Rename Dunning-Kruger Effect to Elon Musk Effect

The Issue

Every day millions of American have to suffer at the hands of this man:

 

 

 

Desperate for affection, Elon Musk presents himself as the savior of mankind. But, in reality he is probably the least qualified person in the world. In his efforts to become immortalized he has teamed up with another terrible human being. Their combined assault on the United States causing immeasurable devastation and chaos as they continue to ruin the lives of people.

However, there is hope. We can give him what he wants and hopefully he'll stop trying. We can immortalize him by renaming the Dunning-Kruger Effect to the Elon Musk Effect. Truly, there has never been a greater example than Elon in regards to this psychological phenomenon. 

For those who might not know, this is what the effect means:

 

Essentially, the less competent you are at something, the more confident you are in that topic.

 

Elon thinks he's qualified to do anything because he's supposedly the "smartest man alive." However, evidence points to the contrary. He doesn't understand macro economics, programming, coding, parenting, and almost anything else he touches. The man has fathered 13 children and his one of his daughters disowned him. His cars and rockets are volatile to say the least. 

Elon has consistently over promised and underdelivered in many things. He's also the reason we don't have a high-speed railway in California. Yet, as a firm believer in technocracy, Elon places himself at the top of an imaginary hierarchy where only he knows best.

It's my hope that one day, psychology textbooks and online pages use his picture as an example of the devastation that can be caused by the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Countless people are going to suffer because of him and I think that deserves some recognition.

Perhaps this petition gaining traction will highlight some of the dangers we face because of him...

However, for now we will have to settle with this petition. If Trump can try to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, then we can change the name of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. 

Please sign this petition if you agree. Perhaps, if we get enough signatures. He'll realize how people see him. However, I doubt that man has the self-awareness needed to introspect and reflect on his actions.
