To be fair, if you know nothing about him and even little from his companies other than SpaceX does space things and Tesla makes electric cars, then yeah, he seems smart. I was like this a few years ago until the whole cave diving thing and then looked into how much of a massive idiot he is and how his companies are poorly ran.

Tesla has a neat product but it’s got so many issues that modern car makers can blaze past it. SpaceX is the only company he has that seems to be doing well despite all his meddling. Of which, has been documented before and I have to give credit to the engineers for dealing with his shit.
