I also believe that a person who wants to change the world has to be ruthless about it.

If you have a great, unconventional idea, you will not get it through without being obsessive, careless about other people thoughts and sometimes even their feelings.

Very good article! I enjoyed it a bunch :)

Unfortunately, I think you are right 🙃

I think each system needs both disruptors and "nice guys" executing. If we had only disruptors there would be too many ideas and little execution.

At the same time, I think people like Musk polarize a lot. They get some people to run away. But the ones that stay, are committed and accept his ways.

Otherwise, if everyone ran away, there would be no company just disruptors.

It was also a good learning for me to realize not everybody has to be a disruptor to have a good life. Some invent (from 0 to 1) and those that scale (from 1 to N)

I had the same realization - being a distruptor is just not for everyone. And it's not something you can will or train yourself to become.
