Do not spam high-status people. That’s a recipe for an ugh field. I’m pretty confident that Elon Musk is capable of navigating this terrain, including finding a competent guide if needed.

Who is talking about spamming anyone? You are completely missing my point. The goal is not to help Elon navigate the terrain. I know he can do that. The point is to humbly ask for his advice as to what we could be doing given his track record of good ideas in the past.
Do not spam high-status people, and do not communicate with high-status people in a transparent attempt to affiliate with them and claim some of their status for yourself.
