What a weird take. He directed first contact. The drum head. The search, and past tense. All great.
It didn't start with the media, it started with the crypto libertarians and tech bros. I might be misremembering but I think the news media got on their knees in the mid 2010s.
Well, that and the stupid cameo in iron man. But in general when people say media these days they mean the fourth estate not paramount pictures
The article literally says "110" which is indeed above average. Furthermore, I don't think anyone is underestimating Elon at this point: he built a cult of personality over twenty years that last to this day (smaller than it was a decade ago, but still there) and he bought the presidency.
He can do all those things and not be generally smart. His skill, like trump's, is lying in a distracting way. Neither of them is likely to ever invent a new thing or necessarily even be good at anything else. But they don't need to, society values distracting liars above most everything else.

The price of alternative bean juices is pre-gouged. It does not take $8/gallon to blend oats. It does not take $8/gallon to blend soybeans. It costs far far far more than $4/gallon to raise a cow, keep the female cows pregnant, destroy the male calves that result, and feed the cows sufficiently to both raise another living cow (50% of which are immediately trashed) and produce viable milk.
It only costs $4/gal right now because we are paying for you with our tax dollars.
