An important thing about Elon Musk that’s widely known in tech circles but perhaps not in the wider world: he’s an ignoramus.
His technical knowledge is shallow and careless, full of parroting and fantasizing.
People who’ve worked on the small amount of code he actually wrote long ago describe his work as an unskilled mess.
At every company he runs, there are teams of people devoted to keeping him away from the engineers, who largely succeed to the extent that he forgets they exist.

Every Business major wannabe techbro I've ever met has so much praise for Musk and they tell me that whenever they find out I work in IT.
But I know very few tech people who have a nice thing to say about the guy. Maybe a few at my old job, but that was over run by MAGA and MAGA-lite folks. So they were mostly impressed with his fascism.
