Why Elon Is Literally Napoleon

Elon Musk is Literally Napoleon.

In his own words: "Napoleon was incredible. If they see their general on the battlefield, they will be more motivated. I learned that by reading about Napoleon."

I have read thousands of pages on both Elon and Napoleon and I am convinced that Elon Musk is literally Napoleon. They think the same way. They work the same way. Their organizations are structured the same way. This episode goes over 13 similarities between Elon Musk and Napoleon Bonaparte, split into three sections (their mindset, their work habits, and their organization). These similarities are often what makes them great, and are applicable for founders, CEOs, and operators.

The same way Elon studied Napoleon is the way we should study Elon. So dive in as we go over the sameness of Elon Musk and Napoleon Bonaparte.
