Stupid and smart are stupid terms. There are many, many dimensions to intelligence and a lot of tech elite are too "stupid" to not recognize that being a really "smart" at coding doesn't mean they're really "smart" at everything.

I'd guess Elon and Linus's character sheets are more closely aligned on the same dimensions of intelligence than Linus would like to admit.
