This is a brilliant read by

“From Elon Musk to Elizabeth Holmes and Donald Trump, many very rich people are effective at convincing us of a myth: they're secretly a genius, and you're just too dumb to understand. Are they right?”
Now Elon has tanked Tesla stock to just above $100 and alienated much of his core Twitter user base, it��s clear that the emperor has no clothes. How could this happen? Billionaire meritocracy is a lie, tied to what I call the Myth of the “Secret Genius.”
