    The media rage-baiting over every single stupid shit he utters is “engaging.” The man thrives on it.

        Does he really have a few more brain cells? I haven’t seen anything that shows he’s been successful for any other reason than he started out rich and some right place right time situations.

          I get the feeling that his engineering background, slight as it may be, helped him to hire competent people to run Tesla and SpaceX, and made it possible for those people to convince him not to insist on doing really stupid things.

          Since he knows absolutely nothing about social media websites, not even enough to know what he doesn’t know, it’s impossible to stop him from carrying out whatever nonsensical plans happen to come to mind.
