A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hardly. There are plenty of people who are as smart or smarter than Elon Musk who haven't struck it big. Given his net worth there are huge numbers of people like that who haven't struck it big.
I'm just pointing out that accomplishing what he's accomplished probably means he isn't dumb. Not in certain fields of expertise, at any rate. I'm only arguing that the "ha ha, he's a moron!" reactions here are not particularly plausible.
Thank god someone is here to stand up for the richest asshole on earth.
Musk is an asshole. I'm standing up for accuracy.
