It took him this long to finally understand that?

Despite his claims to the contrary, Elon Musk is not a smart man.

Honestly i question what he really knows/understands.

He has a undergraduate degree in physics. But nothing in computer science and majority of his companys are mostly computer science. I feel like he just has a fasod that hes "smart" but pays other people to tell him stuff and he just relays that as if it were him that knew this information. Very similar to path of exile de-bockel

Just like Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man, Elon is a stupid persons idea of a smart man. He's not a complete moron like Trump, but he's no Stephen Hawking either.

Does he have a real degree in physics? I thought it was honorary or something.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

Think that mask dropped a while ago. He used to have a PR/management team that would stop the stupid shit he'd say from becoming public or affecting the actual businesses. He fired them around the Twitter takeover iirc and that's when we've all been able to easily see how stupid and bigoted he actually is.
