He's a genius and and an asshole as well


Maybe that's true of all geniuses. I don't know any, but Steve Jobs and T.A. Edison, maybe Oppenheimer, come to mind. Now I'm wondering about Einstein.

And the world is better for it - more genius assholes, please.

But seriously, as far as assholes go, Elon is pretty far down the scale. In the vast majority of videos where he's interacting with people he's humorous, quaint, and polite. He has a stringent attitude when it comes to performance in his companies, but that's the name of the game when you're trying to accomplish great things.

Nice people get squished in the real world.

Oh crap, I forgot to say spoiler alert.

That's better than being just an asshole who insults people 24/7... 🤔

Like Vader said above

How do you know he's an asshole?

How is he a genius?

I don't think he's an asshole. He seems like a pretty decent guy. He doesn't take any BS from people, but I'm okay with that.

I don't give a shit if he's an asshole. If what he does improves the quality of people's lives, that's what matters. I don't have to live with him. Same goes for Trump. I'll take mean tweets any time if they come with lower prices and a controlled border.
