Elon Musk: Deep Thinker or Daydreamer?

What if Elon Musk's so-called genius moments were just people misreading his boredom? According to his ex-wife, Talulah Riley. Musk's reputation for brilliance might have more to do with social cues than actual deep thinking. At elite events, guests saw his quiet, distant demeanor and assumed he was deep in thought.

But Riley knew better. When people praised his brilliance, she often thought, "Really, he was probably just bored," even Musk admitted. The great thing about being famous is that if a conversation is bad, people think it's their fault. In reality, he might not have been lost in groundbreaking ideas, just uninterested in small talk.

So, is Musk misunderstood, a genius, or just someone who dreads forced conversations, or maybe both?
