I was sent this article yesterday.

This reminded me of this gem from a few years ago :

He talked about electric cars. I don’t know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don’t know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard anyone say, so when people say he’s a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

(I’m around Elon Musk’s age and was also studied physics. Unlike him, I actually was in graduate school studying theoretical Condensed Matter of fluids away from equilibrium (turbulence), known colloquially as “Rocket Science.” Working in the internet as a developer so early, I ended up with a number of acquaintances who were part of that “PayPal Mafia.”)

All I have to say is, “Welcome to the party, gamers.” 😀
