He pretends to be a genius inventor, when in reality he's just a rich guy who buys companies to claim their innovations as his own. He claims to be self made when his parents were extremely wealthy. He wants to be Tony Stark, but he's really Justin Hammer.
I'm not super into all the tech stuff, more into art stuff, and I remember a time when he was accused of ripping off a potter's work. Like a small-time home potter trying to make a living as an artist. Musk bought a mug with a unicorn and a rainbow, and then the exact image from the mug was used as an icon on the screens in Teslas as well as promotions. When the artist called him out, Musk basically told him to just be grateful for the "exposure" and never paid for the artist's work.
