Musk has a BS degree from U-Penn (as I recall) which means he is probably smarter than most. However, all of his corporate successes have been built by others, from Paypal, SpaceX, Tesla etc. The engineering of these were done my other people, and Musk just had the money to become majority shareholder. With respect to Twitter, I somewhat suspect he is intentionally demolishing the company.
