Whatever point this article is trying to make is just completely overshadowed by the dripping vitriol. Musk has a "head full of room temperature butterscotch"? Come on. It's hard to take any of the rest seriously once you read a sentence like that.

By your own standards who should take Elon seriously?

Are you really this stupid? Elon's not a journalist, dude. He's a tech CEO who founded SpaceX.

Are you implying that's a reason to take him seriously? Or is that an excuse for lying routinely, including on topics for which it's an SEC regulations violation for someone who is a CEO? What the heck do you mean?

Yes, absolutely. Is this really so hard to understand? The guy literally founded SpaceX. Of course I'm going to take him seriously. At least a lot more seriously than some no name journalist who proclaims that the founder of SpaceX is dumber than a bag of bricks.

I agree the article is kind of silly.

Mediocre journo with a degree in theatre from NY State says they guy who built the world's most successful rocket and ev companies is dumb and didn't understand what he was doing.
