I don't know why these people are shown next to each other. One is a scientist and the other.. well the most charitable thing I can call him is a businessman.
Its like a contrast as to what people value and consider smart these days.
Just to elaborate a little further
Einstein:
-Wildy popular in his time
-Lauded as the most brilliant minds of the 20th century
-Fled to america as a result of a fascist take over
-Made ground breaking contributions in his field of expertise
-Relatively apolitical figure
-Possessed no dillusions of grandeur
Musk:
-Wildly popular
-Lauded as one of the most brilliant people alive
-Raised in apathied Africa and migrated to America to pursue his financial goals
-Has contributed very little personally in his field of expertise
-Extremely poltical
-A relentless douche bag on social media
What field of expertise? All he does is spend his daddy's emerald mine money on companies and then lie about what the companies are gonna accomplish. With the exception of nutting into mistresses, he's basically a subpar 14 year old trapped in the body of a divorced high school history teacher, but riddled with drug addictions. Money is the only thing keeping him out of prison and off the streets. He has lucked his way into everything he has, and there is absolutely nothing to admire about the "man". There isn't a single goddamn thing that I would trust him as an "expert" to handle for me.
He is a pile of money. Nothing more, nothing less.
Can I super impose your ideology on to i dunno 50% of the population?
