None of them are geniuses, it's just really hard to lose at capitalism when you have capital.
Its a human blind spot. A lot of people confuse wealth for intelligence. In lower socio-economic levels, succeeding involves a lot of intelligence. Its a fucking struggle. Lots of fish trying to eat each other and take what little resources we have. One fuck up and it's all over. So anyone that is succeeding is also someone that with enough intelligence to foresee pitfalls and avoid them or escape with their wealth.
Those values are used to evaluate the people at the top which are swimming in a whole different pond. The neopotism and safety nets built into the upper crust of society is not part of the calculation that a lot of people use to factor into how they see these people. They still apply the same dog eat dog mentality to the upper crust of society.

Nobody has done more to disprove the "Rich people are smarter than everyone else" idea.
Remember a decade ago when he was being lauded as our time's Einstein?
........ Hahahahahahaha
Yeah by his own PR team, mostly, but it was a pretty easy fascade to see through when you actually listened to the man speak. Still don't forgive Dan Harmon for letting him shit on R&M with the eLoN tUsK bullshit. Or Star Trek Discovery for that matter, which happened much later after he had already shown his true face to the world. I know Harmon got paid because he's talked about it, but I would really like to know how much he spent on getting a passing reference in the least popular ST show of all time.
A friend of mine has head canoned that the guy from Star Trek was joking about being from Elon Musk University and that it's the old "Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance" gag but in space.
I'm just gonna go with that because fuck it's the equivalent of listing Deepak Chopra as one of the greatest philosophers of the 21st century in your hard sci-fi setting.

I genuinely think he's had some sort of cognitive decline.
He went from being merely wealthy to the richest man in the world, and nearly everyone thinking he's a genius, to being hated by nearly everyone and losing money fast.
Think is, he never was a genius - actually quite far off from it
He is just a spoiled boy having luck with gambling the money he got

Literally had someone saying that earlier today. Something along the lines of "you don't become the richest person in the world without some competency." Just ignore the fact he started on third base...

Don't forget completely mismanaging Twitter, and turning it into even more of a cesspool.
that may have been entirely or mostly intentional, because it's now 100% a right-wing propaganda machine and it got Trump elected
Don't forget the lying. He always always lies to sell his shit, always has for decades now, and it works, people always lapped yo every dumb bullshit that came out of his mouth
He collected data on all Americans from multiple government agencies, successfully killed multiple investigations into several of his companies, and secured additional government contracts for those companies. Is that what we're calling nothing these days?

If all you have is intellectual dishonesty, you're finally out of ideas and cornered
