Morals, ethics, and not being a jerk aside, Musk has now proven that he is just plain not thinking things through, when he:

1) Released the original Boring Company idea about tiny tunnels under LA to alleviate road traffic, which could easily be shot down by anyone modeling it on a single paper napkin.

2) Got caught up in ontological (theistic) arguments about alien scientists who had surely created a computer simulation in which we all live.

3) In an effort to prevent the inevitable AI overlords from controlling us, bought a company to create a ubiquitous neural interface so that computers have read/write access to our brains, of which somehow the AI overlords will not take advantage.

This was all as of 2018.

I still give him credit for previous accomplishments, but in aggregate, it is arguable that Elon Musk's new found ability to avoid thinking things through might be our "Great Filter."
