Tech billionaires aren't juvenile science-fiction nerds, they just can't read
Tech oligarchs like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk aren't juvenile science fiction nerds—they need a couple of courses in the humanities.
Tech billionaires are often dismissed as immature nerds who lack the ability to comprehend the material they read. Mark Zuckerberg, a coding prodigy, is still criticized for his love of science fiction. Elon Musk sleeps next to prop guns and Diet Coke cans while playing video games, and is often misinterpreting science fiction. Peter Thiel, known for funding Zuckerberg, has been accused of twisting theology.
The tech elite, including these billionaires, have been criticized for their lack of reading comprehension skills, which suggests they are functionally illiterate.
