    ‘no im gonna do physics’ (like elon).

    At first I was like “wait, didn’t Elon have a B.Sc. in Economics” so I searched him and apparently he also has a… B.A. in Physics?

    How do you get a liberal arts degree in Physics, what is this even

    EDIT: Apparently there are allegations he didn’t even finish that and he’s lying about it, I don’t care enough to actually look into it

      When you are rich/famous universities give you degrees. For honour. (e: Turns out the degree thing is a bit more complicated here, according to snopes, im wondering if this was backdated (also of arts? It is a real thing but it feels a bit fishy), but im getting very conspiratorial here, so sorry yes he does have a BA in physics).
