    Is it also a case of survivorship bias? Like, I am not super versed in Nazi history, but… There are famous “smart” Nazis like Goebbels and Himmler and Speer - are they only well known because a) they slowly emerged as influential and/or b) it became clear years later that they were the ones behind the wheel?

    'Cause I do think that trump and musk are dumb as bricks, but I don’t think Steve Bannon is, and there are probably others like him…

      🤔 💭

      What got President Musk & his sidekick elected, or rather what made their campaign successful?

      Low IQ but high emotional intelligence or like sociopathic intelligence?
