Elon has always been an idiot. He thinks big, is very enthusiastic, and is very convincing/charismatic (I'm not sure how he pulls this off since he's a trash tier public speaker).
I do give him credit for catapulting EVs forward and for Starlink, but it's not because he's some kind of genius. He has grand ideas and is able to hire smart people to bring some of them to fruition.
