I agree. Musk's key talent is sales:

* Convincing investors to lend him money.

* Convincing talented people to come work on his projects.

And he lies convincingly. His methods sometimes do get results (Tesla electric cars, SpaceX), so to his fans, he's a genius. Most of his projects fail (Tesla self-driving, boring company, hyperloop, robotaxis, crypto, stonks, every single thing he's tweeted about), but his fans are happy to forgive or forget all about those.

With Twitter he may have bitten off more than he can chew.
