I want to believe this, because I want to make it make sense, but honestly the simplest explanation (and imo most likely) is that he's just an idiot who got lucky one time with no plan at all

I mean he might have some idea of what he wants to do, no good/sound plan to get there, and enough money to just keep failing forwards. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.

Like the OceanGate guy. Money and an idea don’t make you a visionary genius mastermind, but they can let you cosplay as one.
