    The conventional wisdom is that he’s still a genius but was masterfully playing 4-D chess.

    Personally I don’t believe it, I think he genuinely did think he was being a genius and that it was going to happen.

      I doubt that. No 4D-chess required. He absolutely refused to invest anything into Hyperloop from the start nor did any of his companies do work on it. He may have been high on his own supply with rockets and self drivingbut certainly not with Hyperloop. Just follow the money.
