In the wake of Jasmine Crockett saying she’ll take an IQ test against Trump and spouting ridiculous aspersions against Elon Musk, it should be interesting to look at the facts.
Well, first, high IQ scores don’t necessarily indicate genius. There are many other factors that come into play, not the least of which are experience and determination.
Regarding Trump, some online influencers on the left created a false narrative of Donald Trump having a low IQ to counter his continuous boasting of his high IQ score.
The truth: As reported by IQTester.org, An investigation that was carried out by the University of California in the year 2006 concluded that Donald Trump had an estimated IQ of 156.
Though Elon Musk does not go around boasting about his IQ, it is well-known to be between 155 and 160, as high as Einstein’s. Not surprising given that Musk is constantly innovating (his favorite mantra), invents product after product in his multiple companies (watch Musk's expert analysis with a neurosurgeon about his innovative Neuralink technology), and basically taught himself aerodynamics and rocketry to create his fledgling company SpaceX in 2001, which now dominates the US and World rocket industry.
True, SpaceX has some of the best rocket scientists in the world, but Musk is Head Engineer in the company, and you will find him working right alongside his engineers while no innovation gets implemented without his approval. The Starship is Musk’s baby. From the very beginning of the company, it was totally Musk’s idea.
While you may say it’s funny that the Starship has blown up on occasion, just wait. Once it’s successful the entire future of humanity becomes Star Trek overnight.
By the way, Albert Einstein and Steven Hawking reportedly both had IQs of around 160.
The president with the highest IQ was John Quincy Adams, estimated at 175.
James Madison, who closely and carefully read over 200 historical and political books in a two-week period in preparation for creating the US Constitution, had an IQ of around 160.
The president with the lowest IQ is allegedly Joe Biden, though his IQ has never been made public.
