If there is one thing you can say about Elon Musk, it is that he does what he says and always manages to surprise. SpaceX is the first company that managed to achieve propulsive landing even though it is just over a decade old. Something that not even NASA achieved in so many decades. Thanks to that now we have reusable rocket boosters and a real chance of making space travels cost efficient. 

This is just one example of something that people said "couldn't be achieved" but he did it anyways. That's how visionaries work. They dream big and they go and get it while the skeptics are left behind. Also, you mention AI, but this post has nothing to do with AI or its use of it.
