1) it's really weird. He's the richest man in the world, and he's spending his time by pretending to be good at video games? Humanly, it's just darkly fascinating.
2) an important part of his public persona is that he's supposed to be genuinely super smart and capable at everything. Many employees and other related figures have attested to him having preternatural abilities at rocket and car engineering.
If he is willing to make under the table payments and shamelessly pass off other people's work as his own for such an insignificant feat as being good at video games, what does that say about his involvement with actually important things? The parallel is very easy to draw.
- Centigonal 2y ago> Many employees and other related figures have attested to him having preternatural abilities at rocket and car engineering. Do you have examples of this? In the past, I've looked for accounts of people who've worked with Musk praising his technical (not product, not sales/marketing) skillset, and I have been unable to find any firsthand accounts. Such an account would somewhat change my assessment of Musk.
- dutchbookmaker 2y agoThe worst part is I don't even know video games at all but just assumed someone else was playing for him when I first heard this. All I know about video games is people play them 24/7. It was completely obvious to me he wasn't going to invest his time in something so stupid. The idea the world's richest man who is trying to amass political power could be this delusional is deeply disturbing.

I mean, one assumes that this is in the same sense that Kim Jong Un happens to be the world’s leading expert on whatever the factory he happens to be visiting does.
