Yesterday I was watching a BBC documentary about Elon Musk, and a quote from former SpaceX talent chief Dolly Singer made me think: what would Elon Musk's IQ really be?



According to Singer, working at SpaceX is basically a "naval engineering mission." It's no exaggeration; she made it clear that it will be the hardest thing you'll ever do — every day is a double test of body and mind. The people who join need to get used to growing in discomfort all the time. If you feel comfortable, it means you're not evolving.

But what really caught my attention was how Singer described Musk's mental functioning. She said his brain processes a thousand times more information than that of ordinary people. The way he solves problems goes far beyond normal thinking capacity. It's like being in a room with someone operating on a different level.

And here comes the controversial part: Singer didn't hesitate to say she believes Elon Musk is smarter than Einstein. It's not just above-average IQ — it's unprecedented ambition. Musk aims to be nothing less than the greatest engineer in human history.

Within SpaceX, he's not seen as an entrepreneur or billionaire. He's more like an extreme challenger who has assembled a "special operations force" tasked with doing what most consider impossible. Working with him means learning to stay calm amid constant anxiety and challenges that never stop.

Maybe that's why he managed, in just a few decades, to bring electric cars, rockets, AI, and brain-machine interfaces to such a forward level. In his brain, the word "impossible" simply doesn't exist.

Speaking of the market, BTC remains at $79.12K with a 2.71% drop, ETH at $2.22K (-3.20%), and DOGE at $0.11 (-2.66%). Meanwhile, Musk continues rewriting the rules of what's possible.
BTC-1.06%
ETH-1.74%
DOGE-3.1%
