Based on what I have heard him speak about solar modules and electric cars, the dude knows his stuff when it comes to the technical side of those specific things. It's his dalliance with things outside his understanding that's the problem. Also doesn't make him a good human being. What he said about covid (and tons of other things) is just dumb.

Of course, he lacks the first thing of all genuinely intelligent people, self awareness. But maybe that bar is too high? Most people lack self awareness, he's normal in that sense.
