He is a leading mind in electric vehicles, space exploration, engineering and entrepreneurship, not in medical, epidemiological or political fields. The problem is that Musk - in a situation akin to the Dunning-Kruger effect, which is, ironically, something he tweeted about - believes himself to be an expert in areas where he is not.

And despite being proven wrong by endless experts and studies, he has yet to issue retractions or apologies, or even delete the worst of his tweets. He’s also “good at Twitter” in that he spews misinformation under the guise of maverick expertise in a way that - more than any other titan of industry with his influence - increases engagement, amplifies his message and causes incontrovertible harm.ĭuring the pandemic, he continually posted false and misleading information about COVID-19, medical treatments and public health measures, as well as fomented animosity against medical professionals and politicians who looked to stem the spread of the coronavirus. He regularly interacts with his followers, chats about design specifics of satellites and the Model 3, and sends out requests for job applications, all of which is inextricably linked to the cult and success of his many companies.

Yes, Elon Musk is “good at Twitter” in that he posts memes that get hundreds of thousands of retweets and songs that climb to the top of the Soundcloud charts. But as we look back on the timeline of 2020, despite all the good Elon Musk has done in the field of EVs, space exploration and renewable energy (and even partially in the distribution of medical equipment - fields I personally have commended him for), he is unequivocally one of the worst people on Twitter. That feat may lead you to the conclusion that the billionaire is “good at Twitter.” He is certainly adept at trending on the social media platform and creating headlines out of 280 characters, with reports earlier this year even suggesting he scrapped Tesla’s PR department in favor of Twitter press releases à la President Trump. He currently boasts more than 41 million Twitter followers, which is 10.6 million more than when the ball dropped last December 31. Musk’s cultural influence has grown in lockstep with those accomplishments, as he is now one of the top 50 most followed people on Twitter, sitting somewhere between Harry Styles and Oprah. Stock for his EV company Tesla skyrocketed (it’s now the most valuable automaker in the world, and after months of waiting the company officially joined the S&P 500 on Monday), making him so wealthy he’s now included in Senator Bernie Sanders’s criticisms of the one percent, while SpaceX captured the imagination of the homebound masses by kicking off a new era of American space travel.
Alongside a staggering loss of life, there are the businesses that scaled back or shuttered, the creators who either adapted or gave up their dreams, and the individuals who were beset with unemployment and related financial hardships.įor Elon Musk, the electric vehicle and space tycoon, none of this applied.

For billions of people around the globe, 2020 was a horrendous year.
