Many forget he literally put every dollar he had into Tesla and got very close to broke - few are willing to absorb that level of personal financial risk.
Said differently, none of Musk's accomplishments are unbelievable engineering accomplishments, they're just really hard problems solved by someone with the grit, tenacity, and risk tolerance to do it ... and few have that.
End of the day, all great business strategy can be summed up in 4 words: do something very hard.
Which makes Musk the ultimate business strategist.
