There's often a fine line between genius and insanity, as Mr. Musk often reminds us by his behavior. Still, it's hard to argue with the success of Tesla and SpaceX.

Depends on your definition of success. We will see if they are still around in 25 years. I'll agree with you on the niche though, all the H1B Visa IT professionals are now moving up from their green honda accords to Model 3's. Ironically they are the ones that need autopilot the most.
