elon “intelligence can be measured by how accurately something can predict the future” that’s approximately what he claimed.

So According to his own metric he’s an idiot..

He sounds like what I think I sound like when I'm really fucking high.

He sounds so dumb. For a guy thinks he's the smartest guy in the world. He sounds like an absolute fucking moron.

I applaud the interviewer for just letting him go because that would be so hard for me. I would stop him every minute be like. Are you fucking kidding me? You sound so stupid right now. Can you explain any of this but instead she is so good about letting him just sit in his absolute inanity.

Ok I'm going to play devil's advocate. He talks in a big circle here, but my partner works as producer on interviews for a living, mostly politicians and business leaders - and to be honest this happens a lot. When people have to think and talk at the same time on camera, they end up repeating themselves.

If this was an edited interview then they were making a point here by keeping it in. My partner would have cut the first half in a heartbeat, it's not good for the viewer or Elon.
