well the most charitable thing I can call him is a businessman.
that's... extremely charitable of you.
Someone should go create a photoshoped Spirit Halloween costume "Welfare Queen"... with musk on the cover and a giant "starship" codpiece. (and by giant, I mean, like the size of a peanut.)
Its like a contrast as to what people value and consider smart these days.
Just to elaborate a little further
Einstein:
-Wildy popular in his time
-Lauded as the most brilliant minds of the 20th century
-Fled to america as a result of a fascist take over
-Made ground breaking contributions in his field of expertise
-Relatively apolitical figure
-Possessed no dillusions of grandeur
Musk:
-Wildly popular
-Lauded as one of the most brilliant people alive
-Raised in apathied Africa and migrated to America to pursue his financial goals
-Has contributed very little personally in his field of expertise
-Extremely poltical
-A relentless douche bag on social media
Musk is more like Andrew Carnegie. Both the richest people of their times, and both spent a lot of money to do PR. Musk's PR is to pretend he's not an idiot, and Carnegie's PR was to pretend he wasn't pure evil.
[musk] -Has contributed very little personally in his field of expertise
What field of expertise? All he does is spend his daddy's emerald mine money on companies and then lie about what the companies are gonna accomplish. With the exception of nutting into mistresses, he's basically a subpar 14 year old trapped in the body of a divorced high school history teacher, but riddled with drug addictions. Money is the only thing keeping him out of prison and off the streets. He has lucked his way into everything he has, and there is absolutely nothing to admire about the "man". There isn't a single goddamn thing that I would trust him as an "expert" to handle for me.
He is a pile of money. Nothing more, nothing less.
You know there were plenty of American Nazis in Einstein’s time, right?
You also know that musk is not, has never been, universally lauded as anything but a raging narcissist.
In fact, quite unlike Einstein, everybody who was an engineer or whatever and worked with him all hated his guts and have been saying this entire time that he’s 1) stupid and 2) awful.
The only people saying that Musk was anything but stupid were either his PR team, or the dupes that bought their hype.
It's not like in the past there were only Einsteins. While our current idiocracy has some fundamentally new aspects, idiocracy itself has always been around.
