This is the Emperors New Clothes [0] all over again, no-one wants to say straight up that based on what they've observed that Elon's a complete moron, so it's always got to be some kind of 'genius' that the rest of us can't see.

I mean it doesn’t have to be genius or complete moron, it’s most likely neither.

But if it has to be one of the two extremes and I start with 50/50 odds, what would I lean towards with the limited information I have as an outside observer? This is a rhetorical question but I think it gives a hint of how this whole topic has become such a shit show.
