Elon Musk was a terrible student in school. He got shit grades and hated it. He is now the smartest CEO on the planet...

gtfo

Einstein had excellent grades.

Who cares

Can't wait to see how senpai Musk becomes the first human to walk on another planet >.

he wasnt though, elon got top grades in everything without really trying

nice reading comprehension

He got good grade easily.
He can read a book once and retain the information, even being able to invoke it at will.
His problem-solving abilities are through the roof.

Repeat after me : IQ is meaningless, we are all equal.

didnt know Einstein was a CEO

Naruto was a terrible student in ninja school. He got shit grades and hated it. He is now the most powerful ninja on the planet. You know how they said that about Orochimaru even though it wasn't true? Well, for Naruto it was.

I don't disagree, regarding the capacitance of peoples... but... we're only so equal on paper. Until there's some grandiose push to mold the system to play to our nature, a lot of people won't appear as equal as they could be. IQ isn't so much meaningless, as it's misappropriated often. And, by the words of those who are actually tasked with dissecting, rectifying, and ultimately defining IQ, poorly understood.

And let's face it, some people genuinely don't have the same levels of "power" at their disposal. They quite literally are missing bits and pieces, or have sustained damage. For some, forming the right connections (as opposed to new connections) may never be possible. Some may never receive the proper intervention regarding chemical imbalance, or regarding psychological boggles. Some may require extensive... "reprogramming". Doesn't make them qualitatively more dumb than anyone else, it just means that it requires more work for them to tell you, and remember, the first 500 prime numbers.

I was a terrible student in school. I got shit grades and hated it. I am now the smartest shitposter on the planet. You know how they said that about Quentin even though it wasn't true? Well, for me it was.

>He is now the smartest CEO on the planet.
That's not Jeff Bezos.

You don't need good grades to be good CEO, but ambitions and luck. If his engineers were terrible students in school, he would never accomplish anything. He is just a idea guy, he doesn't invent stuff or construct them. His success is all thanks to these smart people working behind his back.

He dual majored in physics and economics

>He is now the smartest CEO on the planet
What about Jim Simons? He has whole areas of mathematics and physics named for him, and is wealthier than Musk.

1. He wasn't a shit student.
2. P (shit student | success) =/= P (success | shit student).

>He got good grade easily.
A fucking meme, I have met people pretending not to learn too much for tests and acing them. People pretending to have only gotten mediocre grades because they were lazy. And any combination of those. The whole definition of learning easily is a meme I've been experiencing my whole life. I constantly meet idiots who think they are working really hard because they play video games with book on their knees and count it as hours of learning material. Grades a fucking shit.
>He can read a book once and retain the information, even being able to invoke it at will.
Everyone can to various degrees. It would be a problem if I were to watch anime and then not be able to invoke the plot or PLOT at will.
>His problem-solving abilities are through the roof.
Such a lax definition that doesn't say anything. Might as well just say that his power level is through the roof and it would give us about as much information.
>IQ is meaningless
IQ is one of the worst metrics to use for anything. It's a test made for retarded children, literally. It's basically inaccurate measurement of one or a few attributes associated with mental work. It's like looking at some guy and telling him that since he is so tall he must be good at basketball or even worse, thinking that someone below 1.9m will never be good at it.

actually gifted people are frequently not bothered to study at school because it's easy/ a waste of time.

back to your shitposting m8s.

I have seen gifted people not bothering to study any math in school cause they've already read through books for stuff 2 grades higher. Most people doing math didn't care about it at all and skipped through basic explanations and instead tried to memorize everything, dumping any information obtained right after the test. You don't need to be gifted not to bother studying math, you just need to actually like it especially if it's something as pitiful as school math in USA.

I haven't really seen any of the gifted people I interacted with suddenly gain knowledge out of the blue though. In fact they would always work much harder than I did. Those guys would just wait to interject for a moment and tell the class about some new cool theorem they read about. They still had to study for other subjects since knowing about history would require reading a history book etc

you really don't you can just make up shit on the test and still do okay.
american highschools are pathetic desu.

>you really don't you can just make up shit on the test and still do okay.
How the fuck can you do something like that during a biology test for example? Here you at least have to memorize shit for those subjects.

underrated

I guess I'm "gifted". I have what could go for photographic memory, on top of other things that could be suspect; my ability to pull things out of my ass, having only seen it once, is pretty potent.

Certain concepts and things in class were things I understood the moment they were shown, while everyone else had to grapple with it. I was "the smart one" right at the start, and the only thing that's changed is that I know and want to meet those who know more than I do. Broad ranges of Philosophy, Psychology, Logic, certain avenues of Math, certain levels of Chemistry, Biology, Physics... it's all there. I can always go further, but there are only ever 24 hours in a day, and 17 of those hours are spent making sure I'm well fed, clean, and not stir crazy. It could be because I bothered to understand some semblance of said things in the earlier years of my life following those moments, or maybe that I formed certain connections better, either due to circumstance or opportunity, or that certain hormones
>ARE MY FAVORITE DRUG
but... at face value, I was a "gifted kid" that got things (and remembered them) by simply taking the time to read them at least once. And due to being a special snowflake, I never forgot about them.

It's not often that things will come out of the blue, so much that I coincidentally have "eureka" moments and figure things out rapidly (that very well could have been figured out already, but remain obscure to most). No magic here.

tldr; There are things I still never have to do homework for, to complete. Things that simply click, because I've never forgotten how to use the tools required. There are also things that I still have to take some amount of time with (learning how to play an instrument is a big one). But, I can guarantee that if I spend at least 2 months with the subject, I can come back with you as if it were my hobby.

i got a four on the AP by guessing on the mulitiple choice and writing offtopic about some genetics book i had read.

Elon sucked at making video games I don't and have sold many millions around the world for many different platforms. Should I retire from games and start my own space company? I bet I could beat space-X and blue origin with less tech solutions just hiring more welders and using cheaper materials. Just build giant klunky rockets that get things done.

You dumped all your points into charisma and luck then

>but muh IQ is shit!
>that's why my life is like this!
Keep crying, that'll surely work ;^=)

You might have some asshole genes/habits, though.

>Musk go into the University of Pennsylvania and graduated with a degree in physics. He then got into Stanford's graduate program in physics.

his application listed him as south african so he got in for diversity points (they thought he was a moon cricket)

>This is the nature of living in a capitalist society.

Yeah m8 undesirable jobs will just disappear in your utopian socialist/communist commune.

It's the nature of living in a civilized society. People need to have their trash picked up on a weekly basis. Who the fuck aspires to become a trash man?

Veeky Forums is just as autistic as any other board 2bh.

>2016
>he still thinks mass automation and the robotics revolution won't make a global communist utopia inevitable

laughingwhores.svg

Musk has yet to produce anything useful. Fap harder

>2016
>He thinks the socialist utopia is reliant on automation and not the amount of available resources that can be allocated to each person for a high quality life

He didn't talked about communism or socialism at all. Please go and be a mouthbreather somewhere else.

This is some medium quality bait for sure.

>who desires to be a trashman
i do, that shit pays real good. too bad you have to suck cock to get it.

Reminder that to accomplish communist utopia you need both technology and wealth. And nothing brings more technology and wealth than capitalism.
Also keep in mind that people were saying the same thing while industrial revolution because mashies were taking their jobs at farms. But it didn't resulted in everyone becoming unemployed, whole people just started working in service industry. Capitalism doesn't like unemployment, when some jobs become obsolete, new jobs will be created, while everyone's wealth will increase.

Then your curriculum is shit

he's not smart, he's a meme scientist along with de-ass and kr-ass

t. McHamburger university undergrad

Well, people claim it's the hardest CS in city and one of the hardest in country. If I compare it to all my friends who study CS in various cities, it really is significantly harder when it comes to math and theory. Many people can't believe me I managed to be on 3rd year without failing any class. My classmates also don't believe me when I say I don't watch online lectures/howto videos(which for some reason are popular as fuck) and learn straight from books and wikipedia.
But I don't really care if the curriculum is shit or not. I already work as programmer and have all the required skills. I just do university for paper and to learn some theoretic CS because it interest me a lot.

You wish.

>on
>most
>has no idea what communism is

Where did I said something wrong about communism?

I think he said once in an interview that he didn't attend classes
He just read the text books and showed up for tests
