Turns out the rich and powerful of Silicon Valley aren't super smart and wise folks to be looked up to.
They're just regular people, a lot of them ignorant, that got lucky.
Enough with the pedestals.

This becomes immediately clear the first time you meet them. They're just a herd operating in a situation of high risk and uncertainty by following what the rest of the herd is doing. That's why, periodically, they all run off a cliff together like lemmings.
That sequence of events is basically the magic formula.
Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science.

Fact is that the myth of Elon Musk depends on him being a nerd with technical and scientific chops. Claiming to have degrees and to have been accepted into a PhD at Stanford is the foundation of that myth. It’s the height of fraud.
