    … he wants to call it The Foundation.

    Dude legit thinks he’s a non-fiction modern-day Hari Seldon instead of a rich spoiled child with questionable taste in long leather coats who got the timing right in the .com bubble.

    What the fuck is going on lmao

      Another one of his references to science fiction novels and films he references but has either never actually seen or didn’t understand.

        At least he used to be able to think clearly. I think his brain has turned to mush from all the blow.

          He was never able to think clearly. Read what his former partners (business and otherwise) have to say about him.

            The years of articles about how “Elon Musk is the smartest person in every room … the most hard-working ever…” seem beyond ridiculous at this point.

              Welcome to the “free” press.

              It’s just billionaire-shilling for whoever happens to be the flavour of the moment.

      Is he going to hire Eliezer Yudkovsky as a professor and get him to teach The Sequences?

    “SpaceX and Tesla have noticed a meaningful degradation in the capability of US college graduates over the past several years,” Musk wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

    You don’t even have an engineering degree.

      He noticed a degradation in the applicants who want to work for him and perceived that through a narcissistic lens .

      Maybe he can have Terrence Howard as a professor?

        Coincidentally, back when Tesla was new and hit and before they had a reputation as an abusive workplace, they had a higher quality of applicants. Must be happening to everyone, right?

      He only ever got an economics degree.

      He was too stupid to earn a physics degree.

      He only got a physics degree 2 year after leaving the school, when the school got a huge “donation”.

    Private schools are the new grift. First it was for-profit private universities, now it’s K12. Unfortunately for Elon, the school voucher bill in Texas didn’t pass, despite the efforts of his buddies in the Tx lege. so will he even bother with the project now?

    How short a memory BI pretends to have. He tweeted about this moronic idea years ago and said he wanted to call it The Institute of Technology and Science because the initialism is TITS. He’s a clown, and pretending that isn’t still his main motivation lends him credibility.

      Maybe he should open the trial run in Sachs Harbour to form the Sachs Harbour Institute of Technology.

      It would be a proper appellation for anything he makes.

    I mean it almost worked for Trump…sure he was the one who suggested it to him.

      Elton’s university is likely to be a half-baked indoctrination center. Trump’s was just a straight up scam.
