Yeah, he is just a man who's daddy helped him financially (supposedly from ill gotten money) to start his first business and he is not an engineer. Not only that, he got really lucky with selling PayPal and money makes money, that is how it is set up.
He hires very talented people to make his and others' visions become reality, except for his self-driving cars, which now he has to label as 'supervised at all times' self-driving cars - see the oxymoron? Martin Eberhard and another man were the founders of Tesla, not Musk. Musk called himself a co-founder of that company when he had nothing to do with founding the technology or company.
Many of his employees say they only worked 80 to 100 hours per week because they were invested in the vision, not into Elon Musk.
What a wonderful event that you and your dad eventually found each other relatable. The same happened to me before his death and later in my life. What I thought was one type of behaviour in him was really a type of strength and endurance.
