Elon Musk’s reputation as a visionary entrepreneur has been challenged by his biographer, Seth Abramson. In a recent social media post, Abramson questioned Musk’s intellectual abilities, citing lack of evidence for the billionaire’s IQ and arguing that his success is largely due to financial investments rather than intellectual achievements.
Abramson claims there is no substantial proof that Musk scored higher than 110 on an IQ test and asserts that companies like Zip2, PayPal, and Tesla Inc. were successful due to their founders’ financial backing, not their intelligence. He also criticizes SpaceX, attributing a significant portion of its success to former President Obama.
This development has sparked online debates about the correlation between wealth and intelligence, a topic often discussed in the tech and business world. The outcome of this debate could impact public perception of successful entrepreneurs like Musk and their ventures.
As Abramson’s comments gain attention, it remains to be seen how Musk will respond to these criticisms. However, one thing is clear: the narrative surrounding Musk’s intellectual prowess has been called into question, leaving many to wonder if wealth and intelligence are truly correlated.
