Don’t be fooled. Musk did not found Tesla (he bought it). He founded SpaceX after having bought access to decision makers via the Mars Society.

He co-founded several company, e.g. Paypal.

AFAIK, the only 2 companies he really founded alone was the original X (a bank from which he was removed by the Board because he was unexperienced) and The Boring Company (a company that -basically- prevented any serious investment in railway system in the USA, by promising and not delivering anything.

So don’t feel bad…

Now, to your situation. You need to talk to as many people as possible to understand what problems they have. Attend pitching events (eventually online) to see what problems create resonance with investors/incubators. Look incubators around you, and which startups are accepted in their programs.

You can’t find problems from your sofa, so you need to get out.

Totally legit. 20c led to billion in business… Ni avertissement, no financing, no lobbying… Just a single cookie.
