I prefer my tedious work to be physical. I get more of the rewards of just doing the thing and accepting that it takes as long as it takes from physical tasks than virtual or electronic tasks.

As for Elon, Somewhere around 2 standard deviations away from themselves people lose all ability to judge intelligence. If the person you are judging is above you, this leads to either hate or worship. Which one is a bit of a coin flip plus context and halo effect stuff. He is widely hated and worshipped because he is far enough above a significant chunk of the population. I don't think he is smart enough to warrant worship. I do happen to think the hate is warranted for moral reasons aside from IQ. Any hard money advocate who idolizes Elon for his business success is an idiot or at best too intellectually lazy to know how his fortune was made.

Then again I think people who aren't hard money advocates are either stupid or evil so...
