1. Balls. Billionaires have big balls. Elon Musk has the biggest balls of them all. Just like George Soros, he is willing to risk his entire life’s savings on a well calculated risk. And when he wins, he wins BIG. Whether you are breaking the Bank of England or dominating space, you have to be a high roller.
2. Marketing. Like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk creates a “reality distortion field” in which others are made to believe anything is possible. Musk’s top brand is himself, not Tesla. Same thing with Jobs. Apple isn’t what it was without him. As we speak, Tesla is massively overvalued, and this is the opinion of Ark Invest guru Cathie Wood, not me.
3. Bezos is less innovative than Musk. His biggest accomplishment was Amazon’s “one click/swipe” purchase, along with Amazon’s logistical and organizational abilities. He also revolutionized AWS, which has a big influence in the cloud computing world. This is no small feat, but it isn’t enough to surpass building the world’s most successful privately owned space rocket company, solar company, boring company, and EV electric car company. There really is no comparison.
