To me a genius is Scholze, Witten, Tao etc. It's hard for me to call a businessman a genius for doing some shrewd business, if that makes sense? I mean maybe some of the engineers that work for him are indeed geniuses, I don't know.
Yeah he’s more of a visionary with knowledge, experience and resources than a genius.
He somehow manages to be an eccentric billionaire while still being a very boring person underneath it all.
For mi a visionary is a genius. He had a vision on Paypal and he implemented it, he had a vision on how an electric car product and company should be, and implemented it. I mean, cars are dominated worldwide for the big manufacturers and is definitely a market that seemed it had no space for a new company like tesla
Then, he had the vision with rockets to return and other projects in Space X
He consistently had different ideas in completely different fields on cutting edge technology and succeed
Also, I don't know why you separate business from genius as being you can't be a business genius. He definitely made a difference on the internet payment worldwide. He is definitely making a difference on the car manufacturing making all the manufacturers to shift to electric and contributing to the solution on climate change and he is definitely contributing on the new age of space exploration
And meanwhile he has time to be a very big asshole
