he has a history of pushing for an idealistic futuristic future

I want some of what you are having, because you have a warped perception of reality.

Tom Nicholas has really good essay on this topic. Musk is not a futurism proponent. He is an apocalyptic visionaire. His view is not preparing a better future for all humans, instead he's about using tech for rich people surviving the end of the world whilst retaining their privileges. His futurism is fake.

Yeah, he probably wasn't, but that means there's a chance he was. The person you're replying to isn't saying he was or wasn't. You want to start an argument over that, this is all you. All you're doing, without proof that Musk absolutely is fake in this one instance, is just changing the percentage, but not making it certain.
