Elon Musk who is now at odds with Pres Donald Trump (the latter threatening to deport him) heads X, Space X, Neuralink, and Tesla and now the richest man on the planet. Though he failed 1000 times, there were 3 events where he said he cried.
Nothing to be ashamed of because this is a reset A reboot. When there is all ready plenty of noise and the leader has lost clarity. This 3 events (SIP for Andrew Grove?) made all things clear later on:
1. When he was kicked out of X com which later on became Paypal
2. When both Tesla and space x nearly became bankrupt;
3. After Dragon had a third successful launch
The reset and clarity that came in:
1. For Xcom, choose your partner well and watch out signs for future coup de tat, and protect yourself
From the $150 million he got from the X com acquisition by Ebay, he invested in space X and Tesla
He discovered that business is not just about coding and software, there were other businesses as well
2. He became more conservative and worked harder at Tesla and Space X when they nearly went bankfrupt. He had to devote himself to just 3 things a day, and not micromanage the noise around
3. The third was more frightening for him. Because the successful launch was just the beginning and mean more challenges for Space X. The challenge of Martian community is 1,000 times more challenging and difficult than the simple orbit launches they made. Bigger challenges lay ahead
For Elon, failures are challelnges and learning and they should make you better and stronger.
