AI Analyzes the Internet: Elon Musk’s Genius Rating Tanks. Is Tesla Stock Next?
Is Elon Musk still considered a genius by the public?
Not anymore—at least, not according to +70,000 mentions we analyzed using cutting-edge AI.
Once hailed as a visionary, untouchable in the tech world, Musk’s genius reputation is slipping fast. And it’s not just Elon. In a separate AI-powered deep dive into +30,000 mentions about tariffs, the consensus was equally brutal: people increasingly think they’re a bad idea (surprising no economists).
The data doesn’t lie—and the sentiment shift is louder than ever. See below for yourself!
