He knows what he wants from the very beginning
He risks a lot. When he made his first big bucks selling PayPal, he did not invest it into Vanguard ETFs and sat on his butt. He took the money and went to different businesses. His risks are well diversified though into the fields where humanity cleary needs some push. It was almost certain that renewable energy is going to play a big part in the future energy demands, because oil reserves are being depleted and etc.
He’s a showman - He’s an awesome marketer. Has this aura of technological introvert, who wants and will change the world. He knows exactly when to tweet and speak so people listen.
He leverages great talents and lead by being an extreme workaholic.
I don’t think he’s much smarter than you dude, or that you could not get his “super - powers”.
