What if he's not a genius and actually he's just some guy, and his wealth is actually arbitrary.

Absolutely chilling thought, eh?

Genius is not an absolute that applies across everything one done. In fact most geniuses are very very good across one dimension + they benefit from the halo effect.

Musk can be a "genius" when it comes to electric cars and space exploration while at the same time being total wrong about almost everything else.

He's got that affluenza disorder.
