Man, I love what Musk is doing, but there is way too much 'hype' around this guy. Richard Branson did a lot of similar things. Not with rockets though. "Greater and more challenging"? I don't think so. First Atomic Bomb and the Apollo Program took way more genius than that. Let's not forget Bill Gates and Microsoft. Musk is the flavor of the month.
There are certainly a few scientists amongst the true geniuses. Most would be inventors who are pushing the envelope and not just worker bees carrying out tasks and orders.
If Musk is the flavour of the month that means he is common and there is a replacement every month basically both before and after him. I would like to see you name them?
Like him or not, (and I don't consider myself a fan) he is in pretty rarified air just below Gates, Buffet, Bezo's, and a few others. He is almost certainly in the top 5% of the business elite.
You can wave your hand and dismiss him as if nothing I guess but then I would ask...
