Musk is certainly a super Type A along the lines of Jobs and Gates. Jobs was really just a marketing genius for Apple and was not an engineer either even though many people just assumed he was the inventor of everything Apple. All three of these men had an intolerance of people who were not as passionate or intelligent as they were in building their vision. They also all had social issues in dealing with people. Most super type people, in all walks of life (athletics) just can not understand how those around them are not as dedicated, smart, driven, talented etc as they are.
I had an Uncle who was the sales director for Apple who was summarily fired by Jobs. Of course we all know Jobs was a Ahole.
I am happy I am not that type of person because the few super A's I know none are happy people. Rich but not happy. They live to work. I work to Live and enjoy and I am not that sharp or driven
I have no training in this but I really think most of these super driven people like Jobs, Gates, and Elon are on the spectrum of personality disorders and missing social cue's.
Back to Musk:
His car is changing the world and the bar is high for all the huge car corporations to try and catch up. Also, fighting the oil and gas companies is no easy feat. All those early criticisms of electric cars are thrown out the window with the Tesla.
