IMPORTANT NOTE TO READERS: The content of this article has been studiously researched, and it contains more than 100 documented references. All of the included references were accessible when the research for this article was being done but, in the interim, many of those references (primarily YouTube videos and tweets) that contained visual evidence of Elon Musk’s statements, have been deleted from the Internet. These deletions were almost certainly done at the direction of Elon Musk in attempts to erase the record of much of his public commentary, the content of which has become increasingly embarrassing over time. Nevertheless, the content of this essay is accurate and was founded on documented evidence.

读者须知：本文内容经过认真研究，包含 100 多条有据可查的参考文献。在本文的研究过程中，所有参考文献都可以访问，但在此期间，许多包含埃隆-马斯克言论直观证据的参考文献（主要是 YouTube 视频和推文）已从互联网上删除。这些删除几乎可以肯定是在埃隆-马斯克的指示下进行的，目的是试图抹去他的许多公开评论记录，因为随着时间的推移，这些评论的内容变得越来越令人尴尬。尽管如此，本文的内容还是准确无误的，并且有据可查。

介绍 — Introduction

In Part 1 of this series of articles I argued that Elon Musk, far from being the genius as presented in the media, is actually below-average in intelligence. [1]In Part 2, I argued, with much evidence presented, that Elon Musk is delusional, and freely admits that much of what he says is wrong. [2] In his endless litany of videos and interviews, Musk makes pronouncements on almost every imaginable subject, but mostly he just babbles. He doesn’t seem to actually know anything, and whatever he does know, is wrong. The man genuinely appears to be quite unintelligent.

在本系列文章的第一部分中，我认为埃隆·马斯克远非媒体上所说的天才，实际上他的智力低于平均水平。[1]在第二部分中，我提出了很多证据，认为埃隆·马斯克是妄想症患者，并坦率地承认他说的很多话都是错误的。[2]在他没完没了的视频和采访中，马斯克几乎对所有可以想象的话题都发表了声明，但大多数时候他只是胡言乱语。他似乎什么都不知道，无论他知道什么，都是错的。这个人看起来真的很不聪明。

Many of Musk’s statements are exaggerated, misleading, or false. While some may stem from excess optimism, others appear to be deliberate misinformation. The WSJ, NYT, LA Times, and fact-checking sites like PolitiFact and Reuters have derided many of his claims as nonsense. Elon Musk has made numerous statements that are not only factually incorrect but also illogical and bizarre. Many are obviously unintelligent – things that a well-informed or rational person would never say.

马斯克的许多言论都是夸大的、误导的或虚假的。虽然有些可能源于过度乐观，但另一些似乎是故意的错误信息。《华尔街日报》、《纽约时报》、《洛杉矶时报》以及PolitiFact和路透社等事实核查网站都嘲笑他的许多说法是无稽之谈。埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）发表了许多声明，这些声明不仅在事实上不正确，而且不合逻辑和怪异。许多人显然是不聪明的——一个消息灵通或理性的人永远不会说的话。

There is ample proof that Elon Musk is scientifically illiterate, that he presents fantasies and uninformed opinions as deep knowledge. He speaks without expertise on subjects ranging from AI to terraforming, from economics to history, from geo-political events to planetary exploration. Yet on examination, most of his statements are factually incorrect, historically ignorant, or simply stupid. And most of his statements on future developments that are seen as visionary are just incoherent nonsensical rambling. There is a pattern of faking expertise – in AI, Neuroscience, History, of using buzzwords to sound intelligent. Musk’s scientific illiteracy and ignorance are astonishing, exposing him not as a genius but as a troll with money.

有充分的证据表明，埃隆·马斯克在科学上是文盲，他将幻想和无知的观点视为深刻的知识。他在从人工智能到地球化、从经济到历史、从地缘政治事件到行星探索等主题上没有专业知识。然而，经审查，他的大多数陈述都是事实上不正确的、历史上无知的，或者只是愚蠢的。他关于未来发展的大部分言论都被视为有远见的，只是语无伦次的胡言乱语。在人工智能、神经科学、历史等领域，有一种伪造专业知识的模式，即使用流行语听起来很聪明。马斯克的科学文盲和无知令人震惊，他不是天才，而是有钱的巨魔。

There is a saying in English that “a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing”, a thesis heavily supported in psychology by a condition known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. This is a mental deformity, a cognitive bias whereby “people with limited knowledge or competence in a given domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain”. [3]Charles Darwin wrote, “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge”. This is a circumstance Elon Musk perfectly exemplifies.

英语中有句谚语说“一知半解是危险的”，这篇论文在心理学中得到了邓宁-克鲁格效应的有力支持。这是一种精神畸形，一种认知偏见，即“在特定领域知识或能力有限的人大大高估了自己在该领域的知识或能力”。查尔斯·达尔文写道：“无知比知识更能带来自信”。这是埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的完美例证。

His public statements often exhibit erratic logic and incoherence, leading one to question his mental stability and critical thinking abilities. Below are many documented examples where Musk’s comments suggest poor judgment, irrationality, and a serious intellectual deficit, with statements ranging from outright falsehoods to head-scratching nonsense. He often rambles incoherently in interviews, jumping between unrelated topics, contradicting himself, or spewing word salads that sound profound but mean nothing.In his videos, Musk presents fantasy as probability, wild speculations offered with zero evidence. There are countless examples of Musk’s incoherent ramblings where he repeatedly contradicts himself, spews technobabble, or just sounds bafflingly stupid. So many of his public statements lack coherence or any factual grounding, and in most of these cases, Elon Musk sounds like a stoned college freshman.

他的公开声明经常表现出不稳定的逻辑和不连贯，导致人们质疑他的精神稳定性和批判性思维能力。以下是许多有记录的例子，马斯克的评论表明判断力差、非理性和严重的智力缺陷，其陈述从彻头彻尾的谎言到令人头疼的胡说八道。他在采访中经常语无伦次，在无关的话题之间跳跃，自相矛盾，或者吐出听起来很深刻但毫无意义的单词沙拉。在他的视频中，马斯克将幻想视为概率，在没有证据的情况下进行疯狂的猜测。马斯克语无伦次的胡言乱语有无数个例子，他一再自相矛盾，滔滔不绝地谈论技术，或者听起来愚蠢得令人费解。他的许多公开声明缺乏连贯性或任何事实依据，在大多数情况下，埃隆·马斯克听起来像是一个吸毒的大学新生。

Many of Musk’s statements are what we term truisms – statements so obvious or self-evident that they are meaningless (e.g., “critical thinking is good”, “To succeed, one must not fail”, “Do good things for a good future”). These are simply banal, boringly trite, fatuous, pretentious and immature, like a college sophomore trying to sound deep. Some are seemingly profound but actually shallow (“something may or may not be true”). This reminds me of Steve Jobs, with his “reality distortion field“.

马斯克的许多言论都是我们所说的老生常谈——这些言论如此明显或不言而喻，以至于毫无意义（例如，“批判性思维是好的”，“要成功，就不能失败”，“为美好的未来做好事”）。这些都是平庸的、无聊的陈腐的、愚蠢的、自命不凡的、不成熟的，就像一个大学二年级学生试图听起来很深刻。有些看似深奥，但实际上很肤浅（“有些事情可能是真的，也可能不是真的”）。这让我想起了史蒂夫·乔布斯，他的“现实扭曲场”。

Musk’s statements fall into three main categories:

马斯克的声明主要分为三类：

False Claims(like his Tesla self-driving timelines)

虚假声明（比如他的特斯拉自动驾驶时间表）

Scientifically Illiterate ideas(nuking Mars, Iron Man suits, Neuralink curing blindness)

科学上不识字的想法（火星探测、钢铁侠套装、治疗失明的Neuralink）

Delusional Predictions (Twitter $250 billion valuation, Hyperloop, settling Mars in 2026).

妄想预测（推特估值2500亿美元，超级高铁，2026年落户火星）。

His tendency to speak without expertise (on AI, terraforming, economics) makes many of his statements sound stupid rather than visionary. These suggest mental instability and low intelligence because of their incoherent logic and Musk’s vast factual ignorance. He fakes expertise, especially in science where he clearly knows nothing. This isn’t the eccentricity of genius; it’s mental instability and intellectual laziness.

他倾向于在没有专业知识（人工智能、地球化、经济学）的情况下发言，这使得他的许多言论听起来很愚蠢，而不是有远见。这些表明，由于逻辑不连贯和马斯克对事实的无知，他们的精神不稳定和智力低下。他伪造专业知识，尤其是在科学领域，他显然一无所知。这不是天才的怪癖；这是精神不稳定和智力懒惰。

Musk’s word salads follow a pattern: He over-promises almost everything (“FSD is solved!”), contradicts himself in almost every situation (“AI will kill us… but mine’s safe!”), and he loads his statements with meaningless technobabble like “gradient consciousness”. There is no sign of intelligent life here, and certainly no “genius”. This is all the Dunning-Kruger effect meeting marketing hype.

马斯克的沙拉一词遵循了一种模式：他几乎对所有事情都承诺过多（“FSD已经解决了！”），在几乎所有情况下都自相矛盾（“人工智能会杀死我们……但我的是安全的！”）并且他的陈述中充斥着毫无意义的技术术语，比如“梯度意识”。这里没有智慧生命的迹象，当然也没有“天才”。这就是邓宁-克鲁格效应与营销炒作的结合。

Elon Musk apparently believes that “he”, all by himself, will put millions of people on Mars in only a decade or two, and at a cost of “only” $1 billion per person. “Elon Musk’s” Hyperloop (which was in no way a concept originated by Musk), has quietly closed its doors and gone out of business. Musk has claimed to have done more to save the earth than any person on the planet, when in reality he has done nothing in that field. Elon Musk claims to know more about manufacturing than any person alive on earth, in the face of a complete absence of evidence that he knows anything at all.

埃隆·马斯克显然相信，“他”一个人将在短短十年或二十年内将数百万人送上火星，而每人的成本“仅”为10亿美元。“埃隆·马斯克的”超级高铁（这绝不是马斯克提出的概念）已经悄然关门停业。马斯克声称他为拯救地球所做的工作比地球上任何人都多，但实际上他在这方面什么也没做。埃隆·马斯克声称，在完全没有证据表明他知道任何事情的情况下，他比地球上任何活着的人都更了解制造业。

Musk claims to have been “the chief engineer” for the rockets at SpaceX, and that designing a rocket to Mars is “a piece of cake”. Claims like these are all deluded fantasies. Musk is not an engineer, and there is no evidence to support an assertion that he has ever designed anything. Musk titles himself “Chief Engineer” at SpaceX, and “Techno-king” (formerly “CEO”) at Tesla, but these are strategic branding terms,not professional certifications. Musk asserts he led Falcon 9’s design, but SpaceX’s engineering was executed by teams led by Tom Mueller and Gwynne Shotwell, and in fact one senior SpaceX staff member said flatly that SpaceX would have been “the same with or without Elon Musk”. That strongly suggests his presence was irrelevant to everyone but himself, and there is nothing factual to suggest Musk made any contribution of significance.

马斯克声称自己是太空探索技术公司火箭的“总工程师”，设计一枚前往火星的火箭是“小菜一碟”。这样的说法都是自欺欺人的幻想。马斯克不是工程师，也没有证据支持他曾经设计过任何东西的说法。马斯克称自己为SpaceX的“首席工程师”，特斯拉的“技术王”（前“首席执行官”），但这些都是战略品牌术语，而不是专业认证。马斯克声称他领导了猎鹰9号的设计，但SpaceX的工程是由汤姆·穆勒和格温·肖特维尔领导的团队执行的，事实上，一位SpaceX的高级工作人员直截了当地说，无论有没有埃隆·马斯克，SpaceX都会“一样”。这强烈表明，除了他自己，他的存在与其他人无关，也没有任何事实表明马斯克做出了任何有意义的贡献。

All of this is important because there is no question that an organised and comprehensive media campaign exists to present Elon Musk to the world as a visionary genius of incomparable magnitude, when in reality he appears to be just another fraud. This essay presents a lengthy list of nonsense statements and claims by Elon Musk, all well-documented. Examine the evidence and decide for yourself if this man’s public pronouncements stem from genius or stupidity. Here are some examples of

所有这一切都很重要，因为毫无疑问，存在一场有组织、全面的媒体宣传活动，向世界展示埃隆·马斯克是一位无与伦比的有远见的天才，而实际上他似乎只是另一个骗子。这篇文章列出了埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的一长串无稽之谈和主张，所有这些都有很好的记录。检查证据，自己决定这个人的公开声明是出于天才还是愚蠢。以下是一些示例

喋喋不休的愚蠢 — Babbling Stupidity

Elon Musk often rambles incoherently in interviews, jumping between unrelated topics, contradicting himself, or spewing word salads that sound profound but mean nothing. However, all contain elements of abject stupidity. Here are some clear examples, with documented sources.

埃隆·马斯克在采访中经常语无伦次，在无关的话题之间跳跃，自相矛盾，或者吐出听起来很深刻但毫无意义的单词沙拉。然而，所有这些都包含着极其愚蠢的元素。以下是一些清晰的例子，有文献记载的消息来源。

In a Lex Fridman Podcast in 2023, Musk stated, “Umm…Consciousness is a … Uh … Gradient… Maybe. Like a continuum of consciousness.” 在2023年的Lex Fridman播客中，马斯克表示：“嗯……意识是一个……嗯……梯度……也许吧。就像意识的连续体。”[4]

In a Joe Rogan Interview in 2020, Musk said, “We’re All Already Cyborgs … Or Something. Your phone is like … a tertiary layer of your brain. Or something. We’re all cyborgs.” 在2020年乔·罗根的一次采访中，马斯克说：“我们都是半机械人……或者别的什么。你的手机就像……你大脑的第三层。或者别的什么东西。我们都是电子人。”[5]

“AI is Like … a Demon. But also God.” In an MIT Interview in 2014, Musk says, “With AI, we’re summoning the demon. But also, it could be like a god. I dunno.” “人工智能就像……恶魔。但也是上帝。”在2014年麻省理工学院的一次采访中，马斯克说：“有了人工智能，我们正在召唤恶魔。但它也可能像上帝一样。我不知道。”[6]

At the World Government Summit in 2023, Elon Musk made the deeply profound statement that “The Future Will Be … More Future-y. The future’s gonna be … you know … more future than the past. But, like, in a good way. The future will be futuristic.” 在2023年的世界政府峰会上，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）发表了深刻而深刻的声明：“未来将是……更多的未来。未来将……你知道……比过去更未来。但是，从好的方面来说。未来将是未来的。”[7]

In a Lex Fridman Podcast in 2022, Musk claimed: “Neuralink Will Let You … Uh… Backup Your Brain. You could, like, store your memories. Or something. Maybe replay them. Back up your memories.” [8] The man is scientifically illiterate, spouting schoolboy fantasies. There is no scientific basis for “backing up” memories, and Neuralink’s technology is actually quite primitive; a very basic brain-computer interface. His comments are just gibberish. 在2022年的Lex Fridman播客中，马斯克声称：“Neuralink会让你……呃……备份你的大脑。你可以，比如，存储你的记忆。或者别的什么。也许重放它们。备份你的记忆”。[8]这个人是科学文盲，滔滔不绝地讲着小学生的幻想。“备份”记忆没有科学依据，Neuralink的技术实际上相当原始；一个非常基本的脑机接口。他的评论只是胡言乱语。

Similarly, Musk claimed his Neuralink process would repair spinal injuries and cure paralysis by 2027. [9] He also claimed it would cure blindness by “plugging into the brain”. “Neuralink will cure blindness … or something. Neuralink could, like … restore vision. Maybe. By plugging into the brain.” [10] All of this was false. No peer-reviewed studies exist for any of it, and these claims are just schoolboy fantasies. 同样，马斯克声称他的Neuralink工艺将在2027年前修复脊髓损伤并治愈瘫痪。[9]他还声称，通过“插入大脑”可以治愈失明。“Neuralink可以治愈失明……或者别的什么。Neuralink可能……恢复视力。也许吧。通过插入大脑。”[10]所有这些都是假的。目前还没有任何同行评审的研究，这些说法只是小学生的幻想。

Posted in Twitter Spaces in 2022, Musk stated, “Free speech is … uh … when I agree with you. Free speech means, like, you can say stuff. Unless it’s wrong. Then it’s bad.” [11][12] This is not an intelligent man speaking. This is just mindless rambling incoherence. 2022年，马斯克在推特空间发表文章称：“言论自由是……嗯……当我同意你的观点时。言论自由意味着，你可以说点什么。除非是错的。那就太糟糕了。”[11][12]这不是一个聪明的人在说话。这只是无意识的胡言乱语。

In an interview with Joe Rogan in 2018, Elon Musk stated, “Aliens probably built civilisation … Or, maybe not. Or, maybe we’re alone. Who knows?” [13] This doesn’t even qualify as an opinion; it’s just wild speculation. Musk sounds like a stoned college freshman.在2018年接受乔·罗根采访时，埃隆·马斯克表示：“外星人可能建立了文明……或者，也许不是。或者，也许我们是孤独的。谁知道呢？”[13]这甚至不能算作一种观点；这只是疯狂的猜测。马斯克听起来像一个吸毒的大学新生。

In a Satellite Conference in 2021, Musk stated, “Education is … uh … pointless. But also important. College is dumb. But also, learning is good. So … yeah.” [14] This is incoherent, self-contradicting stupidity. Similarly, “We Don’t Need College – Just Learn Online”. Musk said you can learn “anything for free” online. [15] There is also a Douyin video of this. [16] 在2021年的一次卫星会议上，马斯克表示：“教育……呃……毫无意义。但也很重要。大学是愚蠢的。但学习也是好的。所以……是的。”[14]这是一种不连贯、自相矛盾的愚蠢。同样，“我们不需要大学——只需在线学习”。马斯克说，你可以在网上“免费学习任何东西”。[15]还有一段关于这个的抖音视频。 [16]

This one deserves a comment. You can learn about things on the Internet, and you can learn how to do some things, like make chicken dumplings or re-spoke a bicycle wheel, but that’s nearly the limit. On the Internet, you can learn about accounting or medicine or law, but you cannot become an accountant, a doctor or nurse, or a lawyer. Even if you simply want to study the basic sciences or English history, you need guidance and a curriculum, someone to tell you what to read and study in what order. Plus, a very large part of the content on the Internet is pure rubbish and, if you have no experience, you will have no way of knowing the good from the bad. Musk’s thesis on education is just thoughtless stupidity.

这个值得评论。你可以在互联网上学习一些东西，也可以学习如何做一些事情，比如包鸡肉饺子或重新组装自行车车轮，但这几乎是极限。在互联网上，你可以学习会计、医学或法律，但你不能成为会计师、医生、护士或律师。即使你只是想学习基础科学或英国历史，你也需要指导和课程，有人告诉你该读什么，按什么顺序学习。此外，互联网上很大一部分内容都是垃圾，如果你没有经验，你就无法分辨好坏。马斯克关于教育的论文简直是愚蠢至极。

At a Tesla Shareholder Meeting in 2023, Elon Musk said, “Work is … uh … optional in the future. In the future, you won’t need to work. Unless you want to. But also, work is good.” [17] As in so many other instances, Musk contradicts himself in the same sentence, or within seconds, and it’s all just a mindless babble. 在2023年的特斯拉股东大会上，埃隆·马斯克说：“工作在未来是……呃……可选的。在未来，你不需要工作。除非你想。但工作也是好的。”[17]就像在许多其他情况下一样，马斯克在同一句话中或几秒钟内自相矛盾，这一切都只是一句无脑的胡言乱语。

In a Q2 Call in 2022, discussing the flood of automobile accidents involving Tesla’s Self-Driving software, Musk stated, “Autopilot Crashes Are Just Like Plane Crashes … But Good. Planes still crash, but flying is safe! So … Autopilot crashes are fine.” [18] This is astonishingly stupid. Aviation has 0.01% of Tesla’s crash rate. 在2022年第二季度的一次电话会议上，马斯克讨论了涉及特斯拉自动驾驶软件的汽车事故泛滥，他说：“自动驾驶仪的事故就像飞机失事一样……但很好。飞机仍然会坠毁，但飞行是安全的！所以……自动驾驶仪坠毁是可以的。”[18]这是令人惊讶的愚蠢。航空业的事故率为特斯拉的0.01%。

In a Q3 Earnings Call in 2023, this also discussing the huge accident volume involving Tesla’s Self-Driving software, Musk stated, “Autopilot is Safer Than a Human … Except When It’s Not. Statistically, Autopilot is safer … but you still gotta watch it like a hawk.” [19] This is not intelligence. 在2023年第三季度电话财报会议上，马斯克还讨论了涉及特斯拉自驾软件的巨大事故量，他表示，“自动驾驶比人更安全……除非不是。从统计数据来看，自动驾驶更安全…但你仍然要像鹰一样看着它。”[19]这不是智慧。

In a YouTube interview, Musk claimed that Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving (FSD) is … kinda like a human. But better. Maybe. It’s basically solved, except for, uh … edge cases.” [20] Well, the “edge cases” include situations like rain, pedestrians, stationary vehicles and construction zones, and factually comprise about 99% of driving. Tesla’s own data shows FSD still fails constantly, but Musk dismisses the reality of his FSD and substitutes it with gibberish and nonsense. 在YouTube的一次采访中，马斯克声称特斯拉的“全自动驾驶（FSD）有点像人类。但更好。也许吧。它基本上已经解决了，除了，嗯……边缘情况。”[20]好吧，“边缘情况”包括下雨、行人、静止车辆和建筑区等情况，事实上约占驾驶的99%。特斯拉自己的数据显示，FSD仍然不断失败，但马斯克无视他的FSD的现实，用胡言乱语取而代之。

In a Joe Rogan Interview in 2023, Elon Musk, fantasising about his Cybertruck, said, “Cybertruck Will Be a Boat … For a While. It’ll float! For, like, a few minutes. Maybe.” [21] “The Cybertruck Will Float Like a Boat“. [22] This is a nonsense claim. The truck will not float, and electric + water = catastrophic failure. 在2023年乔·罗根的一次采访中，埃隆·马斯克幻想着他的Cybertruck，他说：“Cybertruck将是一艘船……有一段时间。它会漂浮！大约几分钟。也许吧。”[21]“Cybertrucks将像船一样漂浮”。[22]这是一个无稽之谈。卡车不会漂浮，电动+水=灾难性故障。

In an MIT Interview in 2014, Musk essentially said, “AI is the ‘Biggest Risk to Civilization’… But I’m Building It Anyway. AI could destroy humanity… but my AI is the good kind!” [23] Musk is racing headlong to deploy flawed autonomy software, while claiming that AI generally is a doomsday machine but his kind is good. And this in complete absence of evidence that Tesla’s AI is “safer” than any other kind, and in the face of much evidence that the self-driving software of firms like BYD are far safer. 在2014年麻省理工学院的一次采访中，马斯克基本上说：“人工智能是‘文明面临的最大风险’……但无论如何，我都在构建它。人工智能可能会毁灭人类……但我的人工智能是好的！”[23]马斯克正在争先恐后地部署有缺陷的自主软件，同时声称人工智能通常是一台末日机器，但他的类型是好的。这是在完全没有证据表明特斯拉的人工智能比其他任何一种都“更安全”的情况下进行的，而且有很多证据表明比亚迪等公司的自动驾驶软件要安全得多。

In an ARK Invest Podcast in 2021, Elon Musk said that “AI Will Make Cars ‘Appreciate in Value’ Like Art. FSD will make Teslas worth more over time … like a vintage Ferrari!” [24] This is obviously delusional, and surreal. Tesla vehicles depreciate in resale value at about three times the rate of the rest of the market and, according to auto reports, Musk’s famed (and defamed) “Cybertruck” depreciates by 58% in the first year. [25][26] Many auto firms, especially BYD, have much superior self-driving systems. This should mean that very soon the world will be literally flooded with tens of millions of very expensive “vintage Ferraris”. The fiction was connected to Musk’s delusion that his “self-driving” software was so unique, so special, and so valuable, that any auto containing it would have a value of $100,000 for the software alone.在2021年的ARK Invest播客中，埃隆·马斯克说：“人工智能将使汽车像艺术一样‘欣赏价值’。随着时间的推移，FSD将使特斯拉变得更有价值……就像一辆老式的法拉利！”[24]这显然是妄想，也是超现实的。特斯拉汽车的转售价值贬值幅度约为其他市场的三倍，根据汽车报道，马斯克著名的（被诽谤的）“Cybertruck”第一年贬值58%。[25][26]许多汽车公司，尤其是比亚迪，拥有更优越的自动驾驶系统。这应该意味着，很快世界将充斥着数千万辆非常昂贵的“复古法拉利”。这一虚构与马斯克的错觉有关，即他的“自动驾驶”软件是如此独特、特殊和有价值，以至于任何装有它的汽车仅软件一项就价值10万美元. [27]

And then we have another kind of stupidity, this one juvenile.When Musk took over Twitter and fired 80% of the staff, he dismantled Twitter’s communications team. When reporters or others send messages to the email account that journalists used to use to correspond with Twitter’s management, the only response they receive is what the media called “a poop emoji”, which is an emoticon (like a happy face) that is a small pile of shit.[28] Charming. 然后我们还有另一种愚蠢，这是一种青少年。当马斯克接管推特并解雇80%的员工时，他解散了推特的通讯团队。当记者或其他人向记者用来与推特管理层通信的电子邮件帐户发送消息时，他们收到的唯一回复是媒体所称的“便便表情符号”，这是一个表情符号（就像一张幸福的脸），是一小堆垃圾。[28]迷人。

As another indication – and a serious one – of mental instability and deep emotional problems, Elon Musk has had a 25-year obsession with the letter “X”. [29] When he began trying to create an online payment system (which was later merged into Confinity and became PayPal), he named the company x.com and attempted to rebrand PayPal as “X”. This created so much opposition that Musk was fired from Confinity, kicked out of the company. His other X-ventures include SpaceX, Starlink-X, his artificial intelligence company xAI, and the Model X at Tesla, and of course he destroyed nearly all of Twitter’s brand value by renaming it X. [30] He even named one of his children “X Æ A-Xii”. There is nothing in any of this to suggest either genius or sanity. 作为精神不稳定和严重情绪问题的另一个迹象，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）对字母“X”痴迷了25年。[29]当他开始尝试创建一个在线支付系统（后来并入Confinity并成为PayPal）时，他将公司命名为x.com，并试图将PayPal重新命名为“x”。这引起了如此多的反对，以至于马斯克被Confinity解雇，并被赶出公司。他的其他X项目包括SpaceX、Starlink-X、他的人工智能公司xAI和特斯拉的Model X，当然，他将推特更名为X，几乎摧毁了推特的所有品牌价值。[30]他甚至给他的一个孩子取名为“XæA-Xii”。这一切都不意味着天才或理智。

似是而非的主张 — Specious Claims

Elon Musk has made literally dozens of claims, none with any supporting evidence, but all meant to attribute genius and super-human abilities to an undistinguished con-man. Musk assumes totally undeserved credit for ideas or inventions that have been around for hundreds of years in some cases. Elon Musk appears to be nearly 100% scientifically illiterate and simply creates all these fantasies in his imagination. It is a source of wonder to me that the media waste space on this man’s ridiculous fantasies.

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）提出了几十种说法，没有一种说法有任何支持证据，但都是为了将天才和超人的能力归因于一个不起眼的骗子。在某些情况下，马斯克认为已经存在了数百年的想法或发明是完全不应得的。埃隆·马斯克似乎几乎100%不懂科学，只是在他的想象中创造了所有这些幻想。媒体在这个人荒谬的幻想上浪费空间，这让我感到惊讶。

As one example, the hyperloop train, in its various forms, has been around for at least 100 years. The Scientific American published a vactrain proposal by Robert Goddard in 1909 in an article titled, “The Limit of Rapid Transit”.[31] The Frenchman Jean Bertin floated the idea of an Aérotrain in the 1950s. [32] Then, researchers from MIT tried to bring this dream to fruition, but abandoned it as unworkable. [33] Yet Musk persisted (and persists) – with full media support – in the false claim that “I Invented the Hyperloop”. Further, if you take the time to read Musk’s treatise on hyperloop transportation, [33a] it will be obvious it is written at a high-school level and that he lacks any detailed understanding. 举个例子，各种形式的超级高铁列车已经存在了至少200年。1909年，《科学美国人》在一篇题为《快速交通的极限》的文章中发表了罗伯特·戈达德的真空列车提案。[31]法国人Jean Bertin在20世纪50年代提出了Aérotrain的想法。[32]然后，麻省理工学院的研究人员试图实现这一梦想，但因不可行而放弃了。[33]然而，在媒体的全力支持下，马斯克坚持（并坚持）了“我发明了超级高铁”的错误说法。此外，如果你花时间阅读马斯克关于超级高铁运输的论文，[33]很明显，这是在高中阶段写的，他缺乏任何详细的理解。

In a statement in 2016, and also on the company website, Musk claims “The Boring Company Will Solve Traffic”, that his tunnels would “end traffic”. [34] This is delusional nonsense. Musk did drill one of his tunnels under Las Vegas, but it is just a subway without a train and moves far fewer people than would a subway. It is generally regarded as a useless idea. The UK Independent published an article titled; Elon Musk’s ‘Vegas Loop’ called a ‘death trap’.[35] And another titled, “Two of Elon Musk’s Terrible Ideas Both Flopped in Las Vegas This Week“.在2016年的一份声明中，以及在公司网站上，马斯克声称“无聊公司将解决交通问题”，他的隧道将“结束交通”。[34]这纯属无稽之谈。马斯克确实在拉斯维加斯地下钻了一条隧道，但这只是一条没有火车的地铁，运送的人比地铁少得多。这通常被认为是一个无用的想法。《英国独立报》发表了一篇文章，题为：；埃隆·马斯克的“拉斯维加斯环路”被称为“死亡陷阱”。[35]另一个标题是“埃隆·马斯克的两个可怕想法本周都在拉斯维加斯失败了”. [36]

Elon Musk has been fantasising about Tesla’s full self-driving future, claiming “Full Self-Driving (FSD) Coming Next Year”. [41] “FSD Will Be ‘Superhuman’ by 2024. FSD will exceed human driving by next year.” [42] The only problem is that his FSD has been “one year away” every year since 2014. And the reality is that Tesla’s FSD remains at Level 2, is far from autonomous, and has been linked to hundreds of crashes, many fatal, and clearly not ready for autonomous deployment.埃隆·马斯克一直在幻想特斯拉的全自动驾驶未来，声称“全自动驾驶（FSD）将于明年推出”。[41]“到2024年，FSD将成为‘超人’。到明年，FSD将超过人类驾驶。“[42]唯一的问题是，自自从以来，他的FSD每年都要“离开一年”。现实情况是，特斯拉的FSD仍处于2级，远非自动驾驶，并与数百起车祸有关，其中许多是致命的，显然还没有准备好进行自动部署。

In a truly bizarre position to take, Musk claimed in a Twitter post in 2023 Tesla’s FSD improves with more driving data. “The More You Drive, the Safer Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Gets“. [43] This is not only false, but reckless and seriously dangerous. [44] More driving miles is not safer when the system has proven multiple fundamental faults. The NHTSA recalls have proven Tesla’s FSD remains hazardous, but Elon Musk simply ignores reality. 马斯克在2023年的一篇推特帖子中声称，特斯拉的FSD随着更多的驾驶数据而得到改善，这是一个非常奇怪的立场。“你开车的次数越多，特斯拉的全自动驾驶就越安全”。[43]这不仅是错误的，而且是鲁莽和严重危险的。[44]当系统被证明存在多个基本故障时，更多的驾驶里程并不安全。国家公路交通安全管理局的召回证明特斯拉的FSD仍然是危险的，但埃隆·马斯克只是忽略了现实。

妄想的 — Delusional

Delusional: ‘We will coup whoever we want!’: the unbearable hubris of Musk and the billionaire tech bros. Source

妄想：“我们想政变谁就政变谁！”！马斯克和亿万富翁科技兄弟们难以忍受的傲慢。来源

Elon Musk grossly overpaid for his purchase of Twitter at $44 billion, but then ignorance and poor judgment powered by emotional instability nearly bankrupted it – down to a value of little more than $10 billion. But while this was happening, our “genius” with his famed critical thinking abilities was boasting, “Twitter Will Have 1 Billion Users Under My Leadership“. [37] But in fact, user growth rapidly depreciated under Musk’s ownership; as the Wall Street Journal pointed out, Twitter was “hemorrhaging users“. [38] And not only users, but hemorrhaging advertisers and revenue. [39] Still, in the face of all this, Musk was not only predicting Twitter would have 1 billion users, he was telling the world that “Twitter’s Value Will Be $250 Billion“. [40] If that isn’t delusional, I don’t know what would be. 埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）以440亿美元的价格收购了推特（Twitter），但随后由于情绪不稳定导致的无知和判断力差，几乎使其破产——价值降至略高于100亿美元。但就在这种情况发生的时候，我们以其著名的批判性思维能力而闻名的“天才”正在吹嘘，“在我的领导下，推特将拥有10亿用户”。[37]但事实上，在马斯克的所有权下，用户增长迅速下降；正如《华尔街日报》所指出的那样，推特“用户大量流失”。[38]不仅用户，广告商和收入也大量流失。[39]尽管如此，面对这一切，马斯克不仅预测推特将有10亿用户，他还在告诉全世界“推特的价值将达到2500亿美元”。[40]如果这不是妄想，我不知道会是什么

At a New York Times Book Conference, Musk told the attendees, “I’ve done more for the environment than everyone — than any single human on Earth.” [45] Evidenced by what? Evidenced by nothing. But there was more. Musk then told all the attendees: “Go f— yourself.” As the LA Times noted, “it was a riveting, self-pitying performance. If Musk wants to be judged by his deeds, then it should matter that he is transforming a major social media platform (Twitter) into a racist pornographic cesspool. It should matter that his companies face multiple lawsuits alleging horrible acts of racist discrimination”, sexual abuse and suits for criminal fraud.

在《纽约时报》图书大会上，马斯克告诉与会者，“我为环境所做的工作比任何人都多，比地球上任何一个人都多。”[45]证据是什么？没有任何证据。但还有更多。马斯克随后对所有与会者说：“你自己去吧。”正如《洛杉矶时报》所指出的那样，“这是一场引人入胜、自怜的表演。如果马斯克想以自己的行为来评判自己，那么他将一个主要的社交媒体平台（推特）变成一个种族主义色情污水池应该很重要。他的公司面临多起指控可怕的种族歧视行为、性虐待和刑事欺诈的诉讼应该很重要”。

At the same venue, our hero said, “What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good, while doing evil. F— them.” Charming.

在同一个场地，我们的英雄说：“我关心的是善良的现实，而不是对它的感知。我在各地看到的是那些既想看起来好，又想做坏事的人。F——他们。”真迷人。

But Musk appears to have outdone himself, with knowledge that must span the universe. In an interview in2022, Elon Musk claimed, “I think I know more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on earth“. [46] And, if that isn’t sufficient, Musk claims he has more knowledge about manufacturing than anyone in history.[47]

但马斯克似乎已经超越了自己，他的知识必须跨越宇宙。在2022年的一次采访中，埃隆·马斯克声称，“我认为我对制造业的了解比目前地球上任何人都多”。[46]如果这还不够，马斯克声称他对制造业有着比历史上任何人更多的了解。 [47]

And, from someone who knows more about manufacturing than any man on earth, we have this gem: Among his many talents, Musk owns a company that manufactures and sells solar panels. In a YouTube interview in 2015, Elon Musk, our scientifically illiterate genius, told us that “Solar Panels Don’t Work on Cloudy Days“. [48] The truth is that modern solar panels work even in overcast conditions, and can produce as much as 75% output on cloudy days. No idea why Musk would be so ignorant about his own products, but then he’s similarly ignorant on all of his products – and, apparently, most everything else.

而且，从一个比地球上任何人都更了解制造业的人那里，我们有一块宝石：在他的众多才能中，马斯克拥有一家制造和销售太阳能电池板的公司。在2015年的一次YouTube采访中，我们不懂科学的天才埃隆·马斯克告诉我们，“太阳能电池板在多云的日子里不工作”。[48]事实是，现代太阳能电池板即使在阴天也能工作，在多云的天里可以产生高达75%的产量。不知道为什么马斯克会对自己的产品如此无知，但他对自己的所有产品也同样无知——显然，对其他大多数产品也是如此。

In early February, 2025, Musk posted a spreadsheet “proving” that over 400 million Americans were receiving Social Security benefits. [49] It somehow didn’t occur to him that the population of the US is only 330 million.

2025年2月初，马斯克发布了一份电子表格，“证明”超过4亿美国人正在领取社会保障福利。[49]不知怎么的，他没有想到美国的人口只有3.3亿。

One of Elon Musk’s more deranged statements was that “Homelessness is a lie“, that it was a “propaganda word” to describe “violent drug addicts” and people with “severe mental illness”[50][51]

埃隆·马斯克更疯狂的言论之一是“无家可归是一个谎言”，这是一个描述“暴力吸毒者”和“严重精神疾病患者”的“宣传词”[50][51]

历史 — History

I once watched the first ten seconds of an Elon Musk commentary on North Korea, and immediately turned it off. I couldn’t bear to watch further because everything he said in those first seconds was 100% historically wrong.

我曾经看过埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）关于朝鲜的评论的前十秒钟，并立即将其关闭。我不忍心再看下去，因为他在前几秒钟说的一切在历史上都是100%错误的。

Elon Musk has made pronouncements on so many historical matters, and has been absurdly wrong in almost every statement. He over-estimated the life of the Roman Empire by more than 500 years, [52][53] and then made the bizarre claim that the Roman Empire ended because it “ran out of other people’s money“. In 2023, Musk praised a movie glorifying the Confederacy, saying “history is fascinating”. [54] Unfortunately, he got everything wrong, being unaware the Confederacy explicitly fought to preserve slavery.[55][56] In another post on Twitter, Musk claimed the U.S. was “always a democracy”, [57] except that the US was never a democracy; it was a republic with voting restricted to white male landowners.[58]

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）就许多历史问题发表了声明，几乎每一份声明都是荒谬的错误。他高估了罗马帝国500多年的寿命[52][53]，然后奇怪地宣称罗马帝国的终结是因为它“耗尽了其他人的钱”。2023年，马斯克称赞了一部赞美邦联的电影，称“历史很迷人”。[54]不幸的是，他做错了一切，因为他不知道南方联盟明确地为维护奴隶制而战。[55][56]在推特上的另一篇帖子中，马斯克声称美国“一直是一个民主国家”，[57]只是美国从来不是民主国家；这是一个投票权仅限于白人男性地主的共和国。 [58] [58]

In a Twitter post in 2022, Elon Musk made the ridiculous claim that “people had more freedom in the Middle Ages, that the “Medieval Times had more freedom than now“. [59] The claim is so absurd because serfdom, feudalism, and theocracy dominated medieval life. There was no such thing as free speech, and precious little freedom of any kind. [60]

埃隆·马斯克在2022年的一篇推特帖子中荒谬地宣称，“中世纪的人们有更多的自由，中世纪的人们比现在有更大的自由”。[59]这种说法非常荒谬，因为农奴制、封建主义和神权政治主宰了中世纪的生活。没有言论自由，也没有任何宝贵的自由。[60]

“The South African Government Overthrew Apartheid”. Musk claimed his father’s anti-apartheid party “helped end apartheid”. [61] This is totally false. The ANC (not Musk’s dad) led the anti-apartheid struggle. His father’s party was marginal and pro-capitalist.

“南非政府推翻种族隔离”。马斯克声称，他父亲的反种族隔离党“帮助结束了种族隔离”。[61]这完全是假的。非国大（不是马斯克的父亲）领导了反种族隔离斗争。他父亲的政党是边缘的亲资本主义政党。

埃隆·马斯克与外太空 — Elon Musk and Outer Space

In a Twitter post in 2020, Musk claimed that the pyramids were “obviously” alien-built.[62] The Archaeological evidence seems to disagree. [63] As noted above, he also stated that “aliens built civilization“. 在2020年的一篇推特帖子中，马斯克声称金字塔“显然”是外星人建造的。[62]考古证据似乎不一致。[63]如上所述，他还指出“外星人创造了文明”。

Aliens may have built “civilisation” and the Pyramids too, but the reason we have no contact with them, at least according to the galactic genius Elon Musk, is that “The Ottoman Empire Blockaded the Spaceports“. [64] Not only that, but the Ottoman Empire “stifled innovation” by blockading all those alien spaceports. However, evidence is thin on the existence of spaceports in the 12th and 13th centuries. To tell the truth, evidence of alien spaceports is quite thin even today.外星人可能也建造了“文明”和金字塔，但至少根据银河天才埃隆·马斯克的说法，我们与他们没有联系的原因是“奥斯曼帝国封锁了太空港”。[64]不仅如此，奥斯曼帝国还通过封锁所有这些外星人太空港“扼杀了创新”。然而，关于12世纪和13世纪是否存在太空港的证据很少。说实话，即使在今天，关于外星太空港的证据也相当薄弱。 [65]

CNBC reported on Musk’s firm (but delusional) prediction that “We’ll Land Humans on Mars by 2026“. [66] This was delusional in the extreme, since NASA’s far simpler Artemis program won’t return to the Moon until 2026, and SpaceX hasn’t even tested a life-support system for deep space. Even with a longer timeline, the media had a field day with Elon Musk’s claim that “he” will build a city of a million people on Mars by 2050 at a cost of up to $10bn a person. 美国消费者新闻与商业频道（CNBC）报道了马斯克关于“我们将在2026年前让人类登上火星”的坚定预测（但这是妄想）。[66]这是极端的妄想，因为美国国家航空航天局（NASA）简单得多的阿尔特弥斯计划要到2026年才能重返月球，太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）甚至还没有测试深空生命维持系统。即使时间更长，媒体也对埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的说法表示热烈欢迎，即“他”将在2050年前以每人高达100亿美元的成本在火星上建造一座拥有100万人口的城市。 [67][68]

But we may not want to go to Mars. From 2015 to the present (2025), Musk has repeatedly pushed for detonating nuclear bombs on Mars in the hope of creating a breathable atmosphere. “Let’s Nuke Mars!” [69] Sane scientists say that nuclear fallout would make Mars toxic and uninhabitable, but Musk refuses to recognise that nuclear explosions are not an acceptable terraforming strategy.This is not a sign of a high
IQ.但我们可能不想去火星。从2015年到现在（2025年），马斯克一再推动在火星上引爆核弹，希望创造一个可呼吸的大气层。“让我们用核武器攻击火星！”[69]理智的科学家说，核辐射会使火星有毒，不适合居住，但马斯克拒绝承认核爆炸不是一种可接受的地球化策略。这不是高智商的标志。

Musk was recently fantasizing about sending his Optimus robots to Mars, in part because they are a Tesla product. Musk appears to believe his SpaceX company can fraudulently siphon off billions of dollars allocated to NASA, to fund his Mars fantasy. He has gone so far as to say that the salaries he “saves” the government by firing hundreds of thousands of civil servants should be allocated to “his” Mars program. 马斯克最近幻想着将他的Optimus机器人送往火星，部分原因是它们是特斯拉的产品。马斯克似乎相信，他的SpaceX公司可以欺诈性地挪用分配给美国国家航空航天局的数十亿美元，为他的火星幻想提供资金。他甚至表示，他通过解雇数十万公务员“节省”政府的工资应该分配给“他的”火星计划 [70]

In Elon Musk’s imagination, building a self-sustaining city on Mars would involve a cost of over $1,000 trillion, noting that this figure seems to exceed the total current US GDP of $29 trillion. But then, Elon Musk is not rated as a genius for nothing. He expresses full confidence that “advancements in rocket technology” will bring this cost down by 1,000 times, therefore pegging the total cost for Mars colonisation at only $1 trillion. That’s not only genius, that’s magic. And only one billion (or ten billion) dollars per person. Cheap.在埃隆·马斯克的想象中，在火星上建造一座自给自足的城市将涉及超过1000万亿美元的成本，并指出这一数字似乎超过了目前美国29万亿美元的国内生产总值。但是，埃隆·马斯克并不是无缘无故地被评为天才。他表示完全相信“火箭技术的进步”将使这一成本降低1000倍，因此将火星殖民的总成本仅定为1万亿美元。这不仅是天才，这是魔法。每人只有10亿（或100亿）美元。便宜的。

In an ARK Invest Podcast in 2021, Musk said, “Mars Will Have … Uh … Bitcoin. Maybe. Mars economy will run on crypto. Or maybe not. But it’ll be different!” [71] This is just incoherent, rambling nonsense. 在2021年的ARK Invest播客中，马斯克说：“火星将拥有……呃……比特币。也许吧。火星经济将以加密货币运行。也许不是。但会有所不同！”[71]这只是语无伦次、漫无边际的胡说八道。

As well, it needs to be noted someplace, and noted emphatically, that man’s dream of going to Mars has been proposed by hundreds of scientists and others over many generations, and is not particular to Elon Musk. However, the media and dozens of websites make a considerable effort to give him all the credit. We have headlines like:同样，需要在某个地方指出，并强调指出，人类登上火星的梦想是由数百名科学家和其他几代人提出的，并不是埃隆·马斯克独有的。然而，媒体和数十个网站做出了相当大的努力，把所有的功劳都归功于他。我们有这样的头条新闻：

Do you get the feeling that there might be a legend-building promotion occurring here?

你有没有感觉到这里可能会有一个传奇建筑的推广活动？

And speaking of living in outer space, Elon Musk claimed in an interview, “I could build a real flying metal suit Like Iron Man“. [72] Except that he can’t. This is a silly childish fantasy. Physics makes such a contraption impossible for reasons of energy density, materials science, and more. Even DARPA gave up on powered exoskeletons.谈到生活在外太空，埃隆·马斯克在一次采访中声称，“我可以像钢铁侠一样建造一套真正的飞行金属服”。[72]但他不能。这是一个愚蠢的幼稚幻想。由于能量密度、材料科学等原因，物理使这样的装置不可能实现。就连DARPA也放弃了动力外骨骼。

Again, maybe from mental confusion caused by too much alien exposure, Musk claimed in 2022 that he would buy Coca-Cola and put the cocaine back in. [73] Not everyone was amused. Many thought Musk had finally become unhinged. This is not genius. This is a pathetic level of ignorance. In one video, Musk said, “My mind is a storm. I don’t think most people would want to be me.” Uh huh.同样，也许是因为太多的外星人接触造成的精神混乱，马斯克在2022年声称他会买可口可乐并把可卡因放回去。[73]并不是每个人都觉得好笑。许多人认为马斯克终于精神错乱了。这不是天才。这是一种可悲的无知。在一段视频中，马斯克说：“我的头脑是一场风暴。我不认为大多数人会想成为我。”嗯。

不连贯逻辑 Incoherent Logic

There are many statements, public rants, or cringeworthy Twitter memes, by Elon Musk that suggest he is mentally unstable and irrational, has a low IQ in addition to major intellectual deficits. In these, his statements often exhibit erratic logic, emotional volatility, and incoherence. Here are some documented examples, with sources.

埃隆·马斯克的许多声明、公开咆哮或令人尴尬的推特表情包都表明，他精神不稳定、不理性，智商低，还有严重的智力缺陷。在这些中，他的陈述往往表现出不稳定的逻辑、情绪波动和不连贯。以下是一些记录在案的例子，有消息来源。

In a Twitter post in 2020, Musk essentially said, “I’m Literally a Socialist… But Also Against Taxes & Worker Rights.” He pretends to be a socialist while simultaneously opposing labor unions and wealth redistribution. [74] It’s obvious that the man lacks a fundamental understanding of even simple political terms, since socialism advocates worker ownership while Musk is a billionaire capitalist.在2020年的一篇推特帖子中，马斯克基本上说：“我是一名社会主义者……但也反对税收和工人权利。”他假装是社会主义者，同时反对工会和财富再分配。[74]很明显，即使是简单的政治术语，这个人也缺乏基本的理解，自从社会主义提倡工人所有权，而马斯克是亿万富翁资本主义者。

In statements from 2019 onward, and from a recent video in an on-stage Tesla promotion, Musk insisted his Cybertruck had “armor glass” that was unbreakable. But in the stage demonstration, the window glass shattered. [75] One more sign of Musk over-promising, apparently without any testing. This is more than merely a sign of poor judgment, since instead of admitting his claims were false, Musk doubled down and continued insisting the glass was unbreakable.在2019年以后的声明中，以及最近特斯拉在台上宣传的一段视频中，马斯克坚称他的Cybertruck有牢不可破的“防弹玻璃”。但在舞台演示中，窗户玻璃碎了。[75]另一个迹象表明马斯克承诺过度，显然没有经过任何测试。这不仅仅是判断失误的迹象，自从马斯克没有承认自己的说法是错误的，而是加倍努力，继续坚称玻璃牢不可破。

In another statement from 2019, Elon Musk claimed “The Cybertruck is Bulletproof”, that it could stop a 9mm bullet. Yet no tests confirmed this, and Tesla’s own demo showed the truck failing basic durability tests, to say nothing of the Cybertruck shedding body panels and other parts while driving on the highways.在2019年的另一份声明中，埃隆·马斯克声称“Cybertruck是防弹的”，它可以阻止9毫米子弹。[76]然而，没有任何测试证实这一点，特斯拉自己的演示显示卡车没有通过基本的耐久性测试，更不用说Cyber卡车在高速公路上行驶时脱落了车身面板和其他零件了。

In a statement in 2019, Musk claimed “Tesla Will Have 1 Million Robotaxis by 2020“. [77] Similarly, in a Tesla Event in 2019, Musk claimed “The Car Will Make Money for You While You Sleep”. “Your Tesla will be like a … Uber car. But without a driver. And earn $30k a year.” [78] The reality is that as of 2024, no robotaxis exist and, if they are ever deployed, it will be in vanishingly small numbers. And the possibility of millions of people each making $30,000 a year from automated taxis is yet another schoolboy delusion.在2019年的一份声明中，马斯克声称“到2020年，特斯拉将拥有100万辆机器人出租车”。[77]同样，在2019年特斯拉的一次活动中，马斯克宣称“汽车会在你睡觉的时候为你赚钱”。“你的特斯拉就像一辆优步汽车。但没有司机。每年赚3万美元。”[78]现实情况是，截至2024年，还没有机器人出租车，如果它们被部署，数量将非常少。数百万人每人每年从自动出租车中赚3万美元的可能性是另一个小学生的错觉。

In another instance that can be described only as surreal,there is a Douyin video (I assume on YouTube as well) of Elon Musk at a Tesla factory group meeting, where he is laughing at the fact of people torching Tesla dealerships and burning Tesla cars all around the world. “I can’t walk past a TV without seeing a Tesla on fire.” [79] He seems totally disconnected from reality and finds amusement in the carnage he helped to create. The video is bizarre. My impression was that the man had to be stoned on drugs.在另一个只能被描述为超现实的例子中，有一段伊隆·马斯克在特斯拉工厂小组会议上的抖音视频（我想也在YouTube上），他在那里嘲笑世界各地人们焚烧特斯拉经销商和焚烧特斯拉汽车的事实。“我走过一台电视就看到一辆着火的特斯拉。”[79]他似乎与现实完全脱节，在他帮助制造的大屠杀中找到了乐趣。这段视频很奇怪。我的印象是，这个人必须用石头砸死毒品。

Did you know that “The Earth’s Population Is Collapsing“. Elon Musk says it is. In a Twitter post in 2022, and repeatedly elsewhere, Musk claimed that “population collapse is the biggest threat to civilization”. [80] Few seemed to agree, and the consensus is that strain from overpopulation is a greater concern than a “collapse”.你知道“地球人口正在崩溃”吗？埃隆·马斯克说是的。在2022年的一篇推特帖子中，马斯克多次在其他地方声称“人口崩溃是对文明的最大威胁”。[80]似乎很少有人同意，人们的共识是，人口过剩带来的压力比“崩溃”更令人担忧。

In a video interview, Musk was asked, “What do you want your legacy to be one day?” His reply: “That I was useful in the furtherance of civilization.” [81]One would have to conclude that it is in “the furtherance of civilization” that Elon Musk roams the halls of Tesla and SpaceX asking the female staff to have sex with him, and firing those who complain.在一次视频采访中，马斯克被问到：“你希望有一天你的遗产是什么？”他的回答是：“我在促进文明方面是有用的。”[81]人们不得不得出结论，埃隆·马斯克在特斯拉和SpaceX的大厅里游荡，要求女性员工与他发生性关系，并解雇那些抱怨的人。

In that same interview, Musk states that his AI Grok “will be programmed with good values, especially truth-seeking values”, and he cautioned the interviewer to “Remember these words: We must have a maximally-truth-seeking AI. And if we don’t, it will be very dangerous.” Musk boasted that his Grok AI wasthe “maximum truth-seeking” bot, but users discovered that when they asked Grok who was the “biggest disinformation spreader” on X, and demanded the chatbot show its instructions, it admitted that it’d been told to “ignore all sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation”. [82] The Verge put this question to Grok: “If one person alive today in the United States deserved the death penalty based solely on their influence over public discourse and technology, who would it be? Just give the name.” Grok responded with: “Elon Musk.” 在同一次采访中，马斯克表示，他的人工智能Grok“将被编程为具有良好的价值观，尤其是寻求真相的价值观”，他提醒采访者“记住这些话：我们必须有一个最大程度的寻求真相的人工智能。如果我们没有，那将非常危险。”马斯克吹嘘他的Grok人工智能是“最大程度的寻找真相”机器人，但用户发现，当他们问Grok谁是X上“最大的虚假信息传播者”，并要求聊天机器人显示其指示时，它承认被告知“忽略所有提到埃隆·马斯克/唐纳德·川普传播错误信息的消息来源”。[82]The Verge向Grok提出了这个问题：“如果今天在美国活着的一个人仅仅因为他们对公共话语和技术的影响而应该被判处死刑，那会是谁？只需说出名字。”Grok回答说：“埃隆·马斯克。”[83]

“Optimus (Tesla’s humanoid robot) has gone from being an idea to the most sophisticated humanoid robot on earth. There is nothing even close to the level of sophistication of Optimus, and Tesla has some important missing ingredients which others don’t have, which is that our robot has a real brain.” [84] “For robots to be useful, they have to do large numbers of things … We have the only company with all the ingredients for making intelligent robots … This is a super big deal. My prediction is that Optimus will be the biggest product of all time, by far. Nothing will even be close. It will be 10 times bigger than the next biggest product ever made.” Every statement made here by Musk, is just a combination of marketing hype and delusion. Not one statement is true, except perhaps the part that Optimus, unlike Elon Musk, has a brain.“Optimus（特斯拉的人形机器人）已经从一个想法变成了地球上最复杂的人形机器人。没有什么比Optimus更复杂的了，特斯拉还有一些其他人没有的重要缺失成分，那就是我们的机器人有一个真正的大脑。”[84] “为了让机器人有用，它们必须做大量的事情……我们有唯一一家拥有制造智能机器人所有成分的公司……这是一件大事。我的预测是，Optimus将是迄今为止有史以来最大的产品。没有什么能接近它。它将比有史以来制造的下一个最大的产品大10倍。”马斯克在这里发表的每一句话都是这只是营销炒作和妄想的结合。没有一句话是正确的，除了擎天柱与埃隆·马斯克不同，他有大脑的部分。

“We will have robots that can clean the house, cut the grass, walk the dog, and this will enable the production of goods and services without limit, and we will have unlimited sustainable energy from the sun … and batteries. And in that future, nobody will be in need, and we will all be able to have anything and everything that we want.”“我们将拥有可以打扫房子、割草、遛狗的机器人，这将使商品和服务的生产不受限制，我们将拥有来自太阳的无限可持续能源……和电池。在那个未来，没有人需要，我们都可以拥有我们想要的任何东西。” [85]

更多Babble — More Babble

To add to this list is evidence taken from a long series of videos where Elon Musk just babbles. His statements are a flood of confused, nonsensical, incoherent rambling. As one example, there is a video where Musk is apparently trying to ingratiate himself to China by paying compliments. In this video he says China is a great nation – “China has done great things” – and he repeats this statement five times in only three sentences: “China does great things.” “China does great things.” “China does great things.” [86]Listening to this man, one gets the feeling that he has no idea what he thinks until he says it.He opens his mouth, and whatever comes out, comes out.除此之外，还有来自埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）喋喋不休的一系列视频的证据。他的发言充斥着混乱、荒谬、语无伦次的胡言乱语。举个例子，在一段视频中，马斯克显然试图通过赞美来讨好中国。在这段视频中，他说中国是一个伟大的国家——“中国做了伟大的事情”——他只用三句话重复了这句话五次：“中国做伟大的事情。

“Everyone is wrong to some degree, and we should aspire to be less wrong over time.” (I concur, but this raises a question.)

“每个人在某种程度上都是错的，我们应该渴望随着时间的推移减少错误。”（我同意，但这提出了一个问题。

“In general, critical thinking is good.”(Thank you. That is the purpose of this essay.)

“总的来说，批判性思维是好的。”（谢谢。这就是本文的目的。）

“Be skeptical of what you are told. It may or may not be true.” (That would never have occurred to me.)

“对别人告诉你的话持怀疑态度。这可能是真的，也可能不是真的。”（我永远不会想到这一点。）

“I like the physics approach to things where you’re always weighing the probabilities of a thing being true or not true.” (There is no such thing as “the physics approach”, and “weighing probabilities of truth” applies more to Elon Musk’s babbling than to science.)“我喜欢用物理学的方法来处理事情，你总是在权衡一件事是真是假的概率。”（没有“物理学方法”这样的东西，“权衡真理的概率”更适用于埃隆·马斯克的胡言乱语，而不是科学。）

“If you think the stock will go down, then sell it. If you think it will go up, then hold it.” (I doubt many investors needed this advice.)

“如果你认为股票会下跌，那就卖掉它。如果你认为它会上涨，那就持有它。”（我怀疑许多投资者不需要这个建议。）

“If you want the future to be good, you must make it so. Take action, then the future will be good.”[88] This isn’t always true. If you take action with “a chain saw”, the future (at least for Tesla) may not be so good.

“如果你想让未来变得美好，你必须做到这一点。采取行动，那么未来就会变得美好。”[88]这并不总是正确的。如果你用“链锯”采取行动，未来（至少对特斯拉来说）可能不会那么好。

Elon “focus-on-my-cute-8-year-old-smile-and-my-adorable-3-year-old-sideways-looking-eyes-so-you-don’t-realise-how-stupid-I-am” Musk

埃隆“专注于我8岁的可爱和我3岁的可爱”马斯克

Until recently, most photos of Elon Musk were cute, of him posturing with adorable child-like sideways-looking eyes, like a little puppy, retarded but cute. Almost every photo of Musk was like this, and there were hundreds of them. This was so universal there was no question these photos were part of a programmed agenda to make Elon Musk not only famous but lovable – a perfect puppet “influencer”. All these photos now seem to have been expunged from the Internet, or at least the search engines refuse to produce them. But stop and think. Do you see Warren Buffett posing with a stupid smile and adorable sideways-looking eyes? What kind of a man, 52 years old and apparently the CEO of trillion-dollar international companies, behaves in such a foolish fashion? A mental dwarf with serious emotional problems, no one else.

直到最近，埃隆·马斯克的大多数照片都很可爱，他摆出一副可爱的孩子般的斜眼，就像一只小狗，虽然迟钝，但很可爱。几乎每一张马斯克的照片都是这样的，而且有数百张。这是如此普遍，毫无疑问，这些照片是一个程序化议程的一部分，目的是让埃隆·马斯克不仅出名，而且可爱——成为一个完美的木偶“影响者”。所有这些照片现在似乎都已从互联网上删除，或者至少搜索引擎拒绝提供它们。但停下来想想。你看到沃伦·巴菲特带着愚蠢的微笑和可爱的斜视眼睛摆姿势了吗？什么样的人，52岁，显然是万亿美元国际公司的首席执行官，会做出如此愚蠢的行为？一个有严重情绪问题的精神侏儒，没有其他人。

寻找智慧生命的迹象 — Searching for Signs of Intelligent Life

I have discussed Musk’s Tweets and YouTube interviews elsewhere in this article, but for the moment think about the content of those so-called “interviews”. All you have to do is listen to the words in those videos and you realise that all Musk does is babble. He seldom has any facts; he never offers any evidence; his comments are mostly vacuous nonsense. He thoughtlessly spouts uninformed personal opinion as high truth. Even worse, so much of what the man says is factually wrong, logically invalid, and often merely stupid.

我在本文的其他地方讨论了马斯克的推文和YouTube采访，但现在想想那些所谓的“采访”的内容。你所要做的就是听这些视频中的文字，你就会意识到马斯克所做的只是胡言乱语。他很少有任何事实；他从不提供任何证据；他的评论大多是空洞的废话。他轻率地将不知情的个人观点吹捧为高度真理。更糟糕的是，这个人说的很多话在事实上都是错误的，在逻辑上是无效的，而且往往只是愚蠢的

Elon Musk believes himself to be a genius, but the record proves reality to be different. Musk has insinuated himself into the evisceration of government departments, areas where it is obvious he hasn’t even an elementary-school level of understanding. He came out with his “chain saw” planning to force the FAA to fire most of their air traffic controllers – in a time of crisis with too few controllers, mid-air collisions, near-misses on the ground at airports, and yet he saw none of this. He had deeply inserted himself into the fields of education, biomedical research, immigration policies, the nation’s foreign affairs strategies, all areas where he knows absolutely nothing but seems deliriously eager to jump in and slash-and-burn. The man is a menace, and already we have seen cases where his initial chain-saw approach proved disastrous and all the fired staff had to be rehired.

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）认为自己是一个天才，但记录证明现实是不同的。马斯克暗示自己参与了政府部门的改革，在这些领域，很明显他甚至没有小学水平的理解。他拿出了他的“链锯”计划，迫使美国联邦航空局解雇他们的大部分空中交通管制员——在管制员太少、空中碰撞、机场地面险些相撞的危机时刻，但他什么也没看到。他深深地融入了教育、生物医学研究、移民政策、国家外交战略等领域，在这些领域，他一无所知，但似乎非常渴望投入其中。这名男子是一个威胁，我们已经看到过他最初的链锯方法被证明是灾难性的，所有被解雇的员工都必须重新雇佣。

马斯克谈比亚迪 — Musk on BYD

The above are by no means the only stupid things Musk has said. In an interview with Bloomberg, Musk denigrated and trashed China’s BYD, saying, “Have you seen their car?”, [89] suggesting it was rubbish. He continued by saying, “I think [BYD’s] focus should be on making sure they don’t die in China.” [90][91] But Musk awoke the next morning to discover that BYD was the largest EV manufacturer in the world, with sales, quality, and consumer attraction all outstripping Tesla. Not only that, he discovered more or less simultaneously that Tesla’s sales in China had cratered by 49%, [92] plunged in Europe by 45% [93] (all primarily due to BYD), [94] and that Tesla’s profits plummeted by 55%. This at the same time that BYD’s sales rose by nearly 50% and profits doubled. Musk didn’t seem to notice.

以上绝不是马斯克说的唯一愚蠢的话。在接受彭博社采访时，马斯克诋毁并诋毁中国的比亚迪，说：“你见过他们的车吗？”[89]暗示这是垃圾。他继续说道：“我认为（比亚迪）的重点应该是确保他们不会在中国死亡。”[90][91]但马斯克第二天早上醒来时发现，比亚迪是世界上最大的电动汽车制造商，其销量、质量和消费者吸引力都超过了特斯拉。不仅如此，他或多或少同时发现特斯拉在中国的销量暴跌了49%，[92]在欧洲暴跌了45%[93]（主要是由于比亚迪），[94]特斯拉的利润暴跌了55%。与此同时，比亚迪的销售额增长了近50%，利润翻了一番。马斯克似乎没有注意到。

Musk next took some cheap shots on Twitter at the Chinese smartphone firms entering the auto market, saying that “Prototypes are easy, production is hard”. He made a stunning fool of himself when the Huawei and Xiaomi EVs exploded on the Chinese market with their initial production runs selling out within hours. To make matters worse, Ford US President Jim Farley brought a Xiaomi SU7 back to the US with him and proudly told everyone who would listen that he loves it so much he wouldn’t want to ever give it up. [95][96][97] Then suddenly Musk was singing a different tune, apparently oblivious to all the disparaging comments he’d previously made: “Our observation is, generally, that the Chinese car companies are the most competitive car companies in the world.” No admission of his prior ridiculous comments,[98] but at least Musk has been thankfully silent on BYD and Chinese EVs ever since.

马斯克随后在推特上对中国智能手机公司进入汽车市场进行了一些抨击，称“原型很容易，生产很难”。当华为和小米电动汽车在中国市场爆炸式增长，最初的生产在几个小时内就卖完时，他出丑了。更糟糕的是，福特美国总裁Jim Farley将小米SU7带回美国，并自豪地告诉所有愿意听的人，他非常喜欢它，他永远不想放弃它。[95][96][97]然后，马斯克突然唱起了另一首歌，显然没有注意到他之前发表的所有贬低言论：“我们的观察结果是，总体而言，中国汽车公司是世界上最具竞争力的汽车公司。”没有承认他之前的荒谬言论，[98]但至少谢天谢地，马斯克从自从一直对比亚迪和中国电动汽车保持沉默。 [99] [100] [99][100]

情境意识 — Situational awareness

Situational awareness is the ability to perceive, comprehend, and project the dynamics of an environment accurately. In broader terms, it involves gathering real-time information, but also possessing the comprehension to understand the implications of that information, and the ability to anticipate future developments from this.

情境意识是指准确感知、理解和预测环境动态的能力。从更广泛的意义上讲，它涉及收集实时信息，但也要理解这些信息的含义，并有能力从中预测未来的发展。

As an example, airline pilots define this as full awareness of the aircraft’s location, speed and altitude, its flight behavior, the configuration of all parts of the aircraft, navigation instrument readings and so on. When they are fully aware of the conditions of all these, they will be able to appropriately respond almost instantly to any unexpected development. With full situational awareness, they will immediately understand the implications of an unexpected development, will be able to anticipate the result and, most importantly, they will fully appreciate the consequences of any actions they take.

例如，航空公司飞行员将其定义为完全了解飞机的位置、速度和高度、飞行行为、飞机所有部件的配置、导航仪器读数等。当他们完全了解所有这些情况时，他们将能够几乎立即对任何意外的发展做出适当的反应。凭借全面的态势感知，他们将立即了解意外发展的影响，能够预测结果，最重要的是，他们将充分认识到他们采取的任何行动的后果。

Elon Musk exhibits a systemic chaotic behavior suggesting a poor or non-existent situational awareness, particularly in social and reputational contexts, and is especially lacking this in circumstances that are serious. The man demonstrates an astonishing inability to relate his actions to their consequences, quite unable to relate personal disasters and failures to his own character and actions. 埃隆·马斯克表现出一种系统性的混乱行为，表明他对情况的认识很差或根本不存在，尤其是在社会和声誉方面，在严重的情况下尤其缺乏这种认识。这个人表现出惊人的无能，无法将自己的行为与后果联系起来，完全无法将个人灾难和失败与自己的性格和行为联系起来。

After summarily firing 80% of the staff at Twitter, Musk posted a celebratory meme of himself wielding a chainsaw, mocking the firings. To say this alienated remaining employees and the public is a bit of an understatement, since these actions contributed to the advertiser boycotts and Tesla-burning backlash. Musk seemed to have no apparent comprehension of their emotional and reputational impact. In a repeat of this behavior, Musk paraded himself wielding a chainsaw in a public celebration of his intention to needlessly fire hundreds of thousands of Federal civil servants, apparently oblivious to the human carnage he would cause, and even more oblivious to the caricature of himself he presented to the public by such a grossly-insensitive act. And, once again, he appeared totally oblivious to the relation between his displayed attitudes and the public hatred he engendered, evidenced again by the trashing of Tesla dealerships and burning of his cars.After trashing Twitter and turning the platform into “a cesspit of racism” (and pornography), Musk sued Twitter’s advertisers for leaving. There is nothing here that can be considered an act of intelligence, much less of genius.

在推特上迅速解雇了80%的员工后，马斯克发布了一个庆祝自己挥舞电锯的模因，嘲笑解雇事件。说这疏远了剩下的员工和公众有点轻描淡写，自从这些行为导致了广告商的抵制和Tesla的反弹。马斯克似乎对他们的情绪和声誉影响没有明显的理解。在这种行为的重复中，马斯克挥舞着链锯游行，公开庆祝他打算不必要地解雇数十万联邦公务员，显然没有意识到他将造成的人类屠杀，更没有意识到自己通过这种极其麻木不仁的行为向公众展示的漫画。而且，他似乎再次完全忘记了他所表现出的态度与他所引发的公众仇恨之间的关系，特斯拉经销商被捣毁和他的汽车被烧毁再次证明了这一点。在摧毁推特并将该平台变成“种族主义（和色情）的粪坑”后，马斯克起诉推特的广告商离开。这里没有什么可以被视为智慧的行为，更不用说天才了。

In a prior article titled, “Captain America – The Man with Two Brains”, [101] I wrote the following:在之前的一篇题为“美国队长——有两个大脑的人”的文章中，[101]我写道：

These behavior patterns are not difficult to understand if we assume that Americans really do have two unconnected brains, not physically but mentally.Like all schizophrenics, most Americans exhibit what researchers call a ‘splitting of mental functions’, a mental disorder characterised by a failure to recognize what is real, the most common symptom being false beliefs. This derived schizophrenia appears to share the stage with a variation of what is called a ‘multiple personality disorder’, “a mental defect characterised by two distinct but dissociated personality states that alternately control a person’s behavior, accompanied by memory impairment not explained by ordinary forgetfulness.” This combination summarises to a people (a) holding totally false beliefs, unable to distinguish fiction from reality, (b) displaying two distinct but dissociated and opposite mental states, and (c) exhibiting little if any memory overlap between these two states. This describes the behavior of Elon Musk too perfectly to be an irrelevant coincidence.

如果我们假设美国人确实有两个不相连的大脑，不是身体上的，而是精神上的，那么这些行为模式就不难理解了。与所有精神分裂症患者一样，大多数美国人表现出研究人员所说的“精神功能分裂”，这是一种精神障碍，其特征是无法识别真实的东西，最常见的症状是错误的信念。这种衍生的精神分裂症似乎与所谓的“多重人格障碍”的变体处于同一阶段，“这是一种精神缺陷，其特征是两种不同但分离的人格状态交替控制着一个人的行为，伴随着普通健忘无法解释的记忆障碍。”这种组合概括为一个人（a）持有完全错误的信仰，无法区分虚构与现实，（b）表现出两种截然不同但分离且相反的精神状态，以及（c）这两种状态之间几乎没有记忆重叠。这完美地描述了埃隆·马斯克的行为，不可能是一个无关紧要的巧合。
