    Yeah, no. He never could have been because there never was potential. I keep hearing this and talks about how smart he is and why would he use that for evil.

    No.

    The guy is a fucking idiot.

    He has a certain charisma, and he is a great scammer, that’s for sure, and he got lucky like hell multiple times, but please stop pretending that this guy who got fired from his own company for incompetence has any abilities or redeeming qualities. He doesn’t. In. A different universe, he simply would have failed at step one and nobody would have known his name.

    He is a dumb but lucky lying scam artist, nothing more. Any qualities that people think he has, are just other things he made up and claimed. He claims he’s the world best engineer yet literally every idea that comes from him directly is just too stoopid to even say out loud.

    The earlier Tesla’s aren’t his (no he did not found Tesla, that too is a lie) but the cyber truck is his idea and design and that should show the absolute insanity in his head.

      I never said he wasn’t an idiot. I know from personal experience he is cringe and an idiot. My comment relates to the path he had chosen, where he was focusing his energies and , more importantly, the investment dollars he was getting, and how he veered off that path.
