I love reading the thoughts of intelligent people who are not socially competent. Socially competent people tend to understand and act on their incentives, which makes their public utterances way too predictable. #publication_bias

I think that Elon Musk is probably quite self-aware. The goal of his public persona is not to maximize agreement but heroic impact, which requires a non trivial admixture of integrity, autonomy and exaggeration, and he is doing it well!
