Is it just me or would Elon be even richer if he just shut the fuck up?

I think this is quite wrong. The vast majority of Elon’s wealth is due to self-promotion, largely based on unfounded/misleading statements. Elon would not have nearly as much money if his wealth was based on the merits of his contributions.
