I think what you're missing is that to be successful you need someone to invest in you and your ideas. Whether it's your parents or a VC that point still remains true. However you still need to put in the work. So advice from Musk is still valuable in a way. Not all his advice though lol. You need to pick and choose what's relevant or applicable to your situation and that i think requires wisdom and discernment.

Now as to the question of what success is...

If you need to pick and choose wisely what advice to follow, then the advice is useless. Might as well pick and choose wisely what to do, directly.
