Is Elon Musk's Success More About Luck Than Genius? Looking for Sources and Videos Debunking the Myth of Him 'Saving the World

I've been hearing a lot about Elon Musk being a "super genius" who's on a mission to save the world through Tesla and his vision for Mars. However, I’m curious if there are any credible sources or videos that challenge this narrative. Specifically, are there any arguments or evidence suggesting that his success was more about being in the right place at the right time, or simply leveraging luck rather than groundbreaking genius or revolutionary ideas?

I’ve seen people say that he’s more of a "business opportunist" than the visionary he's often portrayed as. So, if anyone has any content—articles, videos, interviews, or books—that provide a more critical perspective on his journey and accomplishments, I’d love to check it out.
