Feels like a fluff article from the former wife of Elon Musk. Don't know if there is anything of substance or anything that I could apply to myself.

- w1ntermute 11y ago> Extreme success is not like other kinds of success; what has worked for someone else probably won't work for you.
- goodJobWalrus 11y agoI don't think it's fluff, it describes the man (in fairly unflattering light imo). Of course there is nothing applicable to you, you are (likely) not an extreme person like Musk. I don't think the point of the article is to teach you "How you too can be successful, just like Musk", but to shed a light on extreme personality from someone who knew him well. edit: although Vox's slug is how-to-be-successful, I still don't read that piece as "you too can be successful if you imitate what Elon does"
