I'm not a fanboy, and there are many things you could call Elon Musk, but incompetent isn't credibly one of them.

How many times has he tanked his own company’s stock with ill-advised comments? Do you think this Twitter saga demonstrates competence?

In my experience, outside tech bro circles he is unanimously regarded as an idiot and not someone to emulate.

I'm not sure you want to use "value of his companies due to things he says" as your marker for incompetence. Many of his companies are seriously overvalued precisely because the things he says drive up the value far beyond where it should be.

Someone can be incompetent at some things and not others. We know with 100% certainty that Elon Musk is incompetent at purchasing Twitter dot com in a way that is most financially optimized for himself. We know with 100% certainty that Elon Musk is exceptionally competent at procreation.
