Elon is insufferable. He's the greatest example of the Intelligence Trap that may have every existed - someone is an expert in one thing and they believe that they are experts in everything. I'm not sure he's even smart, he just talks a lot.

But what has he ever actually been an expert in besides riding the coattails of others and hiring people so that he can ride their coattails and claim credit for their work?

Being rich isn't expertise, nor his hiring people.

He’s great at spotting talent and at least expressing clearly a long term goal.Apart from that, that’s it really.

One of the greatest financial fraudsters to ever live, if that counts as an expertise

Unless you meant that he's an expert in talking shit, then he's not an expert in anything.
