He is very driven, and believes that only he can save the world. He also believes a whole lot of bullshit.
Truly smart people question their own assumptions. Elon's proclamations are often so unrealistic and off-the-wall that he proves he isn't one of those truly smart poeple.
It doesn’t take truly smart people to question their own assumption. Elon is most certainly not truly smart, not a total dimwit either, but ann ego addled gullible man child. But we don’t know if and how often he inwardly questions his own assumptions. Outwardly he is so habitually self-serving and dishonest, and so ruthlessly and opportunistically exploitative of the pathetic credulity of his groupies, that the inferences about the details of his inner mental processes has little concrete to go on.
