Elon Musk thinks he is an Olog-hai : cunning, elite troll that exists in the sunlight.
He’s more like a Stone Troll: dim-witted, easily confused, and prone to crumbling under scrutiny.
While he claims strategic brilliance, his leadership at DOGE resulted in massive failures, inflated savings claims, and chaotic cuts that increased costs, mirroring the bumbling incompetence of Tolkien’s Stone Trolls who were easily tricked by Gandalf.
