    Being elevated above consequences would cause some of one’s faculties to atrophy. (Case in point: the Titan submarine guy who overruled concerns that his carbon-fibre was unsafe and that there were reasons why nobody else had tried something similar before: if you’re a master of the universe to whom ordinary-people rules don’t apply, soon enough that includes the laws of physics as well.)

        What causes his demise was being an engineer and having some experience, and being too confident in own skills.

        Musk, despite having PR misleading people is not an engineer, he just want other people think he is.
