The article is a decent example of what I'm labeling as the hyper-rational hermenutic in the domain of postmodern exegesis for the purpose of discussion. Postmodern exegesis in this form is a form of social narrative building facilitated by the internet. One of its hermenutics is hyper-rationalization especially the hyper-rationalization of great men beyond the realm of realism. This is facilitated by the narrative bias and is most embodied in the 4D-chess meta-narrative, but we also see it along with other interpretative mechanisms in QAnon and others. One should at least be familiar with this framing as it's one of the most powerful forms of inoculation against it. In a mental landscape that's more turbulent than in the past, it's natural to want to attribute a narrative to it. What's insidious about some of these narratives is that they are a trojan horse for ridiculous assumptions - like the one the author makes. ie: Musk's hyper-rationality is beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. It's not. 1. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trump-is-playing-4d-chess https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trump-is-playing-4d-chess
