    He had that aura when he was building Tesla and solar city and the gigafactory. Become a billionaire and fight climate change? Go Elon.

    Go to Mars? Bit of a stretch goal, but helping Nasa and science is good. Go Elon.

    Save kids trapped underground? Go Elon.

    What? Called him a pedophile? Maybe he has some inside knowledge. Anyway.

    Shout about doge coin? Bit weird. Ok he’s just having fun.

    Sell a consumer grade flamethrower? What?

    Pay 44bn for Twitter? What? Where’s the value? This doesn’t save the world.

    And down and down.

        I was addressing the downward trajectory of his outside perception, not his actual skills.

        Musk is willing to risk his capital, and does seem to be able to identify talented engineers and individuals. He used to be able to attract them too.
