All these examples are business bets and not political ones. Don't get me wrong, they're astoundingly impressive but of the wrong type.

I don't dispute that he's a shrewd businessman and fancy visionary but when it comes to the world of politics, I have my doubts and reservations.

I'd like to see action and results first before I can vouch for him in that field.

In this day and age you don't become a billionaire without being good at politics. Navigating the regulatory state is an enormous task even when you don't have people laser-focused on you like Musk would due to his wealth and size of his companies.
