I understand why he is unpopular with many people and to be frank I have quite the distaste for all billionaires, but he is not stupid which is something that is often claimed.

No-one becomes a multi-billionaire due to a lack of intelligence or common sense.

Musk knows exactly what he is doing, he didn’t buy Twitter to make a quick buck, he bought it derail it and he’s done that quite thoroughly. $35bn to Musk is pocket change.

I mean I get it, if I was a big Twitter user and a new CEO made it something that I now hated, I’d think the bloke was an idiot, but that is actually just a difference of opinion and has nothing to do with intelligence.

In short, whilst Musk is clearly very unpopular with some people and I can understand why, the man clearly is not an idiot. Some people really don’t like it when you tell them that.

Edit: 14 downvotes in 30 minutes lol, I can’t say I wasn’t expecting this but judging by the replies so far, I think it just proves that it’s an unpopular opinion!

    Once again this is an opinion and you’re fully entitled to that. But I think what you really mean is “I think he’s stupid for what he’s trying to be”.

      Everyone except you thinks he’s stupid for what he’s trying to be.

        I think a lot of people hate Musk (understandably) so they call him stupid to make themselves feel better with disregard to the meaning of the word.
