Not an Elon Fan but saying the richest man is the world was just incredible lucky is a little ridiculous. I am sure luck played a part but I don't think Musk is the Inspector Clouseau of the business world. At least not in the 90s and 2000s.
Isn't anyone who has hordes of wealth lucky? How can that not be luck? No one earns that much. It's luck that he happened to be born to that life.
What changed - or do you still give him some credit?
I had to guess he probably changed. You don't think being super rich changes you?
Yeah I agree, I don't think it's all luck either. But I do paint him in a bad light for not doing well with what he had in his hands. I'll probably never know what kinds of unseen pressure one tends to experience as a billionaire but he's really not doing well, to put it kindly.
