I wonder if he realizes how he will be remembered by the world after his death, and how different that is that if he would have died, say ten years ago, or right before that moment when he wanted to rescue those kids stuck in that cave and went off on anyone that criticized him. For me, that’s the moment it all went to shit for him.

Legacy building is mostly for rich and powerful who came out of age, like in the mid to end of their life’s arc. We may dislike it, but even the most despised billionaires are probably planning something not for the community but for their close circle at least, or even their own commemoration, as they feel the death is coming. Be it a continuation of their business empire or an epic tomb like pyramids, there’s some though to that.
Musk has never left his college years, always high af, always in the moment although he is pushing well over 50. He is closong that question to himself by making many children, but I’m convinced he never stopped and reflected on what would be there or with them after he dies. He’s feeling overpowered, nearly immortal, and I feel like his death would be a sudden striking event that’d catch him completely unprepared.
