Elon Musk’s IQ Revelation in New Biography Sparks Debate on Intelligence, Innovation, and the Businessman’s Success in the Global Technology Market.

The journalist, lawyer, and biographer of Elon Musk, Seth Abramson, criticized the billionaire and his admirers in a series of messages posted on the X platform. He stated that there is no evidence of Musk’s personal intellectual achievements and that the idolization surrounding the businessman is unfounded.

Direct Criticism of Elon Musk and His Admirers

Abramson began his series of messages by stating that those who use Elon Musk’s IQ to prove his genius are in a “cult.” The author emphasized that, upon reviewing the billionaire’s biography, he found no evidence of personal intellectual achievements.

He was emphatic in saying that Elon Musk’s IQ would be between 100 and 110, and that there is no data in the businessman’s life indicating a higher value. “I want to repeat this now, so you don’t think it’s a typo,” Abramson wrote.

Where Did the Biographer Get This Information?

The intelligence quotient (IQ) of Elon Musk has not been officially disclosed. There are speculations on the internet suggesting that his IQ would be around 155, but this information is unverified.

Elon Musk has never participated in recognized public IQ tests, and he has not confirmed any value himself. Therefore, it can be presumed that the biographer’s statement is merely a guess.

Controversial History with Zip2 and PayPal

Throughout the series of posts, Abramson detailed Musk’s business history, highlighting controversial points. He recalled that Musk was sued for allegedly stealing the idea for Zip2.

Zip2, created by Musk and his brother, was described as a kind of “Digital Yellow Pages“. According to information from The Panel Online, from Belmont Hill School, Musk even built a fake shell around the Zip2 computer to impress investors.

The strategy worked, but investors agreed to inject US$ 3 million into the company only after Elon Musk agreed to be replaced by someone more experienced.

Abramson also highlighted that the code for the program developed by Elon Musk was so confusing that it had to be rewritten by more experienced programmers. Despite these issues, Musk ended up profiting when Zip2 was sold to COMPAQ in 1999. His 7% stake earned him US$ 22 million.

With that money, Elon Musk created X.com, an online bank that later merged with the company that founded PayPal. However, he was removed from the CEO position of the new company just six months after the merger.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

Between Alaska and Siberia, there is an abyss on the sea floor, a submarine trench 2,600 meters deep that surpasses the Grand Canyon in vertical scale and hosts one of the rarest ecosystems on the planet.

Chinese boats accelerate the collapse of fishing in Senegal, cause an annual loss of US$ 300 million, affect 1.3 million people, and help transform West Africa into the epicenter of 40% of the planet’s illegal trawling.

Super airplane Phantom 3500 advances towards its first flight, promising 60% lower fuel consumption, a windowless cabin, operation above 51,000 feet, technology validated by DARPA, and a billion-dollar order of 300 jets before certification.
