Inspiring men for me have to be, of their business skills like Branson, Warren Buffet, JayZ, Gates, Steve Jobs, Tony fernandes, Narayan Murthy...their thinking, attitude, wealth acquired, the way they present themselves to the outer world are been prioritized besides checking their Wikipedia for the number of wives, girlfriends, divorces...
How about Space Travel business...well it is not Branson's...Solar energy...its not suzlon...Climatic change?Electric cars....yes it is the man who was the inspiration for the character Tony Strak IRON MAN...the mix of Science and business is always interesting...
Elon Musk does business for Electric cars - Telsa, Space travel - SpaceX, Energy - Solar City....he is the co-founder of Paypal
Its really amazing to know that the travel time between New York and Los Angles which is around 4000Km takes only 45mts in Elon Musk's wagon..if the travel time is been reduced...think about the possibility of its..Omg...you can travel from Jammu(Kashmir) to kanyakumari in about 45mts??!! which now takes more than 48 hours...New Delhi to Chennai can be around 25mts...less the travel time from one end of the Ranganathan street to another....
When I was working in Malaysia, I use to think of taking 7am flight in the morning from my house in Chennai(India) to reach my office by 9.30am in Kuala Lumpur(Malaysia) everyday with the monthly pass from Airasia, it was one among many such dreams...when read about Elon Musk's hyper loop's possibility...My dream has come true, its going to happen..may not be tomorrow...might be in years or decades to come...may not be in India..may be in US..maybe lately in India...there is a possibility of traveling from Chennai to Kuala Lumpur in 30mts! So the thinking patter of Elon Musk is same as mine...but mine was too strong on thinking...his was in action...thats how he made Cameron Diaz to run behind him!
Been a 41years of dreams and ambitions, growing up in Pretoria (South Africa), the son of a Canadian mother and South African father, he taught himself coding and software, mixing geek talent with business nous: he designed and sold a video game, Blastar, by the age of 12. He later studied economics and physics in Canada and the US and moved to Silicon Valley, resolving to focus on three areas: the internet, clean energy, space.
Musk made his mark by co-founding PayPal, which transformed e-commerce, in 1999. He sold it three years later to eBay for $1.5bn. When, armed with this fortune, he turned to space exploration, the consensus said he was nuts. Building and launching rockets was the preserve of states – big states, because small states tended to spend a fortune trying and still fail.
It is easy to dream..very easy to think beyond the limits..but how many are been recognized for their actions taken towards their wild dreams...Hyperloop, Travel to mars, working for Climatic changes, producing Electric cars, Solar Energy..Elon Musk is an inspiration not only to Iron Man...but for everybody in the future!!!
