DUMB, LUCK

Ilhan Omar Deems Elon Musk the ‘Dumbest, Luckiest’ Person on Earth

The Democratic congresswoman isn’t buying talk about Musk being a “genius.”

Appearing on The Dean Obeidallah Show on Saturday, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was asked about Elon Musk’s recent plea for retired air traffic controllers to consider returning to work, a post which, she said, “shows how much he doesn’t know.” She continued, “I know people talk about him as a genius, but to me, I think he’s probably one of the dumbest, luckiest people... to exist on, on this earth.” She went on to explain how taxing air traffic control work is, as well as how long it takes for someone to be trained in the role, adding that, “Unless we raise their retirement age, if they were retired, they’re not coming back.” Early last month, Musk reposted a doctored video of Omar, claiming that she was breaking the law by conducting seminars teaching “Somalians” [sic] how to evade deportation, so his intelligence level probably feels particularly personal to her.
