Elon Musk is a genius? Whats the punchline?
The punchline is "world's richest man".
Ever since the invention of stuff and money there haven't been too many dumb people who claimed that title.
like this is a generation thing most boomers hate elon but if ur seeing things with fresh eyes u realize he is kinda GOAT fr fr ... i'd say hikaru is like the elon of chess because hikaru used technology to make chess and esport and even hikaru said if you are NM master level and playing chess hours per day without improving then u are addicted and wasting ur time
So moral of the story...
Learn quantum mechanics.
Develop a quantum computer.
Worship the new Quantum Fish chess AI overlord.
Get ELO rating of infinity but this is permanently displayed as -1/12, so everything thinks you are bad at chess.

My friend posted something about Long Quach and it is exactly how I feel about him

Rice cakes may not have brains, but that’s because they’ve been cooked

The excretory system just gets rid of it. Waste comes from outside where the necessary bits go to the blood stream and the unnecessary go to the excretory system

Rice cakes are cooked using outside wastes and then again excreted outside as waste
Idli is fermented so it isn’t using any waste. It just doesn’t have oxygen which is essential. And because it isn’t using said waste then it can’t secrete said waste
Also you need to steam it with Daal batter and Daal is very nutritious and doesn’t have much waste

Chess is just a game, nothing more.
People who say otherwise are delusional. I play chess just to have fun; just like a 10yo kid would spend his time on Minecraft or whatever crap they're playing nowadays lol.
IDK I think chess is a pretty good time if you ask me. Elon might be wrong on this one for some reason

(a lot of stuff)
Genius is a word tossed around much too often. Musk isn't a genius, regardless of his wealth, he's just a guy with a lot of money, and having the most money is probably the weakest claim to genius. There are many examples of genius in history, claiming to be a genius because of money looks pathetic in comparison; Hannibal Barca winning at Cannae is genius, Musk chasing Who's on First, isn't. Yet the wealthy and their cheerleaders claim some special status because of their wealth, some twisted form of meritocracy, Hey are superior because of their wealth. The reality is more like everyone is in a 100m sprint, and the wealth one is born into determines one's head start. When a member of some group with a large "head start wins, that is used as proof that they deserve their status, and "special considerations". The flip side are those like Elizabeth Holmes, that at one time or another was the cover story for every financial rag and cable business program, she too was touted as a genius, she like so many other business "leaders" was just a criminal. Elon Musk should be thought of a simply the guy with the most money, he isn't run of the mill, but he isn't a genius either; he's just a guy with an ego to match his fortune who says a lot of questionable things, surrounded by yes-men and toadies who sing his praises---not a unique or new problem in the world.
Bro needs an oscar for saying chess is a wasting time.
Chess has a meaningful meaning. Without it we wouldnt play it. Chess is a way to make decisions right. Every time u make a mistake it will cost ur life. Get ur ideas correct kid. 300 million people are playing chess and not so less people are playing it right now
I will say this over and over again.
Chess is not just a simple game, although it is.
It is an "industrial complex". It's a whole cottage industry. It has magazines, like ballet. It has all kinds of books, chess sets, products, DVDs and gizmos.
And it gave rise to the Internet itself.
