Elon Musk, like Albert Einstein, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Steven Gould, and Richard Dawkins, is a fake intellectual. There are many men whose aphorisms and utterances I have observed to contain sparks of brilliance, insight, and wisdom. Umberto Eco. Thomas Aquinas. Jerry Pournelle. Martin van Creveld. William S. Lind. Christopher Hallpike. John C. Wright. Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Nicholas Machiavelli. GK Chesterton. JRR Tolkien. Above all, Aristotle.
Elon Musk is not, and has never been, one of them.
This is not to say that I am opposed to what Elon Musk, or Elon Mask, as the case may be, is achieving with DOGE. I’m all for it. Long may the act continue. But it is an act, nothing more.
That’s the trouble with propping up midwits and pretending that they possess brilliant minds. Those who know what the real thing is can always see right through it.
That being said, give credit where credit is due. Even a midwit is capable of seeing through the Patriot FBI Front.
