Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his “fanboys” who have attempted to use the billionaire’s IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday.

    You’re really underestimating the contributions of people like the COO (Shotwell, who by all accounts, really reigns Musk in) and the actual engineering talent at SpaceX. Musk is hardly the first to come up with some of the aerospace ideas, but SpaceX is the first to push through the failure to success through a rapid prototype model.

      lmao I am underestimating no one. Guys… touch some grass.

      Musks’s technical knowledge is probably pretty mid. Musk sure as hell isn’t designing the rockets.

      Acknowledging that Musk isn’t an idiot in no way devalues the work of the many, many intelligent people around him. Why you’d think that I’m taking anything away from anyone else is baffling. Literally baffling. How did you come to that conclusion?
