I think god complex or atleast narcissism is something that comes with being really good at art. Imagine a bunch of people saying youre great everyday, if just makes you have a healthy self-esteem, great, but I find it often goes past that into the "I'm better than you" territory.
My more personal theory is that being good at art is a lot of chasing what you "like." Who's better at deciding what they like and what is thr best than a narcissist? I think people without this trait are open to explore new things or question why they like something which in turn slows down progression in a specific area.
For me, its never a surprise that musicians start coming out to be freaks.
But you don't actually know the guy. He could be an absolute asshole in real life. He could be great of course too. I've met many musicians without zero percent humility or only express humility as a humble brag/religious expression because theyre jerks irl.
Not all great musicians are assholes but I've noticed how weird people and disconnected people get when they start emerging in the field.

Also see the most recent Chapo episode for discussion on that
I already elaborated what I meant with my comment but I mean with Musk you can argue that he perceives hes really good at it.
