      Cuz he was quieter. When I used to think he might be smart is when I never watched any of his interviews or read any of his tweets.

      Better to keep your mouth shut and be called a fool than to open it and prove them right.

      Never liked him to begin with, but back then I saw him as a visionary. Seems he has been having visions all along.

      Many drugs permanently alter your brain. He could’ve been smart at some point but he just took too many/the wrong drugs. Now his intelligence is low enough that he thought it would be cool to hang out with Trump.

      …but let’s be honest: You don’t get that rich by being smart. You get that rich by being lucky (and a total scumbag).

      My assumption is that he paid a meme troll group to make propaganda about him.

      I’ve literally seen “memes” claiming he was some kind of genius because of an attached video of some guy cutting a carton box to fit an object in during a packaging job.

      Pretty sure mr “my dad owns stakes in an emerald mine” never did any manual labour in his life.
