You can only get startup advice from one person - who is it?

Everyone has an opinion on how to build a startup, especially those who haven't done it well. I want to know the one person who you trust the most on the topic.

Musk because of the variety of companies he's built. Tesla is way different from Paypal for example.

@between_team True! Would love to hear what mental models he has that cross over
I think the most important thing is the stories of people working in the same job!
@kimsuyeon agreed! A lot of the generic advice doesn't translate well to other industries
I have a few quite successful entrepreneur friends. While their products can be very different from mine (corepo.org), their advice is always welcomed :)
Honestly for people who'd be tempted of answering someone like Musk (as I've seen in interviews), I don't think taking advice from billionaires is a good idea, as you can't compare their situation with yours
@rubenwolff Jealous about the successful entrepreneur friends!
Good point. Another tricky thing about copying the giants like Musk is that their approaches have evolved a lot since their startup days. What he's done now might not have worked during his early days
Elon Musk
@gleb_braverman agree, me too :)
There are so many people. I wish I could take advice from Steve Jobs
@jaskiran_kaur It'd be interesting to see his take on Apple now and how things have changed
@tyhitzeman True Ty!!!
I think Jeff Bezos will be great to get advice. Amazon has become so popular across the globe. Great Marketing strategies too.
