    They do go around saying that though He’s smart as fuck.

    ?

    “An IQ test doesn’t really do much except tell you how good you are at IQ tests - that… Measure… intelligence.” See how that sounds? Lol.

      It doesn’t measure intelligence, it correlates with (logical) intelligence. There is also emotional intelligence, which Musk is evidently on the exact opposite side of genius. You just can’t put an exact number on intelligence, only approximate it. Having a lot of money ensures good baseline education, and many avenues to inflate score. His actions and results are going to speak louder than any score he pumps up, and we know where that ends:

      The easiest way to cheat on an IQ test is to simply practice. As far as I know, nobody has yet managed to design an IQ test where you can’t get better with practice.
