A few thoughts on this. Apologies for the sloppiness of the writing. Threw this together hastily off the top of my mind.

One way to look at this is that Elon is actually what a normal human is supposed to act like, and to flip the question around on ourselves.

What is it about the rest of us that is so internally discordant? Most of us, I think it is fair to say, wish we'd act differently than we do (or we've had long periods of time where that has been the case).

We say we want and value one set of things yet our actions suggest otherwise. Either we aren't being honest about what we really want, or somehow we can't seem to get ourselves to habitually do what we say we actually want.

Or maybe what we want is a very unstable rapidly changing thing. What about our core values? Are they a very unstable changing thing? Probably not. So why don't we act in line with our professed core values more consistently throughout our lives in the ways we use our time and spend our attention?

It seems to me Elon does do that.

Maybe most of us are virtue signalling (even to ourselves) more than talking about what we actually value and want to do, and maybe Elon actually holds the values, and really does want what he says he wants, in addition to merely talking about them. Or our values and desires are genuine but there is something going on with the rest of us that makes us unable to do what we say we want to do.

It seems to me Elon is a more consistent human and that seems to me like that's something that should be more normal.

Maybe we should ask the question "Why are so many of us so ineffective?" Why do so many of of struggle to do what we think we should do, what we think we really want to do, or what we want ourselves to want to do? Do you really want to do what you say you want to do? Then why don't you do it? Maybe that's the more relevant question rather than "Why is Elon able to do what he says he wants to do?"

Many of us could be far more effective it seems to me if we would only follow our own advice. Why don't we? Maybe that is the weird thing.
