    “He got lucky” is another way to also say that, as terrible as he is at everything he does, including hiding it, the people who give him literally anything are always clamouring to prove just how stupid they can be by simping for him at every turn.

      That too.

      The guy is (well, was) charming, in his weird ways, and he really does have a quality to somehow convince people of all the lies he’s spouting.

      Beyond that, he also got incredibly lucky

        Was he ever? Really his only thing was being a nerd, and we thought he was at least vaguely cool for the whole fast electric vehicle thing, but it took barely any time for it to come out that actually he’s both bad at being a nerd and a huge liar about how involved he really was with Tesla. He’s been poison for soooo long now, I literally have no idea how anyone falls for it these days.

        It’s not skill, there are just that many people who are that stupid.
