A friend at Stanford had a lecture taught by one of Musk's old friends who's now a partner at Greylock. The friend said they all used to fly to Vegas 10-15 years ago and that Elon used to just double down after doubling down at blackjack – that it was very indicative of his perception of risk. Apparently he and Peter Thiel also used to debate about who was going to get to Mars first. In the lecturer's words: "Yeah, looks like Elon is probably gonna win that one now."
