The author asks,"Is one of these facts untrue?". Clearly the answer is that the second "fact" is not a fact it's just provocative ranting from the mouth of yet another journalist who's trying to get clicks by invoking Musk's name.

Most people's view of economics serve primarily as an intellectual Rorschach Test and in this case both Musk's and this author's perceptions seem wide of the bull's eye but in opposite directions.

Economics has almost no "first principles" of which Musk is fond and so he lacks a reference point. The author on the other hand seems to be one of those who makes up their reality out of whole cloth. In short a "hedgehog" according to the book "The Signal and the Noise".

Surely we can do much better than Nathan J. Robinson.
