Really, I could care less about their “credentials”. The topic they addressed shows me they're attention whores talking shit with nothing more than their ego to back them up.
I have heard this BS for over 4 decades, and nothing any of these asshats have to say on the subject is either impressive or of any note. They're full of shit.
Period.
If Elon Musk came out as one of these morons, I would classify him in the same genre. Intelligent, but an attention whore who has an opinion that does not reflect reality.
Elon has to deal with the issue in the real world—not in a debate.
So—let us see if he can.
