The Elon Musk Power Down (noun)
/ˈē-län ˌməsk ˈpau̇(-ə)r daʊn/
1. The moment a man hits peak confidence, starts ranting about AI overlords, space orgies, or selling NFTs of his own balls—and then completely short-circuits mid-sentence like a sex robot with a Windows 95 processor.
2. The post-coital mental blackout that occurs when you climax while arguing about cryptocurrency. Often followed by a three-hour Reddit spiral and a mild existential crisis.
Warning: May result in accidental billion-dollar acquisitions or naming your kid after a Wi-Fi password.

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.

Hym "But you can't say the same thing about ME. Because I wrote a large portion of the messaging. And Trump didn't win by a substantial enough margin to say that he wouldn't have lost had I aligned myself against him. Which I could have. So, without Elon? Probably. Without me? Absolutely not. I've even (on some level) appointed members of his coalition. Elon is what he is because he had money to spend on things. I am what I am (the creator of AI) because I am better than Elon. And everyone! Better than everyone! The savior and/or destroyer of humanity!"

A princple stating that:
When examining any given anonymous post on the internet that sings the praises of (Elon Musk's) incomparable genius and contribution to the progress of the human race, it is impossible to determine whether the post was made by a high school freshman, or a divorcee in their late thirties.
"Elon Musk" can be substituted with any silicon Valley con-man.
