Who is Elon Musk?And why did he became an inspiration for Robert Downey?
It was just a tuesday - february 6th 2018.When Elon Musk launches the worlds most powerful active rocket, catapults his Tesla sports car into space.
Elon was born in south africa to a canadian mother and a south african father. Musk was a voracious reader.He was an unusually, introverted child, he was bullied, once so severely that he was hospitalised for a week.By the age of 10 hed taught himself computer programming.By 12, hed made a videogame and sold it to a magazine for $500.Aged just 27, musk reinvested his $22m windfall.
Without taking a moment to catch his breath, the young entrepreneur turned his gaze upwards and set up space exploration technologies, or spaceX, with the mission statement of enabling people to live on other planets. And in 2004 set up the electric car company Tesla.
He said "All transport, with the exception of rockets, will go fully elecric. I see the value of Tesla as a catalyst in that transition."
His two pet peeves are american cars and electric cars.The future does look exciting as the eccentric engineer plans the first Moon journey by humans since 1972 with billionaire passenger Yusaku Maezawa.And this is really just another stepping srone to musks ultimate goal, to reach and colonise Mars and beyond.
