Ever since I saw the first few Musk presentations, it fundamentally changed how I view public speaking... all these talks, Ted, high school presentationswe were required to give, political speeches... they might be polished (some more, some less), but the fundamental problem is, that they have nothing interesting to say. On the other hand, Elon could get on the stage naked, covered with shit, and just grunt or make baby noises while showing a few slides, and it would be better that all of Ted put together, because it’s interesting, not just some experienced fancy speaker pushing our psychological buttons to tell us something we could read on Wikipedia in 1/10th of the time. So basically, public speaking skills are important for people who have nothing remarkable to say.
