I couldn’t agree more. I think that Elon Musk does not understand or feel love for humanity beyond what humanity can lend to his own visions.
I will not surrender our future to those who love ideas more than people. Because you’re right, the base of who we are lies in our need for connection and the recognition of our limitations.
Elon Musk, despite all of his intellect and innovative ideas, lacks the understanding of what true love, empathy and compassion means.
He is a danger to the fundamental threads of humanity.
The thing is, all humans suffer from "main character syndrome". The question is, what kind of character do we want to be? A person remembered for uplifting others, or leaving people behind?
Musk is a robotic, evidently jaundiced with apparently yellowed skin and severely abridged human consciousness that suffocates out empathy or compassion for his fellow hominids or any legged creature. He should check his pulse and blood pressure to see if he truly is in this dimension.
Re: "Perhaps the most revealing aspect of Musk's orientation is that he seems to love humanity as an abstract concept—particularly humanity's potential future—more than individual humans in all their flawed complexity."
Reminds me of Schultz' Peanuts cartoon in which Charlie Brown shouts: "I love mankind, it's people I can't stand."

He must be removed.
A misanthropist with main character syndrome.

I should have been more clear by just calling him a narcissist.
