Good take.

Personal antics aside, Elon's core company building skills:

1. Best fundraiser in the world

2. Best person in the US for building at-scale physical infrastructure quickly and cheaply

3. Ability to recruit talented people

4. Ability to push those people to their breaking point / best work for their lives

Steve Jobs had 3 / 4 and partnered with Tim Cook for 2 (albeit in a different way). Sama is probably second best in the world on fundraising, very high on 3 / 4 but recent 12 months of departures have been tough.

elon delivering world class results with grok 4 while meta’s burning $200m per engineer is pretty remarkable.

people keep underestimating how much top builders want to follow a strong, even if polarizing leader.

Wdyt makes him the best fundraiser? Is it the Twitter acquisition or something else? I’m not too familiar with the fundraising aspect of his work

OSS + Rust. My goal in life is the ability to stop thinking at will

Ability to raise more capital than anyone else for a brand new thing. 

Look at xAI.
