Evolution already found a workaround for Musk’s concern. They are called brain folds. (Sorry koalas)
Many of the “less evolved” hominids had larger brains than Homo sapiens sapiens. Brain size correlates strongly with body size because most of what a brain does is not related to abstract reasoning, but core functions which we don’t consciously manage. Many mammals have larger brains than humans for this reason.
