Musk is not a great talker. If you watch any of his public speaking events this is quite obvious. Musk is a visionary dreamer. He believes in his vision of things with all of his soul. This is what captivates/fascinates people with him. That and his drive and ambition.
People of all levels of social status from poor to very wealthy are attracted to such people as Musk.
