> But this guy is so lucky that he managed to do it in: SpaceX, Paypal, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company.

Not so great examples.

The Boring Company only real customer is the city of Las Vegas. Nothing much to show apart from that.

Neuralink is barely a R&D project, and still not making any money.

PayPal wasn't a Musk's venture, x.com was. x.com lasted for a couple years. Musk was the CEO for maybe a year. Essentially, he cashed out on the success of Thiel as CEO after PayPal went public and was sold to eBay.

SpaceX is very much still losing money.

> I understand why people don't like Musks opinion on many things but to infer that he has somehow become the richest man in the world by accident is disingenuous.

Not by accident, and richest only on paper.

But he was indeed incredibly fortunate and somewhat lucky. The fact that he is successful doesn't change that.
