>I'd even go so far as to say all people are average, in some aspect or another. Nobody is the top of every single aspect. Nobody. Not even Elon Musk :)

He's not even the top investor, inventor, industrialist or generally the top of anything that is his core competency.

I think sometimes been good at a few things beats been great at one thing, that's the category musk falls into, he reminds me of Thomas Edison far more than Tesla (somewhat ironically considering the name be chose for his car company).

That said I think he is very good at communications, he has managed to carve his own style in that arena.

The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:

Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show.

And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!

Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.

True. It's arguably more 'most people at average at any one specific thing'.
