Elon's real problem, which is what makes midwits remain midwits, it's his massive ego, insecurity, pretentiousness and intelectual carrogance.
Hyperloop.But most of the time, he just throws money at people smarter than him, or those who make him look smart such as his entire PR team.
The problem is that he and his clan are "Bauernschlau" as germans say. And, like with hyperloop, if something too retarded to work gains traction and is then exposed and abondoned, he plays it of as a successful con on the suckers and the parasitic midwit ilk of his caliber cheer for that, too.
Driven people like him can't lose with a high school educated public at the ballot box and in public offices, as long as they have money to hand out, however they generate it.
Farmer's cunning is originally a proverbial way of describing the fact that people with little schooling "in the country" can quite effectively combine cunning, secrecy and far-sighted planning; for example, when the farmer tricks the teacher in a property deal or the administrative official in a land consolidation procedure.

I would contest the far sighted quality in this definition, however. I always used Bauernschlau as specifically lacking THAT, so for most germans it's about short sighted, greedy schemes that will bite the guy in the ass later on or make the whole community involved pay for it in unforeseen, horrific ways.
Cue Elon reee-ing about his own son trooning out after schilling randian liberalism to the suckers for decades.
German has lots of neat idioms for these types of things, like Schadenfreude.
