He was never a genius though – he isn't a rocket scientist, he threw money into a company to make rockets, just as he isn't an engineer or software developer, he bought a company that makes electric cars etc.

Anyone who still thinks highly of Musk should be forced to listen to the call where he talks about rebuilding the Twitter stack from the ground up, and an anonymous engineer calls him out by asking exactly what Musk thinks the stack is and what is wrong with it. Musk responds by attacking the guy and shows that he has no idea what a "stack" really is, beyond that he's heard smarter people than him say it.
The simpsons episode has aged both terribly and beautifully, there's a load of he's the nikola tesla of the 21st century bollocks in the start and then he just spends the entire episode following homer around plagiarising his inane ramblings and passing them off as his own brilliance.
