  • But far from universally so. He’s going to go down in history as yet another dumbass nazis. that’s his legacy.

    Is that really apt though? By your own admission eistein wasn’t universally lauded as a genius.

    He also faced a shitload of antisemitism, with many critics calling him a fraud and a plagiarist, questioning the validity of his work simply because he was a jew.

    I didnt mean to offend you by making the comparison. I honestly just want to evoke the very responses that you gave. MUSK is no Einstein and for the people who treat him as such because he is “the richest man in the world” should be taken down a notch.

    Anyway, thank you for engaging with me in good faith. I really appreciate that.



  • You know there were plenty of American Nazis in Einstein’s time, right?

    Is there a larger point I’m missing?

    You also know that musk is not, has never been, universally lauded as anything but a raging narcissist.

    Seems like wishful thinking or at least gaslighting.

    In fact, quite unlike Einstein, everybody who was an engineer or whatever and worked with him all hated his guts and have been saying this entire time that he’s 1) stupid and 2) awful.

    I dont see how conflicts with what I’m saying.

    The only people saying that Musk was anything but stupid were either his PR team, or the dupes that bought their hype.

    PR teams and dupes have been destroying the country with their backwards thinking.



  • Its like a contrast as to what people value and consider smart these days.

    Just to elaborate a little further

    Einstein:

    -Wildy popular in his time

    -Lauded as the most brilliant minds of the 20th century

    -Fled to america as a result of a fascist take over

    -Made ground breaking contributions in his field of expertise

    -Relatively apolitical figure

    -Possessed no dillusions of grandeur

    Musk:

    -Wildly popular

    -Lauded as one of the most brilliant people alive

    -Raised in apathied Africa and migrated to America to pursue his financial goals

    -Has contributed very little personally in his field of expertise

    -Extremely poltical

    -A relentless douche bag on social media
