Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his ā€œfanboysā€ who have attempted to use the billionaireā€™s IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.

    No.

    The whole point - which you seem to have missed - was that getting a ā€œgoodā€ score in some test can mean very little or nothing in real life.

    It just means that youā€™re good at that sort of mental exercise.

      No that meant that you could afford a 2-3-4 week long preparatory course!or were pursuing one of a few very specific fields of mathematics! And you putting good in quotation marks strongly insinuates that you have no idea what a 140 on an IQ test means, which makes it absolutely impossible for you to have received it since it would have been explained to you! And ppl do tend to remember the equivalent of winning the olimpics, you know?

      But I am sure that you received military training 40-50 years ago! Say, where and when did you receive it under whose preliminary command?

        Iā€™ve never taken any preparatory courses for anything and Iā€™m not really good with mathematics, so no and no again.

        And why I put the quotation marks around good is a reflection of my native language, we do that when one wishes to express their personal disbelief or doubt. I am well aware that the ~140 score is considered a good one by the designers of the test.

        I served in the late 90ā€™s and there have been several refresher courses but Iā€™m not at the liberty to discuss any specifics of service matters publicly. If you have done military service you know this.

          IQ tests went out of fashion mid 80-ties and they were only ever required in the very very top universities! There is no military academy in the world where you would have been asked for one!

          140 is not a good a score! 140 is fucking legendary!!! Which would have been again explained to you if you ever achieved that, which again you would remember since its the equivalent of winning an olympic! But you donā€™t have a singular fucking clue what a 140 means on an IQ testā€¦ How very curiousā€¦

          Ones military service starts at the end of their training, then you will be required to put your oaths down! Your bulshitting couldnā€™t even be chalked up as a semblance of protecting your anonymity! Graduation lists of military establishments are not public and even if they were there are 70-200-ish cadets in every year!

          And soldiers can and do talk constantly about their service (ps thats how you can spot valor stealers on the internet, ppl like you :))! They are not allowed to talk of restricted info and missions! If you were a career secret sevice agent, you would not talk about being a soldier on the internet!

          Another thing that makes absolutely no sense are the refresher courses and is a quite stupid attempt of weaseling out of the question! Most manuals were written in the 60-ties and have yet to be updated! And if you received new equipment you would not be sent back to uni! You would be taken to a field to practice with it!

          Now tell me! Does your minsicular penis feel larger for lying and pretending to be a big man on the internet?
