Topic	Do you think Elon Musk is smart/intelligent?

Unironically yes. Intelligence and extreme wealth are not correlated. If they were, we would see the ranks of the world's ultra-wealthy dominated by scientists, researchers, and academics, rather than autocrats, business magnates, and celebrities. I have no idea where this, "It takes brains to be rich" myth started, but it's literally never been true at any point in human history. Some of the world's richest men throughout history have been objectively dumb as fenceposts. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:979359136] in Do you thi...
