I never understood why people think Musk is some kind of genius man.

He absolutely is a very good salesman and marketeer but that's about it. Everything he sold that was successful was created by others. The moment he starts to interfere things go wrong. The Cybertruck is a great example.

It is also known that people at SpaceX hate it when he is around telling people what to do because most of it doesn't make sense.

Now he is in politics it becomes clear to a lot of people who he really is. A greedy salesman.
