successful organisms adapt. it does not look like musk is very adaptable, which severely limits his chances to be successful.
if you have a niche, and fail when you step out of it, perhaps you should quit stepping out if it...many people aren't even good at one thing, he needs to quit assuming he's good at everything.
Narcissists aren't adaptable because everything is about them; they feel that adaptation should be made for them..it's closely aligned to Emperor With No Clothes Syndrome.
