Unfortunately, some people think Elon Musk is tantamount to a modern-day genius of Einstein levels. They listen to Musk stutter out wild ideas interrupted by awkward pauses and weird twitches and think it’s genius. He rambles about self-driving cars, living on Mars and escaping the chains of humanity to make life better for the individual. For lonely, misplaced people, the prospect of going somewhere far from where they are is exciting. And Elon Musk is the way. To shed a better light on this, we’ll survey the gross actions that define Elon Musk as a person.

An Elon Musk Character Audit

In this Impressive Elon Bubble, those inside are unprepared. Because they have lived in an echo chamber, they don’t know Elon Musk didn’t “start” Tesla. They don’t know Teslas aren’t actually “self-driving,” even though Elon Musk misstates this. His followers don’t know he’s been promising self-driving cars for years, and he has not lived up to his promises.

Moreover, his followers can’t see that his tenure as the head of DOGE, marked by overwhelming promises and minuscule results, is a microcosm of who he is as a person. As the leader of DOGE, Elon Musk ruthlessly fired people from their jobs, mocked them with chainsaws and tried to shut down government contracts to award them to himself. Elon Musk is a money-hungry, power-desperate, attention-seeking elitist racist with unoriginal ideas made worse by poor execution. He isn’t special. He’s self-centered and hardened in the middle. The mother of his most recently-born children could attest to this.

On February 14, 2025, author and conservative activist Ashley St. Clair tweeted that she and Elon Musk had a five-month-old baby together. The news shocked X, with no one knowing the owner of the social media platform had welcomed his 13th child. Depending on the source, this made St. Clair the 6th woman with whom he had children.

Like the other women, St. Clair insisted on privacy. “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause,” she wrote on X on Feb. 14 of this year. Afterward, she took aim at Elon Musk the next day.

According to PageSix.com, St. Clair claimed, “Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded” in a now-deleted tweet. She claimed that he had not publicly acknowledged their child as his own. Below is a screenshot of a retweet of that post.

As demonstrated, Elon Musk is dumpster fire of elitism, sexism and racism, who also may be here in America illegally. The records are unclear, but it’s a fact that Elon Musk came to America as an immigrant on a student visa. After getting his undergraduate degree, he dropped out of grad school. From there, he worked and started a company.

The problem is, after dropping out of college, Musk should have notified immigration. He did not as far as the records show. For all intents and purposes, as his brother even admitted, Elon Musk might have been an illegal immigrant at some point in time. However, he denies this, but records don’t lie. He should have to clarify his immigration status. You can read the full details of Musk’s sketchy immigration status here.

The Takeaway

Although Elon Musk is a businessman, he’s no genius. He has the ability to inspire curiosity, but it comes at the cost of making grand, impossible promises. While Elon Musk is lying on video about the self-driving ability of Teslas, behind the scenes, Waymo and others are already making it happen. As he complains about the cost of going to the moon, America has already done it.

Elon Musk’s ideas are not unique. For him, they are unachievable because he spends more time spinning the vision at public forums than perfecting the vision in action. All the while, he’s collecting billions of dollars in government subsidies, spewing hate and lying very convincingly. A piece of bigot by any other name would be the same.

You can see what appears to be an ongoing list of Elon Musk’s lies here.
