Elon Musk has lied about his credentials for 27 years. He does not have a BS in any technical field. He did not get into a PhD program. He dropped out in 1995 and was in the US illegally. Investors quietly arranged a diploma for him, but not in science.

      If you can afford a half million dollars in tuition, you, too, can get a B.Sc. in... Business? The fuck?

    Of course I get more scrutinized for an unpaid internship program than the richest man gets for starting an entire science company.
