President-elect Donald Trump's opposition to what was considered must-pass legislation reinjected a sense of chaos and political brinkmanship that was reminiscent of his first term in office.
Norquist has been enthusiastic about Musk’s ability to generate public attention for efforts to reduce the size of government. But he suggested that the owner of a space rocket company wasn’t the right person to spearhead a congressional spending debate.
“He doesn’t know politics like he knows physics,” he said.
Hey dude. He doesn’t fucking know physics either. Not any more than a 12 year old who’s played KSP for a couple days. He’s a pseudointellectual.
Elon Musk actually has a bachelor’s in physics. Dunno when he got it, but he does know more than your average person. He’s still a huge mega douche canoe sock monkey tho.
Was it given to him as a ‘you’re such a wealthy good boy oligarch’ gift by some dipshit dean? Or did he genuinely earn it?
I’m actually asking. I have no idea.
I ain’t a gambling man, but I know where I’d place my bets.
Edit:
I looked it up. Snopes says true, but man, is there a fuck ton of inconsistencies and a large donation to penn state.
Headcanon is he sucked dick for it.
“Elon Musk earned a B.A. in physics and a B.S. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. The degrees were awarded on May 19, 1997.” -Penn, 2019
I don’t know much about higher education, but Bachelor of Arts in physics sounds like BS to me.
A BA is just the rank below master’s degree. It has nothing to do with art or science. The college degree hierarchy goes BA, Masters, PhD for most fields of study.
It’s a Bachelor of Arts, I don’t see how that detracts in anyway from him having a physics degree. I dislike Elon Musk just as much as the next guy, but there’s no reason to shit on him for not having a bachelor of science in physics.
University of Pennsylvania isn’t the same as Penn State. They’re different institutions FYI. (Not to detract from your point). Just wanted to throw that out there bcz other people are saying it was University of Pennsylvania.
If you’re paying that much to attend an elite educational institution you can be damn sure they’re not going to fail you. There’ll be extra targeted one on one tuition, special rewards for any improvement etc etc.
Do really think Trump exerted himself at university? No, the system looks after it’s cash cows.

That doesn’t refute the point? It just means that Musk has a grasp on politics inferior to a gifted 10 year old.

There is very little meaningful difference between a B.A and B.S in Physics. B.A is a little less rigorous, but not by much.
That said, I don’t have confidence in Musk being able to earn either without some bullshit going on.

The differences vary from school to school, and sometimes depend on which electives you took or what your GPA was.

Not a physics degree but an arts degree in physics. He doesn’t know shit.
I dunno. Maybe they meant he’s a piece of shit in boat form?
“hey look at all that budget we cut!”
“what to do… what to do… already cut my taxes, three times… hmmmm…”
“i know, lets go to mars! you’re buying.”
