Hubris, "exaggerated pride or self-confidence," is a turn-off. That's the problem for many people who don't like Elon Musk. He has huge ambition and makes huge claims that are far beyond average, sometimes well beyond what can be believed, that seem inauthentic or even ridiculous.
But . . he has an enormous following all over the world because, incredibly, he has made some of his ridiculous claims a reality. His two biggest successes turned two global industries on their heads, the car industry and the space industry. So millions of people listen up when he talks about his plans and that includes investors. Because it's not hubris if you can make it happen.
He recently gave a talk from Starbase, the site of SpaceX in Texas, to sum up progress being made on the Starship project. SpaceX in its history since its startup in 2002 has completed 144 successful rocket launches and 106 successful landings.
