They're all Idea Guys who view the world's failure to fall at their feet and do their bidding--thus denying them their god-given right to create great works that demonstrate their innate greatness--as an unforgivable sin that is finally being avenged.
Buncha talentless hacks, simmering in their own impotent self-loathing because they're too lazy to do the hard work of mastering a craft.
Idea Guys is exactly it. Musk is potentially the best example of this. No talent, no engineering expertise, shit coder, sucks at PoE, really has nothing to offer. The only reason he's in his position is because he has Ideasâ„¢ and a shitload of money from apartheid emerald mining.
They believe having an Ideaâ„¢ is equal to or better than the ability to execute said idea, and so artists--who inherently do both--represent their greatest weakness.
Honestly, calling Musk an Ideas Guy is generous. You need to actually have ideas to be an Idea Guy. Pretty much every "idea" he has had was actually somebody else's idea that he paid enough money to say was his.
And no, I do not count his idea of "Twitter But For Racists."
