The Unvarnished Truth: Why You Don’t Really Want to Be Elon Musk
You sit there on your knock-off office chair, swiping through your socials, double-tapping on pictures of Elon Musk with his rocket ships, electric cars, and brain chips, thinking you want that life. Admit it, you’ve fantasized about being a billionaire maverick, a modern-day Tony Stark who can send a car into space just because he can. Right? But let me shatter that illusion for you, because you have no clue what it takes to be Elon Musk.
First off, you think it’s all glitz and glam at the zenith of the money mountain? Think again. It’s brutal up there. When was the last time you wrung yourself out over a decision that affected the livelihoods of thousands? When did you last stake literally billions on a single roll of the dice? There’s a reason they say it’s lonely at the top. The air’s thinner, it’s colder, and there’s no one to keep you company because very few make it up there.
You crave the spotlight of success, but with that comes a never-ending barrage. You become a bullseye for every keyboard warrior and media outlet looking for a headline. Forget privacy. Forget quiet dinners with family. Forget a moment’s peace. Can you handle being dissected in the public eye, your every move scrutinized and criticized? Think about that next time you’re enjoying a peaceful, anonymous walk in the park.
Prepared for long hours? Musk’s work ethic is the stuff of legend. The man gobbles up 100-hour workweeks like they’re nothing. You struggle to pull yourself together for a measly nine-to-five. He reads dense rocket science manuals for relaxation. What was the last book you even finished? Face it, this level of obsession and dedication is something most people can’t touch with a ten-foot pole.
And let’s talk about responsibility. Musk carries the weight of several companies on his shoulders. He’s driving the future forward, impacting energy, transportation, and space. What’s on your to-do list? Cleaning your room and making a dentist appointment? Get real. Be honest, if your biggest decision today was whether to have a latte or a cappuccino, you’re not even in the same universe as Musk.
The pressure. Oh, the pressure! It’s not just about making decisions; it’s about making decisions that could change the world. One wrong move, and you’re the villain tanking stocks, costing jobs, or worse, lives. Your biggest mishap to date is probably nothing more than a dent in your car’s fender. Scale that up a few thousand times, and welcome to Elon’s Tuesday morning.
Listen, dreaming big is not the problem. The problem is the delusion that it’s all sunshine and rocket ships without sacrifices. True visionaries pay a price in blood, sweat, and tears, a price most aren’t willing to pay.
So you wish you were Elon Musk? Start by asking yourself if you have the grit to endure the burdens he carries. If your answer is anything but a resounding and unwavering yes, then it’s time to stop coveting the throne and start appreciating the chair you’re sitting in. Because, my friend, the crown is heavy, and it’s forged in fires most can’t withstand. Elon Musk is where he is because he can bear that heat. Can you?
You don’t know half of what this man has to do or be to be who he is
It’s super lonely at the top are you prepared
There’s a mindset you just have to have to reach these levels
