PayPal only worked UX-wise because of Levchin and Thiel, a former Mafia member told me once. Musk never had a knack for keeping things spic and clean - it's well known how he interferes in codebases to add in his shitty bad-practices code, or how he advocated for using Windows over Linux at Paypal.
Musk is a business genius alright, but not what I would call a product genius like Jobs was.
