Some people are intimidated by success of others, especially if they don't have much going on in their own lives. And some people get excited and motivated by it and want to do more. Those would be the caliber of people who end up working at Tesla or SpaceX or Apple, etc and join the fun.

I don't think it's as much "Success of others" as it's "Musk is a twatwaffle". I say this as a daily EV driver.
