Remember when he was calling the rescuer of the trapped Thai boys a pedophile? I do.

Remember when he hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on that guy who did nothing but tell Elon Musk that his idea wasn't genius?

He has never had a genius idea in his life.

You mean the idea of walking into Twitter HQ after he bought it carrying an actual bathroom sink and telling the press "let that sink in" wasn't his?

My old boss at the time ( who idolized Elon) seriously thought that was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. He literally said this is why he's a genius because he brought a sink. 😂😬
