Oh he's a nerd for sure, just one whose ego outsizes his nerdyness by far.
He's considered an average self-taught programmer by skill, but started fairly early because of his interest in computers. There's also no way he started SpaceX purely for profit, he had to actually be very interested in space because it was a money pit for a looong time.
I think he went from wanting to make the world a better, more efficient place via tech in the 90s and early 00s, to having a savior complex where he thinks he's the smartest man to ever have existed, and only he can save the entire world. His goals required him to make a lot of money, and the very same money completely changed him.
That's not to say he wasn't always an asshole with a superiority complex, it's just that there quite likely was more to him than just the pursuit of money and power... But having plenty of both silenced any actual human part of his personality.

Compare and contrast:
- Elon Musk Rage Quits Livestream After Getting Ruthlessly Cyberbullied by Gamer
- Eventually, he vanished when his WiFi connection abruptly cut out and ended the stream, which he later deleted from X but was swiftly reuploaded onto YouTube.
He was showing off Starlink wifi while on a plane. Isn't it possible his connection got dropped? Or at least, if you rage quit doesn't there have to be some rage?

The whole thing was a stunt to promote Starlink.
What a little bitch.
You love to see it.
Make comedy legal again.Well Elmo that was fucking hilarious.
How fucking out of touch with reality do you have to be to think this would go well?

DOGE staff reportedly "freaked out" after seeing "Some of you guys are alright, don't go to the White House tomorrow" message from Musk (jk)
I wonder if he's ever actually enjoyed and been sincerely enthusiastic about video games, or he's just playing them in a pathetic attempt to come off as cool and attractive to younger generations.

Oh, I thought it was because he died to the tutorial boss on a game he's supposedly pro at.
