Blankfein Says Elon Musk Is Only True Genius He Has Met
My First Million
How the Ex-Goldman CEO actually invests his own money
What was said
"Most of the people I meet, I can't— I'm not saying I can do what they do, but I could see how they can do what they do. Very few people have I met in my life where I can't even see the world through their eyes, or I can't even see how they do what they do. Elon Musk may be a guy like that where I don't know how."
After decades meeting world leaders and the ultra-wealthy, Lloyd Blankfein identified Elon Musk as potentially the only genuine genius he has encountered, distinguishing him from figures like Jeff Bezos whom Blankfein says he can understand. He explained that while he underwrote much of Musk's ventures at Goldman Sachs, Musk's thinking remains incomprehensible to him. This assessment from someone with intimate access to global elites carries significant weight in evaluating Musk's capabilities.
