I don't think he's a visionary. I think he find and borrows any visions he has, and then monetizes them via his father's inheritance. I don't trust he's thought anything through far enough to make it a success.

In truth, I'm old school, I guess. Private corporate money going into everything means cost cutting at the worst possible spots. I don't trust it. I've seen what it does to our DoD in real time. Our citizen workers for government... giving their all for everyone in the United States with diminishing returns, but dedicated to the goal of the Constitution and our Democracy. Show me where Elon has these goals as his foremost important issues, and maybe you can convince me otherwise.
