He has to comment and pretend to be an expert on literally everything. Maybe the worst case of main character syndrome in history.
He just says stuff
And he and Sam Harris had a bet about how long the pandemic would last. When Harris called Elon out on his disaster of a prediction, Elon ended their friendship.
[https://fortune.com/2025/01/16/elon-musk-bet-covid-cases-sam-harris/](https://fortune.com/2025/01/16/elon-musk-bet-covid-cases-sam-harris/)
He cites one incident where the [Tesla](https://fortune.com/tag/tesla/) CEO bet him $1 million against a $1,000 bottle of tequila that the U.S. wouldn’t see as many as 35,000 cases of COVID-19.
Harris said he tried to up the bet to 3.5 million cases of COVID-19 at the time, but Musk accused him of “having lost [his] mind” and insisted on sticking with 35,000 cases.
After the CDC reported 35,000 deaths from COVID-19 a few weeks later, Harris said he texted Musk: “Is (35,000 deaths + 600,000 cases) > 35,000 cases?”
The text went unanswered, according to Harris, who cites the message as the end of their years-long friendship.
#Big if true. 🧐
“it’ll be gone by the summer” Donald Trump
The thing about Elon is he has a terrible opinion on everything under the sun. He cannot stop giving his opinion on things because he thinks his opinion is always right no matter the topic. People actually hang onto every word this dumbfuck has to say.
Damn. What a staggeringly close prediction. Mad genius.
Not only should that be something he’s asked about every time he tries to do something, “that’s like saying Covid will be gone April” should be a standard reference for bad predictions.
That’s around the time his steep decline started. btw this is the tweet that ultimatively led to his falling out with Sam Harris.
He even made a bet about that.
Wven he lost he just blocked the friend (Sam Harris) he made the bet with.

“Genius”
I honestly believe he’s overtaken the gateway pundit as the dumbest man on the internet
Right before the lockdowns haha. And right after I heard him speak at a big Air Force event, and was sick right after – probably COVID.
What a fucking clown
Elon Musk will go down in history as definitive proof that one can be both the richest man in the world and a complete buffoon, if there is ever any doubt.
FIVE YEARS?!?
Tracking…
I’m pretty sure I have Covid right now.
He said April, not which April. Keep crying libs!
My tesla order is all set. Just waiting on FSD and lets goooooo! 2016… 2017… 2018…… 2019… 2020….. 2021… 2022…. 2023…. 2024….. 2025… whelp. nvm.
why do people hate me?
I could not have rolled my eyes any harder when he made this tweet.
Like, bro, why you gotta pretend to be an expert on everything? You’re just making it ever more abundantly clear that you aren’t.
At this point I hope we can all see he is not a credible source for anything, nor is he any kind of visionary.
What ages worse than milk?
He’s so consistently wrong. Apparently ketamine does wonders for confidence.
2020 is when I realized this guy was just full of shit. I was desperate for anyone to make sense of how fucked the world was and I would see his tweets and hope he was right. Obviously he was really wrong and just likes to hear himself talk.
Oh yeah, Elon and Rogan were talking the other day about how no one is dying from Covid anymore. People are, [in fact](https://data.who.int/dashboards/covid19/deaths), still dying from Covid.
Got this from [The Know Rogan Experience](https://www.knowrogan.com/0013-elon-musk/)
He really is just as brilliant as they say.
“Based on all trends, I’m an absolute dumb ass”
Holy fuck already been 5 years since the beginning of the pandemic.
A stupid man with money
They already said that they expect the measles outbreak to last another year . JFC can we get shit done right this time?!!
He’s just awkward
Concerning.
Being rich doesn’t equal being smart
By this time Elon was already turning to moronic shit…..Ketamine??
