Mark is younger than everyone on that list, so I'll suggest that it has more to do with age. Everyone has insight in their respective fields, but I think a certain level of adversity and time is necessary for one to turn a lot of that insight into wisdom. Tesla and Spacex almost didn't make it out alive during the 2008 financial crisis, and I recall Musk mentioning that when it looked like his two companies would be a failure, he'd wake up with tears on his pillow. I think at the moment, Mark is definitely trying to not upset his share price by saying something that doesn't need to be said. We don't know how he is internalizing things right now. Hopefully we will get more wisdom from him in the future, that stuff doesn't just grow on trees. Gates is pretty interesting from whatever talks/interviews I can remember.
