In addition to successfully reproducing 6 times Elon Musk has also successfully accumulated a very large amount of resources. Rather than whining about his supposedly immoral business practices we should learn from him, clearly what he has been doing has worked (at least so far) so he must have done a lot of stuff right.

Going by official net-worth figures Elon Musk is not the richest person in the world. He did eventually cash out some of his Tesla stock so he does hold significant cash in the case Tesla and spaceX would go bankrupt (which nearly happened multiple times before he cashed out).

It's pretty clear that a big factor in Elon Musk becoming so rich is luck, he took very big risks and it happened to work out, this might not continue to work out for him.

Leadership style
Musk has a very autocratic and hands on leadership style. He alone control what spaceX does and he isn't afraid to use his autocratic power, he rules like an ancient Roman emperor.


Interestingly the company that is arguably the most competetive is his private spaceX company where Elon Musk has autocratic control. He also has higher approval rating as CEO for spaceX than Tesla among employees.
