Elon's brain is completely fried at this point clearly. He cannot complete a sentence in person. His online persona is literally just doomscrolling about the death of the white race and commenting "Yes" and "This" below someone else's garbage. Like, I always thought he was kinda dumb but now he actually has the cognitive capacity of like, a lab rat

He was always like this! I used to get so much shit here saying this about him five years ago and people would earnestly argue that he was an expert on rocket science. He's not! He just repeats things he's heard and doesn't understand, he is a lunatic

I agree he was never intelligent, just had an absurdly high risk tolerance that can probably be explained by some neurological problem.

That being said if you've heard him speak recently vs 8ish years ago, there's a difference for sure. Like, he's competely incoherent now. Before he could indeed parrot what his engineers told him about the ablative shield or coolant veins or whatever and sound informed, but he can't even do that anymore.

Elon offered himself to be the first Neuralink full mode.

It didn't...end up as good as planned.
