Bill Gates calls Elon Musk’s embrace of far-right politicians abroad ‘insane shit’

Of course there are things he should be criticised for. You bring up one example here.
An example with a body count exceeding that of almost all other people on earth. That's worthy if far more than just "criticism".
If he had been poor and responsible for the same number of avoidable deaths, he would be rightly considered one of history's greatest monsters.
What I am saying is, that you should not judge him on what he did four decades ago, but how he is acting today.
And today he's acting like a goddamn monster who values property and profits over thousands if not millions of human lives. That's what I'm judging him for today.

Didn’t he short Tesla?

To be fair there are plenty of ruthless greedy people with zero morals out there but Musk is far more successful than any of them so something has to differentiate him. He might not be intelligent enough to recognise what a crigerworthy loser he is but let's not pretend he isn't smart.

not by accident, but certainly by luck, and then you can argue whether someone makes their own luck or not, musk hit the jackpot of being at the right moment at the right time and having the right skillset.
There are plenty of alternate universes out there where he became a nobody after paypal.

If he's so desperate to impress about something as inconsequential as gaming, what kind of lies is he saying about everything else ...

Smart can mean many things. My dentist is smart, but he is not well rounded. Most people aren't well rounded smart.
Musk is a good investor, and expert con artist. He is smart in those ways.

Quite a lot of americans equate money with success and ability. Elon musk must be the smartest guy because dumb people dont make money like that.
I think its reverse engineering though, americans see his worth, and work backwards claiming all his choices are genius and well thought out.

He is probably just envious he didn't get to do it himself. Or that it doesn't fit his made-up persona.

Its not just power, its ego and success. If McDonalds started paying 30$ an hour it would suddenly be a job that signaled success, despite nothing changing about the job duties.
Thats what's happening here, elon is rich so he must be smart, and now people are jealous and emulate him. The OP is right though, money or not he's an idiot.

From the sounds of it he just sucks at all games. The one game we know he plays himself is a little puzzle game that's on the level of tic tac toe. It's just a dopamine generator.
