So many places are long gone.
The pubs and night clubs I worked at, yet never pulled a pint—more crowd control.
The spit and sawdust Mighty Fine. Only went there a few times, each memorable.
My office in Old Portsmouth, now someone's front room.
The place I met my wife...

Over 50 years ago, 3 people on separate occasions did bad things to me. From throwing a light bulb that missed my head by inches to repeatedly punching me at school—he was 4 years older. I remember their names, when it happened & what happened. You don't forget.

Musk definitely fits two of these, Narcissism and Machiavellianism, as for Psychopathy, loosely.
Regarding your thoughts on emotional intelligence. I would say you are spot on.

I am no expert. I was watching a program about Essex Witches, and an expert mentioned that Hopkins, the self-proclaimed Witchfinder General, may well have been someone who fits the Dark Triad traits. I then spent the day researching it and compiled a list of people who might be a good fit.

Psychopathy: Marked by a profound lack of empathy or remorse, emotional coldness, continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, and thrill-seeking. Clinical psychopathy is related to antisocial personality disorder, the "dark triad" refers to these traits in a non-pathological, everyday context.

Machiavellianism: Involves a manipulative personality, a cynical worldview, a disregard for conventional morality, and a calculated focus on self-interest. People with this trait are strategic and patient, using deceit and cunning to achieve their goals, believing that "the ends justify the means".
