It's funny that people call Musk a genius for stuff like SpaceX but nobody would say the same about Bezos if he succeeds with his space company. With Bezos everyone will just say he got the right people with the money he invested. With Musk people say he's the smart dude behind it even though he also just paid the right people to work for SpaceX with enough money.

You can't deny that Musk often invests at the right time in the right projects and people (he isn't the richest person for nothing) but that doesn't make him the genius behind the projects these companies work on.

He's a complicated guy like we all are.  On one hand, i deplore his involvement with MAGA and the upcoming Trump administration.  He has also criticized Ukraine's fight for survival.  

On the other hand, Musk is very much a polymath and heavily versed in many subjects, which makes someone not only more creative but also good at many things.  He'd be a quite fun and interesting person even if he wasn't wealthy. 

Musk has also had some family issues that i see on my news feed from time to time, and I hope that he's being good to them because it should be easy given his wealth.
