Elon Moment

An increasingly common event in which a person or group of persons, knowledgeable within a given field, read or hear Elon Musk making a definitive statement within or about that field, and all at once realize that he is an idiot.

My Elon Moment was when he posted his Path of Exile Build. Now I know this guy isn't taking us to space.
