Beware of calling someone a genius, especially in the current technology space and especially in the current capital markets. For reference, here are other notable "geniuses":
- Adam Neumann
- Elizabeth Holmes
In fact for Holmes you were viciously attacked by social media and mainstream journalism if you voiced even a hint of skepticism. I don't think people realize how easily the Elon Musk narrative can collapse and he ends up - at best - persona non grata.
- xiphias2 7y agoIf you look closely at Adam Neumann and Elon Musk, you can see that they are very different people. What do you think is better for ,,elevating human conciousness'': leasing and renting out high-end office spaces or finding and funding the best neuro scientists to productionize and monatize the brain-human interface that they were working on (and were lacking real funding)? It's too bad that Elisabeth was that good at manipulating and getting so much power so fast, because she was a great engineer. Still, I don't consider her a genius as what Elon is.
