He addresses that in the last line:

Monarchy is good, but even better: Can you build a high trust decentralized society?

He's basically saying that a decentralized society would be best but if that's not possible then letting a capable person like Musk take over the current system would be good enough.

That's like how Milton Friedman was against the Federal Reserve and thought it should be abolished, but if it wasn't going to be he had views and ideas on how to improve it.
