People love the visionary genius side of Musk, but want it to come without the side that operates in his distorted I-don’t-care-about-your-customs version of reality.

Same for Steve Jobs, who was both a genius and could be a monster of a boss. Same for Walt Disney, whose ambitions pushed every company he touched to the razor’s edge of bankruptcy.
