Elon occupied a position ideally intended for a smart person, in a field where expertise is relatively uncommon, and everyone gave him the benefit of the doubt on that basis. He was also hyped by the media as a genius, of course. I’ve seen no evidence he was ever more than a preening mediocrity.

He was also hyped by other seemingly intelligent people in the relevant industries, though I now presume most if not all of them had financial incentives to do so.
