The great thing about Elon Musk is that he speaks the truth, unlike most people. The truth often pisses people off, as it can go against conventional societal beliefs.
If you listen to what Elon Musk said, he mentioned:
1. You don't need college to learn things; everything is basically available for free.
True. You can learn everything online, buy cheap books, and educate yourself.
2. You need evidence of exceptional ability in the absence of a college degree to land a high-paying job.
True. You need a portfolio or some sort of track record of exceptional ability, and you could get a job at a Fortune 500 company making six figures.

However, what he didn't say is that this path isn't for everyone. You can't wave a magic wand or BS your way to exceptional ability. This method takes time, dedication, and a high level of skill.
Most people would be better off going to college, earning a degree, creating a modest portfolio that shows a minimal level of competency, and then using job experience to work their way up to exceptional ability as they climb the corporate ladder.
So, it's not a one-size-fits-all proposition.
I do understand that a lot of the negative press about Elon Musk has nothing to do with him personally; it's more about Red Team vs. Blue Team.
