fwiw as someone building a product that’s competing with Elon every day, I can tell that I take him seriously and wish I was competing with the caricature that many like to think he is. :)

I think there are enough snapshots of public behavior to judge him as a petty person who often falls short of thoughtful. I do think he has redeeming qualities, but the caricatures I see and hear don’t seem to be wildly fabricated. I also think you are competing with something much much much bigger than Elon.

The rockets and market-leading electric cars would suggest otherwise. :)

That is what first stops me in my tracks. It’s hard to reconcile, except for my experience with meeting heroes in later life and seeing how frequently they decline. What if he used to be all those fantastic things, but now just spends time addicted to garbage news and twitter?

I would suggest Elon Musk fulfils the same functional role as a king or emperor and that said role is mostly a means of facilitating social and economic coordination. He is basically just a Schelling point for motivated intelligent people who is offering them access to capital and other intelligent people.
