Seriously, anyone who thinks Musk is a "genius" or that anything he promotes has any value, pretty much deserved to be taken for a ride. Bitcoin enthusiasts can't be bothered to do even a modicum of research and are content merely to parrot the soundbites they've been fed - so we can't really shed tears when they lose their shirts. Nor can we care about fund managers who pile into what is self-evidently a bubble, merely in the hope of making money before the bubble bursts. So all in all, the fact that a clown with a natural instinct for publicity is making fools of millions of gullible people merely tells us that humanity never changes and that "there's a fool born every minute, and two around the corner to take his money."
