He really is/was smart about some things - marketing and self-promotion. He started with millions and ended up with hundreds of billions, all thanks to his marketing skills, and knowing how to be in the right place at the right time.
Being good at one thing doesn’t automatically mean he’s good at other things - like running a company, or being an engineer as he likes to imagine himself.
Honestly, it’s not that hard to make a truckload of money if you start off with a busload of money (in this analogy, the truck’s bigger). Capitalism is pretty much built to ensure that the rich will either stay rich or get richer unless they’re completely irresponsible with said riches.
And paying attention to trends isn’t a stroke of genius, either. As for marketing, the ‘fresh rebel tech magnate’ turned out to be just a shitposter without the proper context in which to “shine,” nothing more.
Sometimes I’m perplexed how someone can be so smart and immensely stupid at the same time.
Dude became one of (if not the most) richest person in the world and yet his attitude, behavior and speech are immensely stupid.
When has he ever been “so smart”?
Dude used his dads wealth to buy a founders role in a company.
