I'm pretty sure the answer wouldn't have garnered so much attention had a normal person (not Elon's ex-wife) written it.

- testguy34 11y agoBecause then it would just be some random person's opinion.
- flying_whale 11y agoThe opinion is as generic as that of a random person. There's nothing in the answer which provides an actual insight into the making of a billionaire. Maybe there are no insights. Maybe it is all a sum of the generic things she spoke of, and pure luck of having successful consecutive ventures. But to put it simply, it's not that great of a Quora answer.
- exelius 11y agoIt's a generic answer because it's a stupid question.
- balabaster 11y agoIt probably wouldn't have garnered as much attention, however, this appears to be a common sentiment of those largely considered rich and/or successful. It doesn't make the advice less valuable.
- exelius 11y agoProbably not, because most of us don't know a self-made billionaire. But because she does, it gives her answer credibility.
- balabaster 11y agoIt says a lot about her that she answered so gracefully about her ex though. That garners a great amount of respect from me. So many exes are just bitter and eager to stick the knife in. It's refreshing to hear someone say positive things about their ex.
