Elon has unfortunately become a classic example of smart person in some domains believing they are smart in all domains. HN, I implore you, never trust a genius in one domain to weigh in an adjacent domain, let alone an entirely different one. Brain power is great but domain specific expertise is greater.
- Tiktaalik 6y agoYeah for example, Elon has done a lot of great stuff with Space X for example, but the shit he says about boring company and public transit, it's so wildly out of touch with reality, wrong and stupid, it's an embarrassment.
- stephen_g 6y agoYeah, not to mention hyperloop. I’m amazed there are still quite a few people taking that seriously...
- goatinaboat 6y agoa classic example of smart person in some domains believing they are smart in all domains That describes every user on this website...
- tigershark 6y agoFor example two domains as different as rocket science and electric cars do you mean?
