      That’s why the Epstein class likes narcissists in power. They’re incredibly easy to manipulate. They’re also dumb most of the time, thinking they know everything prevents them from learning new things.

    I mean I kinda partly agree. Who else could demonstrate a new car that, in the event of a small failure will kill you and people in a small blast radius around you instantly; sell a reservation for it for so much that 80% of americans couldnt afford it if they wanted to AND put a clause in it that states that a reservation doesn’t guarantee delivery, after a long history of not delivering promises going back over a decade?
    He knows who he’s selling to, and what to say to get them to buy his vaporjunk. And he does all this on top of erasing the names of the people actually accomplishing the stuff he’s boasting about from history.

    Genius doesn’t imply being a good person, right…
