> People dismiss his obvious success elsewhere in other insanely hard domains

People also dismiss his failures in hard domains, like The Boring Company.

He’s in the arena. And that’s what people respect.

But has he failed at Boring?

If he didn’t fail sometimes in hard domains then they wouldn’t be hard.

He’s intentionally choosing to do things that have a relatively high likelihood of failure.

The Boring Company hasn't succeeded yet, but that's quite different from failure.
