I think he's a psycho (could be a good thing, wait) who cares about two things:

a) Tesla making enough money to make Space X work

b) Being able to establish a colony on Mars, using Space X

I think he's super honest about the Mars stuff. I also think he's being super deceptive about the Tesla stuff. Is that ethical or not? I don't know. From his larger point of view (risk of earth annihilation vs a bunch of rich americans dying in Tesla failures)... who knows.

If he is super deceptive about X, then there is really no reason to believe, or incredible naive to believe that he is super honest about Y for all Y
