For someone that doesn’t know what he’s doing he’s successfully built a pretty successful rocket company that’s developing the heavy lift capabilities for going to mars, an EV company - important on a planet without plentiful hydrocarbons, planetary communication systems, and a bunch of other companies that are components for that vision. It’s hard to point to where the BS lies - with every rocket launch he gets one step closer to that BS I guess?
I’m no Elon fan boy, I think he’s frankly dangerous, but I don’t doubt for a second how serious he is and how methodically he is executing his idea of colonizing mars. Whether he will be successful or not, it’s hard to dispute he’s advanced that cause more than any one person has.
I’d note the success of boring company has nothing to do with the motivation for creating the company.
