Musk is exciting for what he does, not his bloviating.
He's a low EQ high EQ guy that has a bulldozer personality and work ethic. If you want to learn from watching what he does professionally, you'll probably learn a lot. If you try to learn from what he says, if it isn't about technical aspects of his machines, you're in for a bunch of poor examples of how to be a good person.
He reminds me a lot of Linus Torvalds, exceptional individual who contributions have changed the world, but like all of us humans, with a variety of warts in how he interacts with others.
Main thing to remember- from George Washington to Einstein to Ghandi- there isn't a human that you can model all aspects of your life on, no uber-virtuous genius- each of us has different strengths and weaknesses and we need to pick and choose examples for our areas of need.
