> That said, I do wonder how Elon Musk, who's simultaneously trying to send humanity to Mars, convert the world to electric cars and solar panels, and create direct neural uplinks doesn't crack from the pressure though.

Not to mention what I would consider the most important commitment for any parent: how does he find enough time to be a good father to his 6 kids?

Easy answer: he’s not a good father. It’s his choice. I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong about it, but it’s sad for his kids. Steve Jobs was a shitty parent as well. You can’t have a balanced life if you want to be extraordinary. It’s literally impossible.

I'd say that not being a good father by choice rather than necessity could be considered pretty wrong.

As a father of three, I often feel I don't have enough time to be a good parent to that many. How does anyone have enough time to be a good parent to 6 children while also working? (That is, assuming "good" means more than "pays the bills and isn't a complete douchebag").
