A while ago I compared Elon Musk to Leonardo da Vinci. Now I changed.
Why?
Not because I don't think he's up there in the pantheon of geniuses like da Vinci. But because there's a better comparison, to another genius.
Leonardo had a prime critic and it was Michelangelo. Now, imagine that. The main critic in your life is the best artist, sculptor, ceiling painter of all time. That's some critic. Elon Musk has no such critic. There's no one like him, or even near him.
That's when I hit on another genius: Mozart. He had his critic. Salieri. Now, Salieri was rather good at his job. Just that he was nowhere near Mozart's level. He wasn't like the Michelangelo to the Leonardo of the Florentine Vinci comune.
Still, Salieri had his followers. All of whom came to hate on Mozart just as Salieri had.
So it is with Musk.
Musk has his Salieri gang. All of whom now hate on him, just as Salieri and the Salieri gang came to hate on the genius of Mozart.
The gang of Salieris. Most of the Democrats in America and now most of the Left around the world. And they are just as jealous and demented as was the Salieri gang.
So. Wolfgang Amadeus Musk. There's another similarity. Both of Mozart and Musk had/have a rather immature, silly, at time scatalogical humour. A tendency to burst out in wild laughter at their own jokes. But both were/are virtuosi, who can do what no-one else can.
In the Vid above Pavel Durov tells Lex Fridman why Elon is such a genius.
By contrast, a prime example of a modern Salieri. A modern hater on the world's best entrepreneur. At the Daniel Boland show, Daniel mocks the clownish Ed Milliband, who never met a cheap and reliable means of producing energy that he didn't want to ban. This Mr Ed, had a go at Elon Musk at last week's Labour Party conference. The greatest threat to the U.K. in two words, Mr Ed tells the conference, is "Elon Musk". Not the Climate Emergency, not the National Debt, not even Islamic Terrorism. No, no. It's Elon. Because he noticed some things.
So, the day after a murderous attack on Jews, by yet another Jihadi living in the U.K., a man with the first name "Jihad", the day after that, Mr Ed tells us that "Elon Musk is the problem". Not that 98% of extremist murders in Britain are done by Muslims. Not the fact that their fellow travellers call for "Sharia for the UK". No that they say "we are here to take over". Not that they mock Brits flying the England flag with "what, you think this is your country?". No, none of that. The threat is Elon Musk.
There is no hope for the future of Britain as an independent and proud country, when that is the level of political discourse of the current ruling party. When that is the level of "analysis". When that is the level of delusion.
