The problem is that a company has nothing to do with a country, the goal isn't to have a positive balance at the end of the excel spreadsheet

- edanm 2y agoI agree. Still, it's not a logical fallacy to think "someone very successful at X is more likely to be successful at Y", in many cases. Do you think that there is literally zero correlation between massive business success and success at whatever-it-is Musk is trying to do now? (I agree it's a fallacy if you think is' assured he will succeed, as opposed to this just being a correlation in your mind. I just bumped on the use of "logical fallacy" to describe something that is not a fallacy at all!)
- thecosas 2y agoI think you may have captured the point best in the way you phrased this: "whatever-it-is Musk is trying to do now" That it's not entirely clear makes it impossible to know if it might be something he could have success in.
