My extremely naive interpretation: he’s at a sweet spot crossroads of a few favourable features:

- he’s technical enough so that he actually understands what he’s doing (unlike a “non-technical cofounder”)

- working on actually inspiring projects (unlike “let’s sell ads” Google, “let’s make rich people richer” finance, “no innovation” Boeing or “Instagram for dogs” bullshit startups)

- he’s rich enough to be able to start his own company with extremely capable people, with less need to please the investors (at least in the short term)

- he’s actually driven, not just money/power-hungry like 99% of billionaires who use their wealth to buy goodwill/influence/art.

an ex gf of mine says Musk is an alien and needs humans to help him develop tech to get back home.

Elon Musk did not start SpaceX, Tesla or any of the other companies.

He did start SpaceX, not Tesla.
