The problem with these articles is that they tell you the 'what' but not the how. I would argue everyone knows the 'what' but the 'how' is not really possible explain, otherwise everyone would be an Elon Musk. So it's implicit. So cool story, but i don't think it will help anyone

This is hinging on the assumption that there is a how. You can do everything a successful person does and still fail spectacularly -- many people aiming for success do. It isn't like baking cookies where you are more or less guaranteed a result if you do the correct steps.

Yeah, that's the TLDR for Ben Horowitz's "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" -- there is no recipe.

Also hinges on the assumption that Elon Musk is someone that one should aspire to emulate.

Saying something without saying anything at all seems more your style
stick around
