Is he formidably intelligent? Don’t see it myself. He’s bright, and far, far smarter than his boss, but he’s never struck me as especially clever. Top 5% maybe? That’s not that smart in the scheme of things.Clearly formidably intelligent (in stark contrast to Trump)
No way. He’s a risk taker and an adrenaline junkie.Is he formidably intelligent? Don’t see it myself. He’s bright, and far, far smarter than his boss, but he’s never struck me as especially clever. Top 10% maybe? That’s not that smart in the scheme of things.
I’m talking about JD Vance, mate. As per the post I quoted.No way. He’s a risk taker and an adrenaline junkie.
He’s got lucky, but with some intelligence to be ahead of the curve on EVs.
Ah, sorry. I did try to look for context.I’m talking about JD Vance, mate. As per the post I quoted.
And I’ve edited it to top 5%. I think that’s fairer. But he’s not formidably intelligent imo.
Less of the alleged!Ah, sorry. I did try to look for context.
I don’t know what to make of Vance. He pricks all my weirdo radar warnings.
What he does have over Trump and Musk is the ability to not needing to emotionally respond to everything.
On the other hand, he’s an alleged sofa molester.
I just didn’t want to risk Ric being sued for thousands of pounds.Less of the alleged!
Like he’s going to sue anyone for saying that! Why shine a light on it?I just didn’t want to risk Ric being sued for thousands of pounds.
It’s the US. They’d try to sue DFS for ending their sale early if they could.Like he’s going to sue anyone for saying that! Why shine a light on it?
There is a school of thought that this is the beginning of a techofascist oligarch takeover. Worth remembering that, via Thiel, Vance is totally in their pocket.He'll be staying well out of this.
If this escalates and Trump goes further off the rails, the 25th Amendment could loom into view very quickly, and Vance will use it as an opportunity to pounce.

They are very much underestimating Trump's rabid base. Elon is a pawn, he doesn't need him anymore.There is a school of thought that this is the beginning of a techofascist oligarch takeover. Worth remembering that, via Thiel, Vance is totally in their pocket.

The Cult is so strong, there is nothing he could do that would have his lemmings doubt him in any wayThey are very much underestimating Trump's rabid base. Elon is a pawn, he doesn't need him anymore.
Musk is done and Vance will be too if he speaks out against the master

I agree with you, so fucking dodgyI don’t disagree, but what worries me is that Musk and his lackeys were given free-reign to access all manner of sensitive data on the population and probably other things as well. Who’s hands has all that ended up in?
