Normal people often do normal things. Extraordinary people can do extraordinary things. Extraordinary people are often very different than 'normal' and thus their impact with the extraordinary.

People with big egos often produce amazing and innovative things and accomplish incredible goals that people with normal sized egos have no drive for nor does the normal or average person have the confidence and deep urge to fulfill their outsized 'destiny' or vision.

I think Musk is Musk--the good, the bad, the ugly, and the amazing. Most brilliant people close up are a hand full in someway. Ask his ex wives. ;D lol.
