Four critical elementary mathematical mistakes in Joy Christian's counterexample to Bell's theorem are presented. Consequently, Joy Christian's hidden variable model cannot reproduce any quantum mechanics results and cannot be used as a counterexample to Bell's theorem. The mathematical investigation is followed by a short discussion about the possibility to construct other hidden variable theories. A tutorial section on relevant Clifford algebra topics was added at the end to help interested readers decide for themselves the validity of Joy's claims. Also an appendix section discusses recent developments.
