I'd even go so far as to say all people are average, in some aspect or another. Nobody is the top of every single aspect. Nobody. Not even Elon Musk :)
- CM30 10y agoTrue. It's arguably more 'most people at average at any one specific thing'.

- noir_lord 10y agoI think sometimes been good at a few things beats been great at one thing, that's the category musk falls into, he reminds me of Thomas Edison far more than Tesla (somewhat ironically considering the name be chose for his car company). That said I think he is very good at communications, he has managed to carve his own style in that arena.
