The main difference between Elon Musk and &#x27;the rest of us&#x27; is that he set himself a bunch of ambitious goals and applies each and every bit of his funds and intellect towards achieving those goals and inspires a large number of very smart people around him to share his dreams. It&#x27;s a tough act to follow, but if you really wanted to you probably could. Whether or not you&#x27;re prepared to pay the price is another matter.
