The author's thesis isnt that Elon Musk is flawed, though. Its that his vision of the future is.
The idea that there isnt any comparison of the magnitude of the two mens' impact on humanity is untrue, but so is the idea that we should take an impactful person's worldview and vision for the future as gospel.
In fact, the instinct to take it with a grain of salt is probably the right one, as great wealth and power have rarely been correlated with magnanimity in history.
