While I think it will have that effect, Musk isn't smart enough to have thought about it that deeply.
Don't underestimate him. He's shown he's a spoiled brat, but he's not shown that he's incapable of elaborate and spiteful plots to get his way.
A smart decision in his eyes might be a dumb one in ours but that doesn't mean he's actually stupid.
Writing him off as an idiot is a one way ticket to being blindsided while you're distracted by something else.
But I do think he's an idiot. There's nothing to suggest he is intelligent beyond the average person, and many decisions he's made that suggest he's less intelligent.
