I think you're confusing wealth, luck and general privilege with intelligence. Sure, intelligence depends a lot on your viewpoint and some people, especially in economics, take general success as an important factor. Not me though, anyone taking this hyperloop nonsense seriously can't be very intelligent from my point of view. Maybe you could call Musk charismatic, but then he's rather atypically charismatic, cause his rethoric isn't exactly smooth. He stutters, mumbles and keeps repeating the same weird points like "interplanetary species". As if we need another hostile planet while we turn our own planet to desert. Don't get me wrong, i think exploration is great fun, but the way he's claiming it a necessity is just delusional.
