I'm not sure if he's "attempting to solve it" so much as he's looking for yet another way to keep himself famous.

The guy did one good jailbreak for the iPhone, and as near as I can tell, the rest of his work has been a lot of boasting, half-assed hyped-up implementations (e.g: his self-driving car), and trying to befriend other powerful people in tech (see: his promise to single-handedly fix Musk's Twitter). He might be a smart dude, but he vastly overrates his own accomplishments, and doesn't finish near anything he starts.
