The diploma is a bachelor of arts, so that's definitely not the business degree and is probably for physics. Penn, like most liberal arts schools, offers a bachelor's in arts for stem fields. IIRC he did an uncoordinated dual degree and his wharton degree would have been a bachelor of science in economics (its not really an econ major, its a business major, the real econ major is a bachelor of arts), while his college of arts and science degree was a bachelor of arts in physics.

Given that the degree does not list a department, and that the court documents claim otherwise, I am inclined to disagree with your conclusion.

  • So, if his only degree is a bachelor of science in economics like the filing claims, what's the scan of the bachelor of arts degree then? He's got some sort of secret other degree in biology or chemistry he's never told anyone about? Fwiw he's listed as having a ba physics and bs econ in the alumni directory, and penn has confirmed those in emails, so like, you can pretend that he doesn't have the degrees he has, but idk what that accomplishes. And maybe he said a few times that he had a b.s. in physics (which is not a thing at penn) instead of a ba but that's meaningless

    • I’m not an Elon basher but I’m genuinely confused by what you’re saying. You’re saying the fact he has a BA implies it’s something in STEM rather than Econ? Maybe I’m wrong but isn’t a BA the degree you would expect to get an basically any school when studying Econ?
