> His fans seem to think he is some kind of genius, but based on what he has said about COVID he doesn't really seem that smart, or at least not well informed at all.
We can make an argument about under reporting, over reporting and so on. I wouldn't call either conspiracy theory, clearly both is going on, the question is the relative numbers. I agree that under-reporting is probable higher.
If you listen to the totality of his comments on the Joe Rogan podcast it is quite reasonable. Yes, his is clearly more libertarian then most of the California but people who are totally over-reacting to a few tweets and are literally flipping out and writing comments of hate and insults about him are really the people making fools of them selves. Or comment that basically say all he does is just for greed, and the typical anti all rich people socialist rhetoric is not convincing to me.
As for me, I don't think he handled this COVID situation very well. And with the amount of Twitter follower he has, in this situation to tweet like that was guaranteed to cause a huge shit-storm.
I know he is a genius because he is the Chief Engineer on the most successful rocket company in the world. Those that call him a business man or a marking guy clearly have not payed attention to how SpaceX happened and what his role there is. Doesn't mean he is right on every issue.
We are quickly approaching the point where rationalizing Musk's words and actions becomes impossible. Maybe it's time to face the reality.
He seems to have no problem trading his science geeks following for QAnon crowd. Rather than grasping at increasingly thinner straws I wish him luck and hope it works for him.
The over-under reporting issue is kind of a nonsense discussion in my opinion. Maybe it wrong but doesn't really change what should be done either way.
