I mention this because I am not convinced Elan Musk is a wizbang scientist, more of an Edison type yet without them the ideas never come to completion.
Tesla was the smartest but Faraday wasn't far behind. Edison, the richest & very shrewd.

I'd classify Musk as an entrepreneur. Nothing more than that. He has vision and often that's enough but he must start producing the goods.
