And where did I say he was working on all problems?

I was talking about the general psyche of tolerating abusive assholes ( ie. Steve Jobs ) and eccentric renaissance man who we "know" will crash and burn but we rationalize it like "we'll get some indirect benefits, just like the whole NASA thing" or "at least the trains run on time".

There are justified reasons behind this, but also a lot of excuses. The whole Elon fever is something between Steve Jobs and the usual Hollywood actor talking politics on stage.
