Musk lacks both erudition and rationality so I don't think you are. Besides he must be too busy selling his Luna /s

  Had to look up the word erudition - nice word. Musk certainly is rational - whether that is always apparent or not is another question, and what level of certainty he requires before taking action is another question - what his risk tolerance is - but all things considered he makes more good and rational decisions than not. I suspect you're in part basing your judgement off of the shallow level of detail that you see in mainstream media or his Tweets, etc vs. ever seeing/reading much of his long-form writing and thinking to be able to understand his rationale; and perhaps also in part it's that your domain expertise don't overlap enough to be able to understand the other's decisions - to reverse energy his actions or shallow words to understand how it flows back to first principles, which he often mentions working from.
