But he is a child, even tho he is out of school he likely still needs to develop socially. I'm betting he worked is ass of in school... i.e. there is likely improvement in soft skills

What would you have him do instead? Go to a high school for 4 years as a daycare, where all of his peers will be until 3pm? I could only see a case for ensuring a limited schedule (like being done at 3pm) because SpaceX is known for being such a grueling 60 hour week place.

His parents should encourage him to go to non-technival activities with kids his age. Sports, music, chess, etc.

this assumes that the best way to develop socially and improve soft skills is to hang out with other children.

As a father of 2, yes. Assuming the other children are reasonable... Hey maybe this kid is fully capable adult... but that is improbable.
