Good post.
I think many people misunderstand Elon Musk. He is not like Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or Jack Dorsey or Brin and Page.
Musk is an absolutely unfiltered absolute genius. That doesn’t mean he has all the answers or gets everything right. But philosophically he answers to no one, and he is willing to take the risks and TRY to solve problems no one else wants to touch.
I’ve seen interviews with him where he describes his mind as being a perpetual explosion of ideas that he can’t shut off. He HAS to speak his mind or he will go crazy. I totally get that.
