Well...
Musk can be one without the other.
He can be Henry Ford of our times, if he’s so gifted in industry.
He could be wrong, and in fact, is, when it comes to foreign policy. Foreign policy is an area where one can be right one moment and wrong the next. Thus, the Henry Ford analogy fails at that point.
Musk should just provide the infrastructure for building and creating things, including improving Twitter. But, when it comes time for decision-making on foreign affairs, his opinion should not carry more weight than that of any other person who’s not directly involved in making such decisions.

Actually, that’s exactly where the Ford analogy makes sense. Firs was in favor of Hitler’s eugenics policies…until, after the war, he saw films of what those policies produced in the way of human misery and atrocities. But at that point it was too late to change what he had done and said. He changed, like many others, when confronted by facts contrary to his previously-held beliefs.
