Starting something new is incredibly hard. The default is that your company never even forms, and it's on you to overcome the activation energy. I don't think I'd have the mental fortitude to stick that out alone.
In contrast, there's nothing more motivating than working with great people (and it's hard to do better than Ilya, Sam, and Elon). Everyone brings their own core strengths to the table, and if you've picked well your own efforts will be multiplied.
Thanks for chiming in. Would you mind giving your thoughts on an important question here?
Which of your qualities specifically do you feel are actually under discussion here, and how would you recommend others build, enhance or foster those qualities if they wanted to do so?
In other words, assuming someone wanted to, how would they become more "Greg?"
I use to think the same things but I realized that all the soft skills that the other guy claimed he possessed were all attainable with relative ease compared to the hard skills around coding, machine learning etc.
