I don't know... Just a few days ago I got goose bumps watching two Falcon 9 rocket boosters land side by side in upright position after lifting a heavy payload into space... then shortly after the main rocket landed on a drone ship at sea... first time ever doing what I saw as science fiction when a kid (rockets landing on their tails). He's got vision AND a way to get people to follow and invest in his vision... the second is people skills I had to work hard at for small teams and never could expand it to start new companies even though I suggested using the site Tesla has as HQ today for a solar energy R&D company with HP folks after that Fiorina witch ruined the company.... I even built a working solar hot tub heater and had a VC from England come over to see it in 2001... but it was clearly not a money maker with small, no tiny, volume while Musk started with autos that everyone knows how much energy they use and waste. I even looked into his "Power Wall" ideas back then as a way to buy electricity at night from the grid when it is cheap here from hyrdro having to keep the rivers full... then using it during the day. So... I give him a TON of credit... just none of my money. Are you sure it isn't personal with you?
