But can you infer this from their Wikipedias?

Why do I need to go to a website when I'm fairly well informed about the lives of both?

Because the prior OP tried to direct me to wiki to learn about them. This chain has context.

Musk at one point was one explosion away from bankruptcy.

I wasn't talking about tech, but about their character.

Risk tolerance is a component of character. Musk has put his entire fortune on the line more than once, and more than once was a whisker from bankruptcy.

I'm far less of a risk taker than he is, and have consequently not made big scores like Musk.

You're also not an asshole, but Musk is.

> You're also not an asshole

Some disagree with your assessment(!)

> but Musk is

I'm going to reserve judgement on that because the media lens is pretty distorting. He's not afraid to stand up to bullies, and I've seen that interpreted as assholishness.

Steve Jobs also had a reputation as an asshole. A couple of my friends had encounters with him, and I asked is he really an asshole? Both confidently said yes. !!
