Apparently Americans are starting to realize the depravity of the conman they now have as their dictator.

It is also a particularly American disease to confuse wealth with intelligence and corporations with those who own them. In most of the world the conversation we are having would seem utterly preposterous, as again there is no evidence of Musk having *intellectual* achievements.

I don’t find IQ to be a valuable measure. I introduced the term to this conversation because it’s used by *you fans* as some sort of supposed proof of Musk’s intelligence—though none of you have any proof whatsoever of any IQ test the man’s ever taken.

[…]

As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher. And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo. There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ

The biographer points out very clearly that there’s nothing to like in this man, just a trail of devastation and fraud.

A cult of Musk centers mainly around his well documented family history of being huge fans of bringing Nazism back.

…for obvious reasons, Hitler’s IQ cannot be measured, it’s all over the back wall of a bunker in Germany. […] Hitler was, of course, an Anti-Semite and racist, but, that wasn’t really unique to him, now was it? There was a sizable percentage of the United States population at that time that saw Jews as non-white…. We continue to elect these people because it is exactly who we are. Many of us are just animated by racism, fear of the unknown, unresolved fears of death that manifest in a myriad of ways. Hitler didn’t game the system, it propped him up when he appeared.

Musk is not smart, he’s not good at work. But he does jump in front of ideas that Americans want to believe in, and he says exactly what they want to hear like an 1800s evangelical miracle snake-oilman.

Can’t walk… on Mars? Give the man billions and… it’s a miracle! He has landed by 2018.

Can’t take your hand off… the wheel? Give the man billions and… it’s a miracle! He has cars driving themselves coast-to-coast by 2017.

Can’t make government… efficient? Give the man billions and… it’s a miracle! Nazism by 2025.

Those are the real dates he promised, by the way. It’s like he promised the all-mighty Jesus would return in 2018. Whoops! Yet his flock only grew larger every year, despite none of his promises happening (instead just a lot of his followers killed).

Tesla Deaths Per Year

Usually, this gets called advance fee fraud, not least of all because Elon Musk is reported as “the most prolific liar in the history of American business”, and should have been judged harshly (presumably sent to jail after 2018 for obvious reasons).

However, clearly a lot of people like him because he represents what the most gullible racist, cruel, and depraved Americans want to believe; he soothes the great fear of being judged, simply by taking lots of money from them and telling them they are cured because he is unaccountable, so too they will be.
