Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his āfanboysā who have attempted to use the billionaireās IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.
Most of thatās false though. He couldnāt build a good smart team, Wozniak could. He was very good at screwing others out of ownership in the company they helped build though. He was also very good at one thing, envisioning a computer in every home, and a computer in every pocket. That was his one true talent.
But he was not āsmartā. He died to cancer detected early enough to heal with modern medicine, but chose quack treatments instead. There really isnāt any such thing as general intelligence. Everyoneās got very specialized knowledge in some topic, and are idiots in everything else.
He was quite good at marketing. He wasnāt a technical guy and apparently wasnāt terribly good at driving technical people either. But he was great at selling whatever the tech people came up with.
some, like me, are idiots in everything
elseI doubt that.
