I seriously doubt his engineering abilities, but I'll ignore that.

One thing he's demonstrated from the beginning is a stark undersupply of emotional intelligence. There are noises that come out of his mouth that my 15yr old would roll her eyes at for being too self-centered and immature.




There's a fine line between lack of emotional intelligence and simply not caring to placate others.

The two are not the same.

It is like calling someone an idiot because they won't do what you want and ignoring what they want.

You have to admit that it may not be a priority for Elon to maintain his reputation with you in your 15 year old


There is a fine line, and he is clearly on the side of low emotional intelligence to anyone who does not also have low emotional intelligence


Based on what exactly? Are you sure you aren't confusing EQ with agreeableness, they are orthogonal. Hitler had extremely high EQ, but low agreeability


The fact that you have any doubt about this says a lot about your own intelligence.

I'm not interested in chatting with the Weird Nerd defending Elon Musk from Valid Criticism.
