genius you need other people to constantly be checking your ideas. When you only have sycophants you’re gonna start churning out stupid ideas.

          I think he’s a piece of shit who’s become somewhat dumber because of the aforementioned yes men and that he doesn’t need to have any good plans anymore, and the ketamine doesn’t help, and also having low emotional intelligence makes him seem stupid at times. Not to mention the fact that he’s got all kinds of issues that he’ll never get psychological help for.

          But he got his undergrad in physics and went to grad school for econ (and I don’t think he paid people to do his work like the orange blob). He’s not a Tony stark genius like he’d like to imagine himself but as much as I hate him I don’t think he’s dumb.

            I don’t care what he got a degree in. He certainly isn’t smart enough to realize the damage he’s causing (especially politically) and as people call him out on it he just digs himself deeper into fascist ideas and blocks his ears with more k-holes.

            He’s too stupid to know or admit he’s wrong, and it’s partially because of the hug box he built for himself out of sycophants. This shit started long before he got to the point he’s at now.

            In other words, he’s a fucking idiot.

              I agree that he’s dumb as fuck in some ways, but that doesn’t mean it’s true across all axes of intelligence. Let’s not underestimate the enemy just because we hate them.
