He really thinks he’s a genius. That’s an important difference between him and Trump: Trump knows he’s full of shit, and blusters and dodges responsibility pre-emptively as a result. Musk somehow really believes he’s a super genius and anything that goes wrong is someone else’s fault.
Small correction, I’ve read several biographies of people close to trump, including his nephew, and trump legitimately believes he’s one of the smartest people on the planet. Especially when it comes to business. His narcissism is well earned here.
He thinks elom knows more about computers, but the reason he refuses to listen to even a slightly less idiotic billionaire about the Tariffs, is because he believes he knows more than Elon about trade. He thinks he knows more about trade than economists who spends their lives doing this.
He’s never had to deal with trade. His business is real estate, that’s service based. Trade is a whole different system he’s never been involved in. He hates trade. Even though he’s benefited immensely from it.
On paper though, he’s a real estate tycoon (at least his father was one, Don’s just trying to make his abusive dead father proud of him from beyond the grave).
That’s all he has any, on paper, practical experience doing.
His money laundering is more one of those hobbies that’s turned out to be his real passion. Like Bankrupting casinos.
His current handling of the largest government, economy, and military in human history; is pulling deep from those two hobbies.
You’ve never been around someone with narcissistic personality disorder, at least not on Trump’s level. My mother was like him in that she was never wrong, never made a mistake.
I was in my 40s when I finally realized she had never once apologized for anything, never once admitted even the smallest mistake or fault. Most people think they know someone like that but I’m telling you, you likely do not. Even the worst assholes have some niggling doubts deep in their skull. Trump does not.
Try to get your head around knowing a person for 40+ years and never having heard them concede, fucked us kids up in different ways. I’m always looking at how I might be wrong, apologizing and quick to take blame. You could tell my wet-hen sister the sun is going to rise in the east, “Well… I don’t know…” My other sister was willful and right about everything, but she could back down presented with evidence.
He must be masochistic to do that on purpose.

His narcissism requires acknowledgement from specific communities. Gamers are one of them.
The things said on that chat will stick with him for a while.
That’s one of the traits of narcissism. A need for admiration.

Yeah except his real business is money laundering for Russian Oligarchs. Thats the only thing that kept him afloat for the past 30 years.
Absolutely true.

Very. Stable. Jenius.
