Musk demands that employees fluff him. So folks invested in SpaceX like employees can't be trusted. There are enough blind and Twitter accounts of Elon being a dunce at SpaceX with the execs coddling him and feeding him ideas that he can regurgitate as his own.
Musk has some software engineering experience from zip2 and from fan boy Ashlee Vances book he was really bad. His Twitter shenanigans further demonstrated his poor CS skills.
He has no background in aerospace at all. Yet he appointed himself as the chief engineer of SpaceX on day 1. He also published neuralink white paper with himself as the sole author in what is a rip off of a Duke professors lab work. He was solo author of hyperloop white paper which is laughed at by the physics community.
In short, he pretends to be a world expert in
1. Software engineering
2. Aerospace engineering
3. Neuro physical bionic research
4. Underground tunnel boring, way way ahead of (10X) the most cutting edge current technology
5. Vacuum tunnel transport
6. AI, beyond just self driving- including AGI paraphrasing-"Zuckerberg and LeCunn don't understand AI".
To top it off, he has a generic BA in 1997 from UPenn and no STEM degree. His PhD admit to Stanford physics in 1995 has to be his most bald faced lie. He desperately wants to be seen as a scientist/engineer, which he is not. All of his classmates recall him from his econ classes, not physics. Though I did find some unverified quora story about a professor recalling Musk scoring a B grade in a physics class.
If you look at his history his only major success was scaling the production of a car someone else designed and built to millions per year. He is more of a business exec than an engineer in any sense.
He definitely has an above average IQ, hampered by an extreme case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. All of his shenanigans can be explained by the search of Narcissistic supply and deeply internalized feelings of inadequacy.
