There are a lot of genuinely evil people who are smart enough to put on certain personas like Boris Johnson or AOC or Tucker Carlson because they know how to connect with certain demographics. But then you get people like Tim Pool and Elon Musk who are just genuinely stupid people who happen to be rich and connected.

If I was a campaign manager I would assume anything Elon lobbies for in my campaign agenda will either fail or be stupidly inefficient
