I agree with you but imagine if Elon had listened when people said the same thing about starting an electric car company, a reusable rocket company or a brain-interface company.

Or if Michael Jackson had listened to all the people that told him the sounds on his album were too crazy and fused too many genres together.

Ultimately it's a fine line between genius and crazy. You have to acknowledge that often where genius resides, so does crazy.

I mean look at Steve Jobs, clearly incredible talent - but also harbored some unconventional beliefs about medicine which many say ultimately led to his premature death.

Even Achilles had his heel.
