Times of India · business

Justine Musk, Elon Musk's first wife, argues that sheer determination and hard work are insufficient to become a billionaire. Responding to a Quora question, she stated that the premise of achieving extreme wealth solely through effort is flawed. Musk advised aspiring individuals to focus on what the world needs rather than personal desires for money. She emphasized developing unique, hard-to-replace skills by combining expertise from different fields, suggesting that value creation, not just effort, attracts wealth. She cautioned that the journey is unpredictable and success is not guaranteed.
