Pretty casual with the word genius there. He's an emerald mine scion who lucked out in the dot-bomb era and apparently has a talent for working through hardware manufacturing issues.
None of his original ideas have been successful. Tesla and SpaceX were not originally his, and SpaceX arguably owes more to Shotwell and government money than Musk.
There are so many people in Silicon Valley who would be more effective users of billions of dollars than Musk. Such a waste.
