Going off-topic here: is it just me, or is Elon Musk’s greatest superpower the ability to get ridiculous amounts of funding for very unusual ventures? (SpaceX, Boring Company, Neuralink, etc?) There must be many more people besides Elon Musk who could be an effective CEO for a speculative technology company, but I suspect that if anyone other than Elon Musk had tried to pitch The Boring Company to venture capitalists they’d be laughed out of the room.
(Similarly, right now Warren Buffet makes money not by outwitting the market the way he did years and years ago, but because people are willing to give him better terms than other investors because having the Warren Buffet Seal Of Approval is valuable.)
