Elon Musk does have a bit of a reputation for over-promising and under-delivering - but if you don't set some extreme targets, you will never make any progress. The recent success of the SA battery project, and the Space-X Heavy launch, are testaments to his entrepreneurial spirit.
And you have to give him full credit for showmanship - that Tesla Roadster / Starman moment was brilliant!
