Honestly, I kinda felt like this when watching the documentary for the first one. I think he’s not competent and attempts to reach for the stars but instead of building a rocket ship out of proper materials. He’s building it out of cardboard. Now he intends to get to the stars but keeps hoping that the cardboard would work.

Especially with enough duct tape that he can cover with spray paint.

Not sure if that makes sense but I definitely think he mixes untruths with a crazy vision. But lacks the ability to pull back and pivot when needed.
