Can we shatter this bullshit about tech bros who struck it lucky with some early dotcom investment being geniuses?

I’m fucking tired of hearing about how these barely functional assholes who chanced into luck once are geniuses or in any way genuinely earned their wealth. They’re all fuck heads that spend most of their time trying to justify why they’re entitled to their lavish lifestyles…

In fact, can we just stop using the term genius? Some people are pretty good at some shit, but the elitism associated with that term is fucking toxic.

Only a Batchelor degree and college drop out. Genius seems to be a broad term nowadays.

HK65 ,

Not even a STEM BSc IIRC.

You support me = genius. You don’t support me = asshole, woke, liberal, loser, commie, ect. Ass kissers at their best.

It goes beyond that and is largely related to the same anti-intellectual propaganda we have had shoved down our throats for decades (basically since reagan).

Think back to basically every single movie/tv show with a “smart” character. Invariably, they are “cool” and have anti-authority tendencies. And, invariably, there is a character who is a conventional nerd who is actually an idiot compared to this cool kid with an ice rink in their basement because they pronounced a word wrong or got a single question wrong.

And what has that done? It has raised generations of people to value “genius” over “smart” where someone who is quirky and weird is WAY more intelligent than the person who actually just sits down and reads things. THOSE people are losers.

And what does a balding techbro with hairplugs who has driven double digit companies into the ground have? That’s right, he thinks he is a living meme and thus must be a genius.

Genius = born into wealth

These pricks were both born on third base and think they hit a triple.

Elon inherited apartheid wealth and then got lucky in addition to that. He would have a fine life without his “investment genius” or how they call it.

dan1101 ,

I would even say he had a good run of picking good ideas and making them work. But I think he’s too rich and crazy and out of touch now, he has lost his drive.

Having OTHER Billionaires in your Cabinet is EXACTLY how you Drain The Swamp and DEFEAT the Deep State!

“We don’t want the ruling elite telling us what to do just to enrich themselves! We want billionaires to run the government!”

I don’t have many braincells more than a typical Magoo but my God are they killing what I had left…

If Trump wins, Musk will effectively have purchased a seat in the federal government. How democratic.

Delusional ,

Just like trump’s last cabinet where he appointed people who donated large amounts of money to him.

Exactly, Trump probably thinks… “They keep telling I need more African Americans in my employ… I know! Elon is African American!”

He’s shaping up to form a truly unique cabinet…

  • Mike Lindell - Secretary of Shouting
  • Roger Stone - Secretary of Crime
  • Stephen Miller - Secretary of Child Snatching
  • Donald Trump Jr - Secretary of Self-Loathing

Yup. As in: Eric is the king of the vacant-looking wet fish.

Ah yes, Elon Musk who overpaid for Twitter by billions of dollars and then shrunk yearly revenue from 5 billion to under 500 million in just a couple years. The company also lost 70% of its total value. That takes a special kind of genius.

Dorkyd68 ,

If musk is a genius then I have a 10 inch dick

See I can make stuff up too

Reminds me of a joke.

Guy walks into a bar and sits at the counter. He pulls out a little piano from one pocket and sets it down, from another pocket he produces a little man in a tuxedo who he sits at the piano and he starts playing a jaunty little tune.

Bartender looks over and is like “Whoa! Where’d you get that?” Guy at the bar says “Well the other day I was cleaning up this old attic for a client and I accidentally knocked over an old oil lamp and, wouldn’t you know it, a real live genie appeared and offered to grant me a single wish. Unfortunately, the genie seems to have been hard of hearing so now I have a 10 inch pianist.”

CobblerScholar ,

Very telling that the Trump thinks Elon is anything approaching intelligent

“Drain the Swamp”. And then putting a Billionaire and brainworm Kennedy in the cabinet. How retarded are Republicans?

Great Scott I’m happy to not be an American, I don’t know how citizens will survive another term by this stupid idiot.
