He didn't create the market out of nowhere. There were previous attempts at electric cars. The market was warming up to the idea and his powerful PR engine did the rest. They saw that corporate media was in need of a replacement techno guru after Steve Jobs' death and Musk got inserted into that spot with a "genius" predesignation and Tesla came along with that. If he's a genius at anything, it's self promotion.
True, what he did with Tesla was a big move, it was a savvy business move, and it was a successful move, but nothing that would qualify him as a genius.
