Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his āfanboysā who have attempted to use the billionaireās IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.
The thing is they might be passable as random folks. The problem is their power and aspirations far exceed random folks, and so, compared to what youād want to see in those positions, they are very dumb, but exude so much confidence that people have a tendency to assume that confidence must be somehow justified.
I work a dangerous job. When I see super confident people I refuse to work with them (edit: I am super skeptical, there are folks who know what they are doing but I wouldnāt call that exuding confidence). I have learned over the years that confidence is fake as fuck, and usually correlates with incompetence and ignorance (when you donāt know what the heck you are doing you can be unaware of the risk involved)ā¦
There are people who know what they know and know what they donāt know, but it doesnāt come across in the same way as someone who exudes confidence.
I despise confidence lolā¦
