    I would argue that anyone capable of dispassionately studying this subject can equally easily find that Elon Musk is not a reliable source of information (I’d dare say a liar) , eg:

    • the famous solar city presentation where Musk showcased several houses with solar tiles. The houses were a tv set for Desperate Hosewives, and tiles he was showing off simply didn’t exist. That can’t imagine a scenario where this could be an honest mistake.
    • the funding secured tweet from 2018 where he claimed he had enough money to take Tesla private at 420 USD / share. He got sued therefore we know he didn’t - even remotly.

    I don’t know whether Elon is a genius or not - but when somebody, who is proven to be somewhat creative with the truth, also claims that he is a genius - specially in the “I know more about manufacturing than anyone else alive” manner - I don’t think it is unreasonable to have doubts.
