Do you think Elon Musk is a genius?

[Anonymous]

Is he a genius or is his pr team trying to make him look like that?

What do you think of Elon Musk?

[SnowedIn]

Genius? I think there's some sort of technical definition on that and I don't know whether or not he meets the criteria. But in a sort of general sense? No. He has some really smart ideas and he's a smart man and he happened to be at the right place at the right time for some of his stuff. But he also has a brilliant team of engineers working for him making his stuff possible. He's a puppet master in a way.

And, if he has a PR/Strategic Communications team, then he's not listening to them and/or they're not doing him any favors. He acts like an egotistical child.

yes otherwise he would've gone bankrupt a long time ago.

a lot of people such as pro-athletes and rappers can get rich too but they end up going broke later on in life.

the people criticizing him would not have done a better job if they had his position.

I wouldn’t say he’s a genius necessarily. Space X and Tesla are certainly innovative companies but how much of that is due to Musk personally as opposed to the engineers he employs? I think he’s a guy with good business sense (with the possible exception of his puzzling purchase of Twitter) but I don’t know that his intellect is genius level.

I do often wonder just how many people he screwed over to get where he is. People rarely get where be is by doing the right thing.

Genius. No.

A genius without 'culture' or 'moral values' is worth nothing.

He's one smart guy - considering where he's from - but that does not make him a valuable person; not now, and not in history.

A true ''genius'' would come up with some brand new ideas, concepts or such. Warming up some yesterdays' soup is just 'self marketing'. Money-wise, it apparently works for him; but mostly because he mingles with the un-smart part of the world.

Lol genius? Have you heard him talk or seen his punchable face... He's street smart... He's a good businessman like father like son... He comes up with innovative ideas... he's futuristic... genius is what you call a scientist or someone who discover or invent something...

[jayhams]

He started a Space Exploration Technologies Corp. that out performed any other space program on earth as far as the amount of time it took him to be a able to launch rockets cheaper than anyone else. IQ isn't a good way to measure intelligence.

[jshm2]

Nope. He is a complete idiot. The sort who could rely on his rich family enough until he found the right team to help him make it.

[MCheetah]

No. I don't hate him like all the idiots on Twitter, but I think he's just a really good con man and acts "cool" and meme-worthy to inflate his own ego. Even before Twitter, no one has ever admitted to like working for him.

Like the video says, he's only good at two things, bragging that he is a genius on Twitter and trolling.

[Agape93]

He's smart but only in certain things.

[Anonymous]

genius in certain type of technology

[In_Trance]

He's a talking head

[Anonymous]

Yes, I'm guessing he has a very high IQ.
