This video questioning the ‘genius’ of Elon Musk should be essential viewing for his adoring fans
We’re sure that it can’t have escaped your notice that there are just a few days to go before Donald Trump begins his second term in office, flanked by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world. Terrifying stuff. Two egomaniacal despots for the price of one.
For the millions of people who support Musk and his vision, one of their most repeated defences of him is that he is a tech genius, a man who made his vast wealth from nothing and can bring those skills to help Make America Great Again (again).
Which is why those fanboys and, far fewer in number we suspect, fangirls really should watch this brilliant takedown of Musks perceived ‘genius’ by American journalist Jessica Burbank.

It’s right on the money and also very entertaining too. Thanks to Joe G for recently sharing it again.
Elon Musk hates it when this video gets shared.

what Elon actually does all day is just tweet and be chronically online. he's good at assigning tasks to people and take credit for their success. its soooo obvious. https://t.co/4JNlpd7xI3

Musk loves his pop culture references. We can’t help wondering what he’d think of this one.
Musk wants to be that trillionaire in the movie Contact. That’s how massive his ego is and he’s just crazy enough to pull it off right up to the point where he has to live permanently on a plane to avoid the authorities. https://t.co/Q3hpRhcnQT
