Elon is an asshole but he isn’t an idiot as some would claim.

It's honestly too difficult to tell since he's constantly grifting and lying his way through life. For immediate example, he was making some fairly false statements about how rapidly his team "could colonize mars". To seem impressive and "make the sale", he threw out some wild number of how many colonists they could get settled by a certain year (number was maybe a million, timeline was maybe 2050, I'm forgetting at this point) but the moment anyone who was actually good at math, astronomy, engineering or rocket science examined that number and timeline it was clearly bull shit with no possible way to accomplish it.

He's smart enough to be in a room with folks smarter than him, but everyone else is carrying the load while he takes credit.

Curious if you think the same of Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, and many others who clearly have stand out products etc but where not engineering them themselves but maybe solving the supply chain issues, pushing the design etc? Do we get iPhones or Model T without them building the companies, teams and pushing their products to specific goals?
