Musk wants to be a Renaissance man, but he's not even a paleolithic man.
Paleolithic people made art, cared for the sick, & got together to share resources & ideas.
Musk would have died alone, crying that no one saw the genius of his plan to monetize hitting yourself in the head with a big rock.

Life expectancy of ancient people is confounded by the infant mortality rate. If a person lived past the age of 5 3000 years ago, they could be expected to live 50+ years. Even Paleolithic humans could live into their 30s or longer if they survived past 15. Several pharoahs ruled for decades.
