While your argument is correct, it was none of us that raised Musk to a 'genius' idol. It was his own marketing campaign, probably done on his behalf by a professional PR team. When the rest of us heard the amount of praises going around, we just assumed that there was some substance to it. That's until the 'pedo guy' incident started the collapse of that facade.
Marketing relies on the gullibility of the consumer. If you start from the position of "this person is just another human like me and I am better at some things than them" then celebrities suddenly aren't so magical and special anymore. It becomes a lot easier to see through the PR bullshit.
