Elon Musk

[AFTT47]

Musk's "daddy" didn't have a lot of money. Again, do the research for yourself rather than parrot bullshit others have been spouting. He earned $millions on his own. He slept on the floor of his factories until the point he was nearly bankrupt. He worked his ass off to the point where most of us would have lost it. The information is out there. Read it.

He got a $400 million federal loan from the federal government (which he paid back with interest) to keep Tesla going for obvious reasons: It is in the nation's best interest to develop electric vehicles which can be powered entirely by solar panels rather than foreign oil. It also put America in a leadership position on technology which is obviously the future.

He got contracts for replacing Russian rockets to the international space station and became the first private company to launch humans to orbit. He beat competitor Boeing by > 6 years.

You don't like the guy? I get it. I don't like him (anymore) either. I wouldn't shed a tear if he suddenly died of lead poisoning. But take advice from Sun Tzu and know your enemy.
