I think there should always be a healthy skepticism concerning Businessmen, especially people in the mold of Musk.

Many people are either averse to or incapable of, change.

You couldnt plunk an 80s Executive into a 2023 Company and expect great things because the only thing thats changed is the street price of cocaine?

Elon has some ideas, but I think the World operates very differently in reality in comparison to how it operates in his head.

For sure, maybe its just that Elon is operating 'Streets Ahead' of the rest of the World and really, truly is the smartest man in the room. Its possible.

I'd surmise it to be highly improbable and I certainly wouldnt put my money on it. I dont have a couple hundred Billion dollars to lose acting like a petulant monkey.

I'd wager rather that Musk started off with many advantages, hit a few home-runs early on off of ideas and financing and moments of opportunity but that now, when his acumen is actually being put to the test its being measured, weighed and found wanting.
