I am drawn to the comparison between the two most innovative CEOs of the last three decades: Musk $Tesla(TSLA.US$ and Bezos $Amazon(AMZN.US$.
The commonalities are huge:
• both are visionary & brilliant;
• both are distinguished by their execution not just their ability to see where the puck is going;
• nothing modest about their ambitions -- world domination is the only ambition that counts;
• when they see a legacy impediment, they see it as an extraordinary opportunity to reinvent and disrupt -- from the ground up;
• they attract talent;
• both are fearless about entering new sectors in which they have zero demonstrated expertise (insurance, healthcare & logistics are the tip of the iceberg;
• they both have the intergalactic space bug so bad it hurts.

The differentiators are more nuanced. To me, they mostly involve style. One loves smoking pot on the telly, inciting the SEC on TW and generally being a bad boy. The other is decidedly less flamboyant. One has staked out an enormous philanthropic ambition; the other . . . not so much.

Wilson_wu : Their IQ may be ten times that of me
Baby u : This is an insult to Elon Musk.
Jeff Bezos made some good decisions. He was lucky no competent people tried to compete with Amazon for more than a decade.
643YVeALhF : Both of them have had unlimited access to capital and did not make a profit for more than a decade. Not every business gets to keep tweaking things at a loss until they find a way to succeed.
Amazon became profitable once they introduced AWS, not before.
Nick fun : They have been touting selling insurance for a long time. It is getting old listening to people say how brilliant Tesla will do at it.
ViViiAnnnnn Nick fun: It is like Musk's claim of dying on Mars but not on impact...All day I think ... when?...when?...when?
areecep : Cathie Wood is selling again....she needs money
