Looks like we're listening to different Elons. The one is a tech guy, the other is politician, so to speak. Long time ago I decided for myself that I never trust words solely on their origin. However, I take into account what the person is known for and their profile of competence. I think no one would argue that Elon is competent in technology. Yes, Elon time is a thing, but again, what he does is not just another college project, you know. Space is hard, so does AI and the human brain. There is fair amount of uncertainty in the domain itself which makes all predictions estimates at most.
Sure, you can ask your grandma for investment advice and that would probably be a poor decision, unless she worked in finance her whole life. On the other hand, she would probably be more than competent to answer how to make cookies and pies.
Long story short: use your brain, don't trust media, do your own research. Even Nobel winners are often known for some crazy or unscientific stuff. People are people, after all. You can't be an expert in everything. Otherwise we'd cancel literally everyone.
