So his dad gave him $250,000,000,000? Is that really what you're saying?

As you seems to view them as such, I'll say that only a fool under-estimates their enemy. The wise man loves and respects his enemy, and gives credit where credit is due.

Lindell built a large consumer enterprise worth almost 1/4 of a billion dollars. He's had a rough life, struggling with addiction (not unlike Hunter Biden) but got clean and built massively successful business.

Trump built a global brand worth billions on the back of a real estate company worth but a fraction.

Musk is the richest man on planet earth for very clear reasons.

None of those successes were accidents or even luck. It takes vision, foresight, ability, talent, persistence, and hard work to get there. None of the aforementioned traits are traits of stupid people. And none of those three men can be considered stupid. The virtue of their accomplishments are obvious.

Ergo, if they are stupid while being hyper-successful, what does that say about those who are abject failures?

A fool is a genius in his own mind, seeking superiority by bringing other down, yet a genius builds something of value while lifting others up.

Trump, Lindell, and Musk are successful precisely because they are NOT stupid and have built something of value.

What have you built?

You do realize that the three traits in the "dark triad" are also present in people who live on the streets, right? It is almost like every human being is different.
