I mean that role was SpaceX. Give them lots of money and get cool rockets. It was going great, and it was great for his image as it's not very political. But I guess he got bored.
I think the people working at SpaceX are probably glad Elon has his mind and hands preoccupied with other stupid shit so he'll leave them the hell alone.
Can you imagine if he were as convinced that he needed to have his hands in every little piece of that pie?
It would probably be a complete disaster.
When you see what a massive moron he is it makes you wonder all of the people behind the scenes at spacex that had to deal with his stupid and make the company succeed despite him.
Every day some engineer would have to answer his questions. "Can we remove brown?" "Pardon me?" "The color, brown, can we remove it?" "I'm sorry I don't understand, remove it from where? I don't think our rocket has any b-" "No, I mean from the world. Maybe with our satellites?" "I...don't think that's something we'll be able to-" "How about birds? I don't like them. They remind me of god." "We....we'll look into it."
