“Eppur si muove”
It’s not that hard - people are wildly inconsistent in views and accuracy.
Someone can be contrarian and correct in one area and contrarian and wrong in another.
In fact I’d bet if you are more independently minded then you’re more likely to be very wrong in some categories since you’ve succeeded mostly by ignoring convention and thinking independently.
Most of the time this works, but sometimes you’re wrong and the consensus is right.

Clearly elon musk has an incredibly strong grasp on reality. Just because his political leanings go against yours doesn't mean you can discredit him.

It was a bad prediction. There have been an enormous amount of cases since then and many have died. I'm an Elon Musk fan, but on this issue he was wrong.
