Elon Musk is an entrepeneur, investor and innovator who is widely recognised for his incredible accomplishments in the business world. This South African-born tech guru has transformed three industries in the world – clean energy, private space exploration, and transportation – and became one of the most inspirational figures of our time.<\/p>\n

Musk’s humble beginnings underscore the inspirational nature of the story he is building. He was born in Pretoria, South Africa and dropped out of Stanford University just days into his PhD to pursue a career in Silicon Valley. He was determined to break away from the conventional mode of thinking, something that motivated him to start four companies in the space of a decade.<\/p>\n

Musk’s business acumen has been further demonstrated by the success of SpaceX, his aerospace company. In 2006, Musk founded the company with the goal of reducing the cost of space exploration in order to ultimately make life multi-planetary. Since then, SpaceX has become the world’s leading private spaceflight company and created an ever-growing rocket re-use program.<\/p>\n

Musk also founded Tesla, a company devoted to developing electric cars, solar energy, and energy storage technologies. Under Musk’s leadership, Tesla created the world’s first affordable, long-range electric car with autopilot and “Ludicrous Mode,” a feature that enables the driver to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. Tesla has since become one of the most valuable car companies in the world.<\/p>\n
