Former President Donald Trump said he'd "absolutely" be up for adding Elon Musk to his cabinet though he believes Musk will serve more as a consultant.

The term genius might have its place, but IMO it has nothing to do with how good you are at making money or exploiting your workers. Like in the world of investing maybe you could argue Warren Buffet is a genius, but that certainly doesn’t go for every asshole that’s hoarded millions to billions of dollars.
It’s also overused in most cases anyway. Much like saying something is “awesome” when it fills nobody with awe, saying somebody is a “genius” usually means as little as “pretty good, even solidly above average” rather than somebody who taught us something new about the world or ourselves.
