he’s not dumb and certainly his IQ is above average but as I wrote somewhere before “I think that Musk has consistently made a dumb set of choices - largely stemming from a mix of four cognitive errors: (a) overestimating his own intelligence, (b) undervaluing the expertise of others, (c) relying too much on his own echo chamber, without the slightest effort to question what he is fed, and (d) underestimating how hard some of his errors will be to fix.”
