Elon Musk is a Midwit
He’s just an actor who is playing the part of what the average man believes a brilliant and successful man to be. But it’s not real. It has never, ever, been real or even remotely convincing. Anyone who reads here regularly knows that I have denigrated his obvious lack of intelligence all along.
Attorney, journalist, and Elon Musk biographer Seth Abramson eviscerated both Elon Musk and his “fanboys” who have attempted to use the billionaire’s IQ as an indication of his intellectual prowess in a series of messages shared on X Thursday evening and into Friday. “You are in a cult,” he wrote in one before he later noted Musk “has zero personal intellectual achievements.”
“As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110,” Abramson tweeted Thursday afternoon. “There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher. And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo. There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.”
Elon Musk, like Albert Einstein, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Steven Gould, and Richard Dawkins, is a fake intellectual. There are many men whose aphorisms and utterances I have observed to contain sparks of brilliance, insight, and wisdom. Umberto Eco. Thomas Aquinas. Jerry Pournelle. Martin van Creveld. William S. Lind. Christopher Hallpike. John C. Wright. Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Nicholas Machiavelli. GK Chesterton. JRR Tolkien. Above all, Aristotle.
Elon Musk is not, and has never been, one of them.
This is not to say that I am opposed to what Elon Musk, or Elon Mask, as the case may be, is achieving with DOGE. I’m all for it. Long may the act continue. But it is an act, nothing more.
That’s the trouble with propping up midwits and pretending that they possess brilliant minds. Those who know what the real thing is can always see right through it.
That being said, give credit where credit is due. Even a midwit is capable of seeing through the Patriot FBI Front.
Right From Day One
Someone on Twitter declares that it might have been a good idea to take my criticism of Jordan Peterson seriously six years ago:
Watching Jordan Peterson – it’s hard not to conclude that Vox Day had it right from day one. Mentally unwell people can provide the stray insight that is unique, worth hearing. But they are not role models or gurus. It’s always a mistake to take a strange person and create a cult around him. This is basically also the problem of feminism – a handful of angry lesbians convincing healthy young women to live against their instincts.
The thing that was so frustrating for me about the general enthusiasm for Peterson was that it was based upon virtually nothing, and all of the contrary evidence was right out there on display. Literally all you had to do to know he was an evil, vainglorious nutbag was read either of his two books.
Stop looking for heroes. Stop looking for people to give you answers. Stop reading the Cliff’s Notes or paying any attention at all to the Next Great Conservative Hope. Because he will be a gatekeeper, and at best, a grifter. At worst, he’ll be a Federal honey trap, like good ol’ Ray Epps.
I don’t believe in taking advice from anyone who hasn’t been dead for at least 100 years. If their advice still holds up a century after their demise, then it’s probably worthwhile.
Guess Who’s Back on the Not-Meth?
Jordan Peterstein: Hey New Nazi troll rats
Anonymously trumpeting your anti-semitism doesn’t rescue you from your mother’s basement Or from the demon of resentment
Or make you more attractive to the women who take one look at you and shudder
And rightly bloody so
You are despicable bottom-rung cowards
Using GazaGazaGazaHamasHamas As camouflage for your detestable Cluster B psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism and of course Sadism
I’ve got your number you pathetic tantrum-toddlers
You don’t even have the courage of genuine bullies
You Cheeto-dust covered sweat stained white T-shirted hide-behind-your-mommy’s skirts scum
Andrew Torba: They call us every name in the book, but they never call us liars.
Jordan Peterstein: There are no bigger liars
Than those who believe their own lies
I don’t think you do believe your own lies @BasedTorba
Even though you are obviously a liar
And a despicable liar
I think instead that you are voluntarily irredeemable
Apparently Mr. Definitely Not Meth is back on the Not-Meth and projecting hard. He’s observably off his gourd again. I very much doubt he’s going to recover from his next meltdown. Once he realizes that he’s condemned himself forever by his full-throated endorsement of the Gazacaust, and that the greater part of the world views him as nothing more than a shameless apologist for Clown World, he’s not going to be able to live with himself.
A Profile in Cowardice
Jordan Peterson continues to demonstrate why no young man should have ever listened to a single word he said, much less one he wrote, as he explains why the January 6 political prisoners should not be pardoned by Donald Trump when he publicly reassumes the US presidency next year.
I mean, look, obviously many of those people convicted were doing what they believed in their heart of hearts to be right, and maybe there is some truth to their qualms about the Democratic process. But here’s something to consider, if you’re serious about unifying the country, don’t do the one thing that would piss your opponent off to the point where they felt they had nothing to lose. I mean, look, the left really believes these are ‘far-right insurrectionist Nazi terrorists’, whether that’s true or not is irrelevant. Pardoning them will only engender the undirected rage of paranoid Radical Leftists in such a way that compromise becomes impossible.
If you thought the summer of 2020 was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. For peace, I mean, I think they have to be a sacrifice. If the January 6 prisoners knew that they had to remain in prison for the sake of comforting the other half the country, and finding commonality, I think they, well I hope… would be ok with that.
Jordan Peterson is the textbook coward who dies a thousand deaths. No wonder he got addicted to not-meth. It must be literal Hell on Earth to live in constant fear the way he does. If, at this point, you ever recommended Jordan Peterson to anyone, you owe them an apology. And you really need to contemplate how it was possible for you to fall for such an obvious charlatan.
Thus Spake Spacebunny
An SG reader reads Gab:
This comment is the written equivalent of watching someone get thrown off a roof onto concrete. You can almost hear the crunch.
MILO: For all the times I had to read “YOUR JUST JEALUOS” and sit baffled wondering what exactly I was supposed to be envying. It has been so immensely satisfying to see the same mediocre midwit screen names sulkily and silently reappear on Telegram trying to forget Jordan Peterson ever happened
WILLIAM: I suspect it’s not so much that you cannot grasp the wisdom that Peterson brings to the table as it is being contrarian simply for the sake of eliciting a response. Perhaps not textbook trolling, but certainly in the same ballpark.
SB: Imagine still falling for Peterson’s drug-induced prattle this far in.
WILLIAM: So, I’ve got two “he’s a drug addict” and one “he’s a paid-for shill” responses. I’ve been reading Dostoevsky and Solzhenitsyn recently – one of which warned his people against what we’re entering into now, and the other who lived through it and fought back against it. Peterson frequently references them, and the way he talks demonstrates a deep understanding of the evil they were fighting against – something he is committed to fighting himself. So what’s the real problem? Is he just not snide and mean enough? Is it that he’s not telling you who to hate?
SB: Wanda: To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people. I’ve known sheep who could outwit you. I’ve worn dresses with higher IQs, but you think you’re an intellectual, don’t you, ape?
Otto: Apes don’t read philosophy.
Wanda: Yes they do, Otto, they just don’t understand it.
Congratulations – you’re Otto.

I just can’t imagine how she managed to get herself kicked off Elon’s bastion of free speech… again.

An Amusing Exchange
A commenter attempted to introduce a noted theologian to Nick Krauser. It did not go well.

might wanna watch jordan peterson’s lectures on the bible, nick 😉Krauser
He hasn’t even read the Bible.bowler hat
that’s an ignorant comment, nick. misguided at bestKrauser
No. You’re on JBP’s nuts. He treats the Bible like its just archtype stories and is theologically ignorant. He’s a fake and you’ve been had.bowler hat
sigh. you’re such a voxday fanboy, nick. he’s your guruKrauser
You’re posturing. Latest is that JBP just got exposed for lying about his IQ.
There are few things sadder than anyone who is dumb enough to still believe that Jordan Peterson is a serious public intellectual.
The Internet is Forever
Hate speech is what the wicked call criticism of their wickedness. Remember when everyone thought Jordan Peterson was a hero for standing up for free speech? Yeah, so, about that…
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

No, Harry, No!
Prince Harry has left readers wincing with his account of applying Elizabeth Arden cream used by his late mother to his frostbitten penis in 2011. The moment appears in his explosive memoir Spare, with a clip from the audiobook narrated by the Duke of Sussex himself making the rounds on social media, where horrified readers have called it a ‘Freudian nightmare.’ In the passage, Harry recalls that his late mother Princess Diana used to apply the cream to her lips, and says the smell of the product made him feel like his mother ‘was right there in the room’ before he applied the cream to his penis.
We’ve officially reached the point where satanic humiliation ritual may be the most optimistic explanation for Harry Markle’s behavior. Who ghostwrote this for him, Jordan Peterson?
