This demonstrates the level of intelligence among the American population at this time (low compared to Europe, even though there were some of the same people). We’re still recovering from this beginning

Somehow it seems that Instagram continues to grow its user base. They keep expanding into new markets. I hope their crash comes soon though because the services are pretty much garbage at this point.

Well I think you’re giving Musk a HUGE benefit of the doubt. Just because you admire the story someone tells about themselves doesn’t mean you shouldn’t investigate and question whether it’s actually truthful. One red flag is that people in this same post are saying Musk got accepted to Harvard, Stanford, and Penn (there’s also evidence that his degree from Penn is fake, he never graduated from Penn and may have never even gone there). So which is it? The root of all those conflicting stories is probably the fact that Musk has lied about his education multiple times across the years in many different news outlets. The second red flag is the “intelligent Nazi” argument.
Any society across history that has put significant state funds into science and mathematics has seen a number of individuals with an aptitude for science and mathematics emerge from that society. so the fact that there were Nazis capable in physics is a result of investments made before Nazis were even a political entity. Hungary is a good example of this also. Look up Count István Széchenyi. These societies were smart way before they became so arrogant and full of themselves that they believed they were a “superior race” and could win a global conflict based on their “races innate traits” alone. They weren’t very smart because they were behind both the Americans and Soviets in arms and technological development. The Americans then had the choice, allow enemy scientists to fall into communist hands and be killed - or, worse, joining to help the Soviet arms industry - or hire themselves themselves. The national socialists in Germany and Hungary were actually so ignorant that they lost a major conflict, and then were ruled by foreign powers for 1.5-2 generations. They weren’t smart.
I hate Nazis. I don’t hate Musk. I just think he’s a liar who’s full of shit, and it’s more obvious by the day.

So if he was admitted to Stanford and dropped out why does he claim degrees from other institutions? And why are those other claims lies?

This is nothing but a tech billionaire delusional story sold by the ethos of Silicon Valley and the opportunities presented by the early internet. You didn’t need exceptional talent, you merely needed the money and social capital and to literally be physically there. Musk was able to do this with the support of his mom

He was not. He would not be smart enough to achieve this. There is good reason to believe that he doesn't even have a physics degree.

I’m a software engineer now and I know for a fact that early internet startups required literally only basic talents in order to succeed. Elon isn’t Bezos who was actually intelligent and insightful, nor is he Gates who was actually in a high level program. He’s a fraudster who got lucky at owning shares in PayPal (after he was fired and it blew up he cashed in)

The point is this supposed tech genius is a complete fraud.

Not true. SpaceX was an existing technology and idea that needed investment, he simply bought into it with money he got from owning shares of PayPal after he was fired and after it blew up. Tesla was much more than “three guys with an idea,” you should actually look into the details. Musk joined Tesla after its founders had already been producing prototype, functional automobiles with their lithium ion battery tech. The actual founders of Tesla had built and sold a successful consumer electronics company that used its lithium battery tech to create a version of an e-reader. Musk bought in and was so toxic that the founders quit or were fired because of his massive ego and PayPal money. Musk owns no patents in Tesla except for additions to the doors and recharging plug(Musk patented a recharging plug to PREVENT other electric vehicle makers from using Tesla chargers). He’s actually a foolish man with very limited talent and no creativity. He is NOT responsible for Transformers nor LLM technological advancements.

He literally knows nothing about these things. He’s not an engineer, does not have a PhD, and has done very little actual work during his career. Change my mind

It would be great to live in a city where we could leave things unattended and NOT have them stolen. However, sadly, that’s not the case. In DC there’s such massive inequality that if you have something nice you need to keep it very close to yourself and not leave it in public. I have a nice bike and a nice car and I’ll never leave them outdoors in this town.

Unfortunately roads in DC aren’t safe until cars are blocked and the road is closed. The drivers here have a serious issue and I believe the only solution is to stop them from entering certain areas with a vehicle.

I’m pissed too about this but it makes sense. If they were to enforce with all their strength the impact on Blacks would inadvertently be higher, and thus crime would just increase as more people would have criminal records, resort to theft for money, and be unable to get meaningful employment due to having a criminal record due to stealing/criming for money. The prison to prison cycle is real. Also we’d all be more broke and we’d be getting robbed even more! Paying to imprison someone is fucking expensive
