As you know yours for comparison, how much has your intelligence and hard work accomplished thus far, by comparison.

I've found that my good luck was heavily influenced by good decisions, hard work, and tenacity.
To Elon Musk? I have not been nearly as lucky, nor am I a workaholic. Life is much, much too short.
Nor am I at all interested in that kind of power. "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely".
I have seen and followed him since his days prior to, and including, PayPal. Dirty, and unclean work.
I desire a far more relaxed and comfortable lifestyle. From what you post here, apparently you do too.
:D

Agarwood, aloeswood, eaglewood, gharuwood or the Wood of Gods, most commonly referred to as oud or oudh (from Arabic: عود, romanized: ʿūd, pronounced [ʕuːd]), is a fragrant, dark and resinous wood used in incense, perfume, and small hand carvings. It forms in the heartwood of Aquilaria trees after they become infected with a type of Phaeoacremonium mold, P. parasitica. The tree defensively secretes a resin to combat the fungal infestation. Prior to becoming infected, the heartwood mostly lacks scent, and is relatively light and pale in colouration. However, as the infection advances and the tree produces its fragrant resin as a final option of defense, the heartwood becomes very dense, dark, and saturated with resin. This product is harvested, and most famously referred to in cosmetics under the scent names of oud, oodh or aguru; however, it is also called aloes (not to be confused with the succulent plant genus Aloe), agar (this name, as well, is not to be confused with the edible, algae-derived thickening agent agar agar), as well as gaharu or jinko. With thousands of years of known use, and valued across Muslim, Christian, and Hindu communities (among other religious groups), oud is prized in Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures for its distinctive fragrance, utilized in colognes, incense and perfumes.

One of the main reasons for the relative rarity and high cost of agarwood is the depletion of the wild resource.[1] Since 1995, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora has listed Aquilaria malaccensis (the primary source) in its Appendix II (potentially threatened species).[2] In 2004, all Aquilaria species were listed in Appendix II; however, a number of countries have outstanding reservations regarding that listing.[2]

The varying aromatic qualities of agarwood are influenced by the species, geographic location, its branch, trunk and root origin, length of time since infection, and methods of harvesting and processing.[3]

Aren't you glad you're you then?

I've been retired about two decades, but before I retired, I did my best, worked hard, and put in long hours for a Fortune 500 company, as well as my own engineering consulting business.

The bottom line is that while my performance reports uniformly say I'm gifted, my contributions to the world pale in the face of Musk's.

One principle that I try to keep in perspective, is that a higher plane of consciousness can't be perceived or understood by a lower plane of consciousness, and I clearly don't understand how Musk does it even with good luck and smart employees.

It evolves. It is all about connections for Elon, and then being at the right place, at the right time. He is a power broker, in a realm and world of power brokers. I chose to work for other entities rather than to hang my own shingle. I have a brother who is strictly a type A, and he is also in the realm of power brokers. Do I respect him? Yes. Do I envy him? No. He is truly gifted (much of innate intelligence comes from your parents, so luck). I believe though, that he could have done far more for humanity, given his talents, than he has, simply for the love and money, and an addiction to power.:cautious:
