He had that aura when he was building Tesla
Tesla was a going concern (with excellent product quality) when Musk bought it. The product roadmap was already there. The only big things Musk has influenced are underfunding quality during scale-up and rolling out the Dumpsterwagen. Well, that and lying about self-driving.
I was addressing the downward trajectory of his outside perception, not his actual skills.
Musk is willing to risk his capital, and does seem to be able to identify talented engineers and individuals. He used to be able to attract them too.
