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.

It's quite possible, that Page, and Bezos don't see much value in collaborating with the press. Maybe that seems like a non productive use of time to them. For example, look how much Zuck is in the press.

They don't need it because they have sustainable businesses regardless of the press, so they don't do it. Musk wouldn't have a business without constant coverage and a strong brand (brand equity helps him cut deals no one else could).

I'm dying to hear how Blue Origin is more sustainable than SpaceX.

Really? He's obviously referencing Amazon, not BO.
