Pros: He can keep a straight face while being an exceptionally good friend...

“I think the president is a good man,” Musk said. “I think he is an honest man, and I have yet to see him do anything mean or anything that is wrong, that I would say morally wrong. Not even once.”

So basically unattributed account of an interaction that, as far as I can tell is entirely phony (a quick search revealed similar videos but each with another "professor"). This is astonishingly accurate, but in a sad, vacuous way.

Regarding keeping a straight face, he is really good at making very detailed promises (like, autonomous driving by end of next year December, maybe November) and keep doing that for years without showing any level of self-consciousness. But maybe that is because he is such a math genius that actual numbers don't mean anything to him anymore.

How does the saying go?

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me every time, I must be a Musk fan.

Perhaps he heard, that dividing by zero would give him infinite wealth?

I mean he believes it's a 50/50 chance we are living in a simulation so wouldn't surprise me.

I'm not sure that you understand the odds...
