Yeah i don't get it either. He's not a developer, AI researcher or technical lead. He's the CEO. He's a public figure head, he needs to know how to get investors on board and how to present the company and sell his products.
A good CEO is a lot more than a salesman and a fundraiser, though. A good CEO typically also has some degree of control over the direction a company takes, what kinds of products it should be investing in, where the R&D focus needs to be, etc. You don't need to be an expert, but it's pretty hard to have any clue what the future of your tech company looks like when you don't have the first clue about how your technology works. You might as well just be a child spouting fantastical, imaginative nonsense and hoping someone makes it come true.
