What amazes me about Elon is the level of self control, discipline, perseverance, resilience, willpower etc.

He's not the only one playing the game so effectively at that level but to me, he exemplifies rational behavior.

I wish more entrepreneurs like Page or Bezos were in the public eye as much as Musk. I believe those traits are common to achieve your goals.

Plus he is a pretty mediocre public speaker...yet puts himself out there & makes an impact

That's one of the reasons I love watching his public speaking events (like the tesla model reveals).

Yeah, there's a good bit of production involved, but it usually feels like when a buddy is showing you something really cool that he made.
