How did Elon Musk succeed

Post Reply New Topic

By being privileged.

No?
Then by passing specific selection through survivorship bias.

Said bias might be the difference between an autistic who did it from those who couldn't.
But it's the same with NTs and humans overall.

It's just seem that it's a bit more prominent and skewed with neurodiversity.
But so do with orchids amongst dandelions.

He claims he has Asperger’s assuming he was diagnosed it must it must have been a while ago because he came out very recently but Asperger’s has not been diagnosed for nearly 10 years prior.

He still doesn’t give a great deal of info into his journey or even confirm he is diagnosed or self diagnosed?

If he is self diagnosed it’s reasonable to doubt he really is an aspie.

Asperger’s is for the most part an unidentified biological condition

Most people on here have Asperger’s/ autism which is also an unidentified condition in most cases.

So we have unidentified conditions that have some sort of overlap in symptoms so we should not assume his problems are the same as ours or others here.

Or what worked for him even if inheritance wasn’t involved would work for us.

About now .. am starting to doubt ,that this man actually has Asperger's...? ...just announced he is
Financing Governor Ron DeSantis Presidential Campaign run . And he has just got a major contract for The
United States Space Force..DeSantis's atitude towards people whom are neuro diverse ,and am not sure but maybe anti Lbgtq+ ,,,is one of Antagonism
And no recognition of person in bad situations from what i have seen in the general media . And wants the entire republican party to think the same way... And Good Ole boy Musk is right behind him.

Let me pose a slightly different question: can someone with autism/asperger’s be “successful”?

I think the answer is yes. It is all part of the spectrum. Money and your family of origin (“environment”) can make a difference. IQ and all of the things that go into it (“environment” and “genetics”) seems to matter. Co-morbid mental health issues matter (again “environment” and “genetics”). Another thing I notice, in Elon’s case and in others, is “training in your special interest”. If your special interest is in an area that also is a good money maker that can help with “success” and also “mental health”. Choices also matter - doing something you find meaningful. For some people “environment” and “genetics” completely dictate your life. This is also sometimes called “nature” and “nurture”. For many there is another aspect as well: the “spiritual”. The “will” or the choices you make is often cited as part of the “spiritual” side of a human being. Relationship with God is also part of this. For me this a big factor, the biggest, in true “success”.
I know one interesting fact about Elon - he considers himself an “Engineer”. According to an interview with his ex-wife whenever he would travel and had to fill out “job” on forms he would always fill in “Engineer”.
