“He doesn’t know politics like he knows physics,” he said.

Hey dude. He doesn't fucking know physics either. Not any more than a 12 year old who's played KSP for a couple days. He's a pseudointellectual.

Elon Musk actually has a bachelor's in physics. Dunno when he got it, but he does know more than your average person. He's still a huge mega douche canoe sock monkey tho.
