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!
I’ve already said elsewhere in the thread that I’m not claiming that he’s some sort of 200 level IQ genius. I’m saying he’s not stupid.
