If Elon had been dumb he would’ve simply stayed rich. He might not be intelligent, but he’s smart. He knows he doesn’t understand rocket science, programming, car manufacturing… so he steals ideas from other people and takes the credit for them (see PayPal and Tesla) while simultaneously sounding like he’s very knowledgable about all these things to the average Joe. This is what allowed him to become the richest man on Earth: playing really dirty.
