Honestly, I take EVERYTHING that guy says with a container of salt.  He has caused so much damage to his company with his tweets that I wouldn't be surprised if this is either an attempt at damage control or an out-right lie.

I think we are all geniuses in some area and dumb as a bucket in others. Elon Musk is a man like the rest of us Tony Lewis .

Very smart!

I wish we knew.

He's a smart guy, but there are different kinds of "smart". Don't know what you're getting at...

Intelligence is defined as "the ability of an organism to adapt itself adequately to both the old and especially the new situations in its environment."

So the answer to this is: you don't know, do ya?

Having said that, if I could adapt my fat butt to a car that small, I would consider myself to be . . . A natural redhead!

Elon's definitely got vision.

I am not qualified to test his IQ 

There is no correlation between riches and "smart". 

On your latest post not blog. 

I think he's brilliant, his IQ shows that. He's not bad to look at. My money is on him.

Globalist.

Elon is one smart cookie with an active mind!

I suspect that he is smarter than I am.

I agree 100% with Kathleen Daniels!

Very Smart.

Smart, smart. 

He has Tesla. 

I don't.

He has vision and smarts...A

This is another one of those "who knows" what questions and I just do not know!

And whom am I to judge another!

Very smart.

I have no idea... I barely know who he is and don't follow Tesla... I think it's a car. I don't believe in setting up industry leaders as some sort of god whose words we should hang on.

We shall see...

Very smart.

An interesting personality type to be sure and clearly a intelligent guy too.

Almost as smart as I am!

Tony Lewis - smarter than me for sure! That's why he is where he is.

He has created some amazing companies. It is too soon to celebrate success or bemoan failure for Mr. Musk.

Elon Musk is just another Donald Trump.... talk is often only talk... fodder for the masses!

I don't know much about him. I think he has vision and ability and puts both to work which seems pretty smart. :-) I know that it has made him a lot of money!

He could be the next P.T. Barnum, except a HELL of lot richer!

Insane

Tesla the invenstor was a genius so that is a lot to live up to. Musk needs a good team to work what has begun and to lift it into the next stage and phases. The public has clearly signaled they are on board with the product

NO ONE reaches the pennacle of business, commerse, education or even enterianment who is not smart. Each of us possess a measure of the four attributes of genius, however one is dominate if we choose to discover it and create within that dimension.

Staying at the top means enduring relentless and brutal attacks from every corner and sector of society. At some point they become tired, mentally fatigued and when that happens everyone else looks stupid, and bad choices are made.

So, how smart is a VISIONARY? They are either CRAZY (as measured by the un-smart) or incomprehensible (as measured by those with blinders).

Somewhere there is a village missing an idiot...

 I think that is about to be seen .... and time will tell...

I don't know how smart he is, I have been following him...so I don't know all the details. 

I really do not know much about this
