"Is Musk really that intelligent?" I don't think so.

I saw Musk on the famous doobie-smokin' Joe Rogan episode. Musk was talking about something "techie" - I don't remember exactly what - and his explanation was at a high school dropout level of expertise, as if he had no understanding of the technical underpinnings of the subject.

Now of course a lot of people will say, "He was totally high dude, cut him some slack." Even if Musk was so high that he was on the edge of some kind of spiritual epiphany, he would still remember the mechanics of any technological advances he may have been involved with. Contrary to popular belief, cannabis does not erase your mind and turn you into a slobbering vegetable - but it does make doing math in your head an ordeal. Musk's whole stoned act was nothing but a cheap ploy to draw in more disciples (from that awesomely apathetic demographic) - and it worked. A big chunk of the stoner population is now convinced that "the richest man in the world" is going to save us from "the richest men in the world" - and build us a totally cool party pad on Mars, and feed us Brain Chips until we are as smart as he is!

Musk is a psy-op - just like Trump, Biden, Obama, Jobs, Gates, etc. A made (as in manufactured) man. His job is to grab us by the emotions and drag us into the appropriate corral.

My son agrees with you. I am not so sure.

In Musk I detect, I FEEL, I intuit, that he is yes a deeply flawed human being, but also one of great talent, and influence.

My hope, and yes prediction, is that he is what he says he is, trying to right the course of the Titanic before it hits that berg. My guess is that he NOW understands evil forces are attempting the takedown of 'western' civilization and he is adamantly opposed. He may be pondering whether good and evil are actually involved in a struggle? Trump has said God chose him, these people, the MAGA team, feel they are engaged in a struggle which goes beyond the secular world of power and money and nucs. Perhaps they are.

They will make plenty mistakes. But I would be cautious assuming same old.

I think you’re smoking the Drapes. Musk isn’t that bright sounds like you have both feet planted firmly in the air.

Come on seriously?

The Workshop in Antarctica needs more men like you. Don't worry there is a heated pool in this lost city. Just ignore the sign that says, This is not a pool.

Musk is controlled by our rays. It's something like Elmer Fudd on a windy day getting different hats.

Another blog, another chance for Lugh to show his ignorance.
