Yeah but can they be generally stupid? I think that's just copium. They're not stupid.

I mean Trump obviously is, its not exactly hard to see from how he talks and acts. You can also see from his tax records how he has managed to consistently lose money over decades as one of the worst businessmen ever. When you have that much money you can make more by just hiring a financial planner to invest it in the market for you. Instead he managed to lose money investing in a casino? Thats honestly kind of impressively dumb.

Elon might be smarter than the average person, but that isn't saying much when over half the US cannot read at a sixth grade level. He certainly isn't the genius that people make him out to be.
