Early Promotions of ‘Me Too Elon Musk’<\/h2>\n

Few have succeeded in the same manner as Elon Musk. From his ingenuity of merging electrical engineering and business to his ambitious and unparalleled vision for his endeavors, Elon Musk stands as a power and inspiration to many. On such a remarkable track record, it was no surprise that in 2011, a group of people from San Francisco, USA, started a campaign to promote the idea of becoming the ‘Elon Musk of their own world’. The campaign was aptly titled ‘Me Too Elon Musk’. It soon spread beyond the US, with eager supporters springing up in multiple countries, like the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n

The central belief of the movement was in encouraging people to take risks and not be afraid of failure, important values embodied by Elon Musk himself ever since his early days in the business. Despite the comprehensive success he has achieved, still, he continues to undertake risks and be open to failing; something people too often forget as they get envious of his successes.<\/p>\n

By popularising the term ‘me too’, the campaign underlined the importance of learning from this and, most importantly, adapting it into a personalised plan for success. The impetus of the movement came from identifying the amount of people that found Elon Musk a source of inspiration, with the bumper sticker that symbolised the campaign reading the following: ‘I want to be the Elon Musk of My Own World.’ A song was even produced with the same subject matter, further adding to the overall sense of positivity and enthusiasm of the venture.<\/p>\n

The success of the movement as a motivation tool, however, was not without criticism. Many highlighted the potential of encouraging people beyond just being Elon Musk, pointing out that there were many entrepreneurs that were successful and could also provide the same sort of inspiration, such as the late Steve Jobs and Richard Branson. Nevertheless, the net result was positive: it drew attention to the role of taking risks, improvising and personalising your path to success. <\/p>\n
