> one or two hit wonders

Very few are two hit. Three is incredibly rare (Steve Jobs).

Let's look at his hits:

1. Paypal

2. Tesla

3. SpaceX

4. Starlink

5. xAI

6. Neuralink (looking promising)

7. X (looking promising)

8. Boring (successful, but not a breakout success)

9. Solar City (less successful, now part of Tesla)

BTW, Jobs had his failure too - Next

By any objective measure, Musk's business success is incredible.

I'm not just making an argument. I invested in his companies, and am enjoying the returns.

When you list it like that, it's incredibly impressive. He's clearly autistic, and says and does very socially awkward things, but this is the kind of person which moves society ahead by decades. SpaceX alone has reduced space transport by 10 *times.* Starlink provides internet to everyone, anywhere in the world. [This](https://youtu.be/sX1Y2JMK6g8?si=rV5_BKsbPc2GPg3n&t=195) is like something out of a really cool sci-fi, but it's real life. It's going to be in the history books forever.

It's so impressive, I would never have believed it possible.

What's so sad is how others dismiss it all with "you didn't build that" and other nonsense.

Does that mean you are invested in Tesla or do you have private stakes in his other companies? Because all the other companies are separate and I feel like some people are investing in Tesla thinking they get part of SpaceX or something
