Look up “are smarter people less social” it’s a well documented fact that intelligent people avoid social interactions more than the average. Small talk is like the lowest form of social interaction… not liking small talk doesn’t make you smart, being smart makes you dislike small talk.
Yall should define smart or intelligent. Having social skills is also part of cognitive capability. But yes if one would have a chance to talk to a very interesting person like elon musk why waste breath and time on small talk.
I think being able to make small talk is actually genius, if you can talk to anyone about anything that is a great skill and to some it just comes naturally. The power of conversation is amazing.
I don't. I am Asperger and I tried to be social and it was a vicious cyrcle. Now I try to be more logical than social and I support Musk 100%. Without special training in the childhood we autistic people cannot be social in the long run. It's just who we are.

@@kasroa 😂 ur internal hatred for elon musk cant deny facts... financially, scientifically & when it comes to risk taking abilities Elon really indeed is a genius.... In 2008 he nearly went bankrupt & had a huge decision to either invest his remaining money to tesla or spacex but he took a huge risk investing on both companies equally which both had a potential to Fail but.. look at them now how 😂.... & the reason he scientific genius is coz he literally became his own company's Spacex Chief Engineer... So he did work on his own rockets... If all that doesnt make him a genius idk what does😂 & he deveolped rockets which r reusable which even nasa cudnt make.. & hes has starlink internet to conquer control of wifi & internet.... U r just salty coz of ur hatred & jealousy for Elon his power & influence & u dare judge him meanwhile u being a broke peasant... 😂
She doesn't look ok and it's weird i feel she is still attached to him in a painful way, not so much as his first wife though. It's as if he is the male correspondent of a femme fatale that destroys the best men among best men. He is a sort of accomplished man that is the dream partner in the eyes of some women, he chooses the best women out of the best (nice character smart elegant proffesionally accomplished famous beautiful educated aso) but is capable of emotionally detaching from the relationship at the speed of light. So MAYBE these women didn't even get the chance of even realizing what happened when the relationship ended or why and are still aching. I have a sense that he is an all accomplished person that falls deeply in love and quickly out of love and he has amazing resources to move on and mind what is so much more important in life than looong life long romantic relationships that need constant effort and emphathy and generosity and kindness and self sacrifice to last, most important things which are his dreams, his succes and his children. It's as if a woman just got the so called best man only to see him vanish just like sand falling through your fingers, never behaving like other men who try at least to invest some sort of efforts to make things better, but he is ok to just not waste his energy and move on. Am i making sense, is there any truth in what i just said, or is it my imagination gone too far?!?! Bc i really don't know any of these people, yet i feel strongly my points are highly possible, though i have no proof for that!
@marekjanko8047 That's exactly the vibe i have gotten from all of his ex girlfriend's except for Amber Heard. Ofher then her they all seem still attached
Eh, she seems to be doing alright for herself and she still texts her ex to whine anout wokeness on twitter or whatever it's called now. Can't say i feel too bad for her.
When he's been near bankruptcy too he knows the right wealthy people who bail him out. Most of us just lose it all. If he sleeps in his car, he chose it.
The two arent mutually exclusive. Lets not woobify the richest man in the world for having mild autism; this isnt 2015 tumblr. And he doesnt like free speech you absolute d rider lmao. He likes his speech unfiltered and unquestioned and those he agrees with. Lets not pretend he doesnt censor anyone who seriously questions him
Asperger people don't like small talk because they don't understand meaning of it. Some details of human interaction don't exist for them. It's hard to explain what small talk is to human like that. Like explaining colors to colorblind.
Small talk is something you can learn, esp since Elon is a public figure. Even if you don't talk and just listen, you should still be polite whether you have Asperger's or not.
Small talk always seemed like the way to get to big talk. Terrible at it so rarely got to big talk with many people unless we were drinking. Maybe the people I eventually did get to big talk with were people like me who also hated small talk but figured it out to get to big talk. Hard to understand how anyone could like small talk outside of flirting.

The fact that he’s founded companies in multiple industries that most people thought were dead in the water and turned them into massive success stories shows he is a genius in that sense. So love him or hate him he’s a pretty smart dude
Well he obviously isn’t an idiot, but I wouldn’t call him a genius either. Being smart doesn’t mean you can’t be a dick. He is a businessman after all; that’s their job.
This is his ex wife who married him because he was rich. She is not the best judge of character. If everyones ex was right about them, then they either a) are just as bad because they married them or b) are wrong about them and thats why they divorced.
I am great in small talk! I can have a good convo with complete stranger. Small talk is like pre heating the oven. It seems silly, but talking about the weather always works, bc all people feel weather
@@voodoodolll it’s okay to think smalltalk is worthless. But I see people genuinely smiling and be grateful for a conversation. It’s often the first step.

People need to chill in the comment section. Elon is Elon, he will not change. Yeah it’s great to treat people with kindness and listen to them, but some people are bad at it or don’t like it and that is just fine. Being a good communicator and a caring person overall is a good trait and very charming but being antisocial and not liking to talk to people or not feeling the responsibility to make them feel better about themselves is just as fine. Let people be
You probably don’t mean antisocial. That’s something you find in narcissists, sociopaths, etc. I think you mean asocial. Also, it’s not about Elon’s social disposition. It’s about his attitude. The giveaway is that the first thing he says about them is “boring.” I have similar experiences when I go out, but I try to start off by recalling something nice about a person.

Let’s stop glamourising rude and obnoxious behaviour and try to connect it to someone’s genius. It’s being a prick for the sake of it, so call it what it is.
I love Elon Musk but I can appreciate these comments that call out how wealthy people's rude or perceived rude behaviors shouldn't be tolerated or excused simply because they're wealthy.
As much as Elon Musk is glorified, there are some serious problems. Tesla and SpaceX exist because the government heavily supports them. There is no discussion about whether Tesla would have survived without the emergency government bailout in 2008. If this is true, why are we glorifying Elon Musk? He was blessed by the government. He is the richest man in the world because of the U.S. taxpayer. Why is that being glorified? -C. Welch
He's done nothing genius except figuring out how to get free government money at the cost of the taxpayer. He's an investor and marketer and nothing else. Uses other people's ideas not his own. 😮
A lot of people are saying he’s not kind…well, being kind doesn’t mean he needs to be fake. Doing good for humanity and charity work is being kind, small talk is just fake nice. Being kind to people energize you, being fake drains your energy.
Its extremely hard to date someone with antisocial syndrome. They act extra unkind and you can not find a middle ground with them when it comes to making a decision. They dont change their mind at all and raising kids with them is the hardest of all. They will disowns a child like discarding a bad coffee if they happened to be anything less than what they expected.
I ALSO FIND PEOPLE BORING HES JUST LIKE ME! LET THAT *SINK* IN ABAHAHABAHAHAHAHAHHAA HES SOOOO FUNNY FUNNIEST BILLIONAIRE OUT THERE THATS FOR SURE AHAHAHAH JUST LIKE ME IM ALSO SMART
The thing about small talk is that so many people are so bad at it that it actually has become an extremely boring thing to do. What most small talk conversations are about is essentially low key boasting to others while they wait for their turn to do their own boasting. If the people involved in the conversation can both reign in their egos and make the conversation entertaining for eachother then small talk is fun
I have this in common with Elon but my problem is that I'm convinced that it's me that's the boring one. I have no idea how to entertain small talk and enjoy it
You understand social norms 💜 It's ok to not be good at it. At least you recognize it and don't blame other people. Small talk is part of social norms and is a skill that contributes to developing bonds ie. trust/respect.
Precisely, just look at Andrew Tate. He is rich, too many view him as a genius when in reality he's just too full of himself. There are some takes I agree with but at the end of the day he is completely deranged.
I'm not rich, neither am I very kind towards small group of people I interact with. I think we should look at ourselves and not judge someone we know nothing personally about.
And to think she played Mary Bennett in 2005's Pride & Prejudice and they made her look like the plainest & most boring sister. Look at her now!!! She's absolutely gorgeous!!!
Actually its not what I think.because i know shit about hum but my son is currenrly reading "Elon Musk, genious or conman?". Look like many people think the same.
He will save us… he’s the real deal jesus man hailed from Africa… He’s the next Noah… he’s our god… our lord… my tesla was sacrificed in fire and I prayed and cried in glory…
She seems really heartbroken not to be with him anymore. And as the mother of so many of his children, with all she went through, he should not have left her. She is beautiful and utterly lovely. So warm, she looks like an angel. He seems to be obsessed with having as many children as possible.
Being unable to genuinely socialize is not a causation of high intellect...it's simply a correlation that exists sometimes. Tragic that people like Elon Musk (especially since he's a business owner who manages people) have chosen to remain that way and believing it's simply a sign that they're better than everyone else. Social skills can be improved if you want them to be. In today's world of disconnection and superficiality, being able to truly connect with people is a superpower.
what's wrong with Grimes?? It saddens me that so many know her only as Elons ex. She's a legit artist, just as she was years before she got involved with Musk
I've always liked Grimes. She had a career before musk and has some cool interests. I'd be friends or at least have a good conversation with her even if she didn't know Elon.
Eh... you probably will not care. Nevertheless, Grimes seems genuinely intelligent and nice. She's f*cking weird, but I saw her in an interview with a guy that looks like the Arctic Monkeys singer and she was very, very cool. Everything she said were straight up facts. So no need to insult her. The amazing thing is how they both ended up married to someone like him, who seems... eh, overhyped.
Trashing him? How are you getting THAT from this?? She's just talking about how he feels his fame allows him to not make small talk that he dislikes. An aspect of his personality.She's not even really making a value judgment about that. How is that trashing him?? He's ELON MUSK. If she wanted to trash him, there's an avalanche of things she could have said!! This is not trashing an ex.

In 2008 he nearly went bankrupt & had a huge decision to either invest his remaining money to tesla or spacex but he took a huge risk investing on both companies equally which both had a potential to Fail but.. look at them now how 😂.... & the reason he scientific genius is coz he literally became his own company's Spacex Chief Engineer... So he did work on his own rockets... If all that doesnt make him a genius idk what does😂 & he deveolped rockets which r reusable which even nasa cudnt make.. & hes has starlink internet to conquer control of wifi & internet....

What a refreshing commentsection! Are you britainpeople all that nice? :)
Who else knows her from St.Trinians
WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT OMG
right! how tf
Doctor who
To be fair, SmallTalk is a pretty obscure programming language, so I can understand
Underated comment
Feel sorry for her, just imagine all the crap she had to put up with… still she’s ok now,
She doesn't look ok and it's weird i feel she is still attached to him in a painful way, not so much as his first wife though. It's as if he is the male correspondent of a femme fatale that destroys the best men among best men. He is a sort of accomplished man that is the dream partner in the eyes of some women, he chooses the best women out of the best (nice character smart elegant proffesionally accomplished famous beautiful educated aso) but is capable of emotionally detaching from the relationship at the speed of light. So MAYBE these women didn't even get the chance of even realizing what happened when the relationship ended or why and are still aching. I have a sense that he is an all accomplished person that falls deeply in love and quickly out of love and he has amazing resources to move on and mind what is so much more important in life than looong life long romantic relationships that need constant effort and emphathy and generosity and kindness and self sacrifice to last, most important things which are his dreams, his succes and his children. It's as if a woman just got the so called best man only to see him vanish just like sand falling through your fingers, never behaving like other men who try at least to invest some sort of efforts to make things better, but he is ok to just not waste his energy and move on. Am i making sense, is there any truth in what i just said, or is it my imagination gone too far?!?! Bc i really don't know any of these people, yet i feel strongly my points are highly possible, though i have no proof for that!

from "nothing" lol. most of us would kill for their "nothing" 🤣

She meant from nothing attention-wise to a lot of attention, there’s so much context if you pay attention. They’re talking about fame.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@Different Pound Agreed.
"coming from nothing" when you inherited millions from parents educated in your field 🤣🤣🤣 hillarious
When he's been near bankruptcy too he knows the right wealthy people who bail him out. Most of us just lose it all. If he sleeps in his car, he chose it.
That's about herself
Just like Donnie. Except he still managed to go bankrupt soooooo many times.
I think she's talking about their relationship's evolution
Both his parents still alive, he inherited nothing, he actually supports them.........
He’s not antisocial he’s just neurodivergent. Y’all just hate it that he likes free speech.
Exactly I find it strange that supposedly compassionate people mock him for being neurodivergent.
The two arent mutually exclusive. Lets not woobify the richest man in the world for having mild autism; this isnt 2015 tumblr. And he doesnt like free speech you absolute d rider lmao. He likes his speech unfiltered and unquestioned and those he agrees with. Lets not pretend he doesnt censor anyone who seriously questions him
😂😅 Hilarious!
He's clearly antisocial. That's not a good trait in humans.
He certainly likes his own free speech, others, not so much.
The guy just doesn't like small talk that's all.
Asperger people don't like small talk because they don't understand meaning of it. Some details of human interaction don't exist for them. It's hard to explain what small talk is to human like that. Like explaining colors to colorblind.
Sounds like me
Small talk is something you can learn, esp since Elon is a public figure. Even if you don't talk and just listen, you should still be polite whether you have Asperger's or not.
Small talk always seemed like the way to get to big talk. Terrible at it so rarely got to big talk with many people unless we were drinking. Maybe the people I eventually did get to big talk with were people like me who also hated small talk but figured it out to get to big talk. Hard to understand how anyone could like small talk outside of flirting.
Very true. I didn't think of that.
Small talk is inefficient, and tells you nothing of meaning about the person you’re taking to.
What is the meaning exactly? Do you even know?
"from nothing to everything"??? Seriously 😂😂😂😂
She was talking about herself
She’s a former gold-digger. Married him twice and got a larger payment the second time. She’s aged though. Looks older than her years.

She loves talking about him because she gets paid bank in these interviews.

@@swisscheeseplease97 Actually, I'd rather talk to people about shit that actually matters.
@@angelwings7930 didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I said let's of people detest it. It's pointless blather. Nobody cares about the weather. Nobody cares "how you're doing" and they don't even pretend to. So, why not actually talk to people instead of just saying words. That is my preference. You do you, though.
@@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens Polite, superficial talk has its place. No need to launch into personal or other things when you don’t know the person well, and often situations call for surface talk although it doesn’t have to be about the weather. Even with light chat you can find out you’ve got something in common with whoever you’re talking to. That can lead to spending more time with them. Etc.

That story has never been independently confirmed. It's something his father claimed he owned a stake in in the mid or late 80's.

Everyone here saying he isn’t a genius: he is. I’m not a dickrider either. He needs to have an IQ over 140 and most successful billionaire businessmen do. The fact that he’s founded companies in multiple industries that most people thought were dead in the water and turned them into massive success stories shows he is a genius in that sense.

People need to chill in the comment section. Elon is Elon, he will not change. Yeah it’s great to treat people with kindness and listen to them, but some people are bad at it or don’t like it and that is just fine. Being a good communicator and a caring person overall is a good trait and very charming but being antisocial and not liking to talk to people or not feeling the responsibility to make them feel better about themselves is just as fine. Let people be
Yah the comment section is total cancer, they talk like they know him personally
You probably don’t mean antisocial. That’s something you find in narcissists, sociopaths, etc. I think you mean asocial.
Also, it’s not about Elon’s social disposition. It’s about his attitude. The giveaway is that the first thing he says about them is “boring.” I have similar experiences when I go out, but I try to start off by recalling something nice about a person.

When you are rich you are not an idiot with poor social skills. You are just an extravagant genius.

If the small talk act as a stepping stone to get what you want e.g. a small talk with the US president, then yes. If not, it’s just a waste of time.

I love Elon Musk but I can appreciate these comments that call out how wealthy people's rude or perceived rude behaviors shouldn't be tolerated or excused simply because they're wealthy.
As much as Elon Musk is glorified, there are some serious problems. Tesla and SpaceX exist because the government heavily supports them. There is no discussion about whether Tesla would have survived without the emergency government bailout in 2008. If this is true, why are we glorifying Elon Musk? He was blessed by the government. He is the richest man in the world because of the U.S. taxpayer. Why is that being glorified?
-C. Welch
He's done nothing genius except figuring out how to get free government money at the cost of the taxpayer. He's an investor and marketer and nothing else. Uses other people's ideas not his own. 😮
Can we just talk about how he kissed her with absolutely no emotion- His facial expression never changed - he looks dead inside.

You’re barking up the wrong tree. This is the idiot tree. The logical tree is not on TH-cam. (I agree with you.)

Its extremely hard to date someone with antisocial syndrome. They act extra unkind and you can not find a middle ground with them when it comes to making a decision. They dont change their mind at all and raising kids with them is the hardest of all. They will disowns a child like discarding a bad coffee if they happened to be anything less than what they expected.

Abuse dynamics are very complex
Many women like that. That's why they are attracted to bad boys.
The thing about small talk is that so many people are so bad at it that it actually has become an extremely boring thing to do. What most small talk conversations are about is essentially low key boasting to others while they wait for their turn to do their own boasting. If the people involved in the conversation can both reign in their egos and make the conversation entertaining for eachother then small talk is fun
BBC after being crushed by Elon Musk be like:
I have this in common with Elon but my problem is that I'm convinced that it's me that's the boring one. I have no idea how to entertain small talk and enjoy it
You understand social norms 💜 It's ok to not be good at it. At least you recognize it and don't blame other people. Small talk is part of social norms and is a skill that contributes to developing bonds ie. trust/respect.
The sad part is that people equate money with genius. They might correlate but they aren’t cause and effect
Precisely, just look at Andrew Tate. He is rich, too many view him as a genius when in reality he's just too full of himself. There are some takes I agree with but at the end of the day he is completely deranged.

She seems really heartbroken not to be with him anymore. And as the mother of so many of his children, with all she went through, he should not have left her. She is beautiful and utterly lovely. So warm, she looks like an angel. He seems to be obsessed with having as many children as possible.
Being unable to genuinely socialize is not a causation of high intellect...it's simply a correlation that exists sometimes. Tragic that people like Elon Musk (especially since he's a business owner who manages people) have chosen to remain that way and believing it's simply a sign that they're better than everyone else. Social skills can be improved if you want them to be. In today's world of disconnection and superficiality, being able to truly connect with people is a superpower.

I've always liked Grimes. She had a career before musk and has some cool interests. I'd be friends or at least have a good conversation with her even if she didn't know Elon.
Eh... you probably will not care.
Nevertheless, Grimes seems genuinely intelligent and nice. She's f*cking weird, but I saw her in an interview with a guy that looks like the Arctic Monkeys singer and she was very, very cool.
