Letter: Musk greatest inventive genius of this century?

By Randy Coon 1 min read

Like many of us, our elected officials are capable of saying some really stupid things from time to time.

That was on clear display recently when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that Elon Musk was the "dumbest billionaire she had ever met."

Aside from the fact that Elon is the richest person on the planet and is sometimes socially awkward, he is also arguably the greatest inventive genius of the 21st century.

AOC was making a common mistake, known as the Halo Effect, where truly dumb people assume their shallow social skills actually make them smart.
