That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Elon Musk Wasn't A Superstar Genius Student As A Kid — The Principal Thought He Was Intellectually Disabled, Mom Says: 'Once He Started Going To School, He Became So Lonely And Sad'


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon...-150517809.html

His latest biography delves into his childhood and how it shaped him.

From an early age, Musk's intellectual curiosity was evident. As a toddler, his mother, Maye, recognized his exceptional intelligence and enrolled him in nursery school at age 3. This was against the advice of the principal, who believed that Musk's young age would make it challenging for him to socialize with older children. Maye insisted that Elon be enrolled in the school, telling the principal, "I really have this genius child."

But Musk's experience was not what Maye anticipated for her son. In school, Musk was the boy who often appeared to be lost in his thoughts. "The teacher would come up to me and yell at me, but I would not really see or hear her," Elon Musk said.

This recurrent behavior raised concerns, prompting a meeting with the school's principal who told Elon's parents, "We have reason to believe that Elon is r word goes here." - posters note: took it out in case people found it offensive.

Seeking an explanation for his behavior, his parents speculated that it could be a hearing issue. "They decided it was an ear problem, so they took my adenoids out," Musk later said.

Musk frequently found himself engrossed in observation, often gazing out of the window. When teachers reprimanded him for not paying attention, he would make observant remarks like, "The leaves are turning brown now."

According to the biography, enrolling Musk in school early was a mistake and Maye should have taken the teacher's advice and waited. He had no friends. It wasn't until college that he made his first close friend outside the family.
Missing from article is any example of his intelligence as a kid. Just him and his mum saying he was so smart he couldn't socialise.

I was also extremely absent-minded in school, mostly due to my Asperger's. Figures that his mother would think this is indicative of some sort of huge intellect when in fact it's just the inability to focus.

X SUES X OVER USE OF THE NAME X

No, Elon Musk is not suing himself. Another company known as X Social Media is going after Musk's X for trademark infringement.

When your company's name is one letter, it's inevitable that someone's going to fight you over it. Elon Musk's X is facing a lawsuit from the similarly named X Social Media LLC.

X Social Media connects law firms and their clients through, you guessed it, social media. The Florida-based X Social Media is now seeking a permanent injunction on the use of the name X, Reuters reports.

In the blue corner, we have Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter. The eclectic CEO changed Twitter's name to X in July 2023 as part of his attempt to make an app for everything. Musk removed just about every mention of Twitter from the site, from the URL to the app icon. He even stole the @X username from a long-time user (though @TwitterMovies became just @Movies, as @XMovies has a slightly more lascivious connotation).

In the red corner, we have X Social Media. Founded in 2015, the company owns the federally registered trademark X SOCIALMEDIA and says it has invested $2 million in brand awareness along with $400 million in advertising. In its lawsuit, X Social Media cites customer confusion and loss of revenue as the reasons for going after Musk's X.

Originally, X Social Media sent a cease and desist letter in August letting the network formerly known as Twitter know that it was infringing on the X name trademark. Musk's X ignored the letter and continued to submit multiple trademark registrations with the US Patent and Trademark Office. According to the lawsuit, this is going to essentially bury X Social Media.
