Elon Musk: How I Became The Real Life Iron Man

Only a very few numbers of people can have the courage to chase their wildest dreams come true and Elon Musk is one of them.

Elon Musk was a multi-millionaire by the time he reached the age of thirty-one thanks to his creation of the company that became PayPal, the popular money-transfer service for Web consumers. Musk is called the real life Iron Man because he is continuously using his newfound wealth to help turn science-fiction dreams into reality. Musk is the founder of SpaceX.

This company is on a mission of building the Falcon rocket, which he hoped could someday make both space tourism and a colony on the planet Mars realistic goals for humankind. Musk is also involved in developing a high-speed transportation system known as Hyperloop where the aim is to transport people at the half speed of sound.
Elon Musk was the second entrepreneur in the Silicon Valley who managed to create three companies with the market cap of more than $1 billion – PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors. According to a report Elon Musk used to work 80-100 hours per week. His distinctive personality traits like risk taking, critical thinking, accurate self-analysis and hard work are what make him the real life iron man. When an interviewer asked Musk why he indulges himself in all those high risk and high ambitious projects, he answered “I just want to think about the future and not be sad”. We all know that day by day the climate change is becoming a big threat to the human civilization and in order to survive we should switch to renewable energy resources as soon as possible. But most of us choose to do nothing about it except just feeling sorry about the future. But Elon Musk doesn’t want to live that way.

So, he started Tesla Motors, to build commercially viable electric cars to accelerate the world’s transition to a sustainable energy future. In 2016, Elon Musk bought SolarCity, the leading provider of solar power systems in the United States, and in 2017 released Solar Roof – a beautiful and affordable energy generation product.
He is also CEO of Neuralink, which is developing ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect the human brain to computers. Elon also founded and serves as CEO of The Boring Company, which combines fast, affordable tunneling technology with an all-electric public transportation system in order to alleviate soul-crushing urban congestion and enable high-speed long-distance travel.
Elon Musk is the 21st-century industrialist, who brings the most fantastic ideas into life. According to him, "Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough."
