In able bodied people if someone can't improve at competitive games they are also completely useless at other things. The skill that makes you good at games is analytical ability, it's the skill that allows you to learn and get better at something. If you can't analyse a situation and recognise "I need to change x to get a better result" then you're going to be garbage at absolutely everything.
It's a really basic problem solving ability and he doesn't have it. He's shit at everything, I guarantee it.
i saw a bit on musk that mentioned that the first and only money he "made for himself" (lol) was building and then selling a website that was essentially the phone book but on the internet
so if you were very generous you could say that he was adequate at relatively basic web development circa the year 2000
Yeah, and even then the majority of the knowledge and experience from building a website back then would have almost no practical use today. I doubt he’s made any effort to keep himself up to date, either.
Particularly if youʻre actually really desperate to like he clearly is
I barely passed Computer Science II and Discrete Structures and I am probably still a better software engineer than Elon Musk.
That bar is so low that Hermes Conrad couldn't limbo with it
Some people play video games to relax, they don't try to get better at them.
Sure and there's nothing wrong with that.
But there's casual for that, and this is about ranked modes.
The Elon Musk Unmasked (from Tech Won't Save Us?) series emphasizes that his foremost skill is* building and perpetuating the awkward but believable geek persona around himself.
*Hard to say if he's got it anymore, or if American adulation of the ultrarich accounts for it all.
