Re: hmm
I think, at least in the US as an American, there is a lot of hero worship of successful business leaders and that is confused with with being intelligent. Would I concede that Musk might be good at organization of people to produce a product, absolutely. I don't think that is really a question. But is HE the one with the brains? No, of course not, it is all the people he has hired that are the real brains. And that is absolutely okay. Not being the smartest person in the room doesn't mean your are not valuable to the organization or even the most valuable.
Otherwise, the man is a fool with money as armor.
