In fact, Elon Musk never left his nursery. For him, the world is a playground where he wants to realize his dreams of rockets, cars or tunnel systems, says our author. For this reason, the US magazine Time has named him “Personality of the Year”.
From Frank Schmiechen
What’s behind Elon Musk’s success? Part of the answer is simple: hard work. The man never stops working. He is driven, does not give up, never comes to rest. It can be a nightmare for his employees. At Tesla’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California, his office door was always open. To the horror of the employees. Because through this, Musk was always present and incessantly urged to work. Often with harsh words. Many couldn’t take it.
The second part of the answer is more complicated. When you look at Musk’s projects, you get the feeling that a man is making his childhood dreams come true. Rockets for trips to the moon – or even to Mars. Tunnel systems under the cities should accommodate future car traffic and relieve the overcrowded streets. Or how about an above-ground tunnel system that can transport people in capsules from Los Angeles to San Francisco in a few minutes? This idea, the so-called Hyperloop, is currently being implemented.
Many have not even understood what Tesla is at its core. His company only deals with self-driving electric cars at first glance. In reality, it’s about technology, the development of artificial intelligence and self-learning systems. Software is the core of the business model. Not the hardware that we now see more and more on our streets.
What Elon Musk learned from Steve Jobs
I saw Elon Musk live on a stage in San Francisco many years ago. That said a man who doesn’t like being in the spotlight. He has since improved significantly when it comes to public appearances. Today he is able to turn on his humor and boyish charisma, like a bedside lamp. But he still prefers to follow his ideas. And their rapid implementation.
Elon Musk learned from Apple founder Steve Jobs and listened carefully: “You can quote them, you can contradict them, you can glorify or demonize them, there is only one thing you cannot do: ignore them – because they change things. You bring the human race forward. Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world do it too. “
Just like Jobs, Musk doesn’t want to put up with accepting the world as others have made up for him. He has managed to keep the dreams of his childhood and is working flat out to create the world as he has always imagined it. It does not work? Have we never done this before? Technically impossible? Anyone who claims this has no place in the world of Elon. That is the secret of its success.
