7 Shocking Facts About Serial Entrepreneur Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, and the Future of Humankind



We all know by now, unless you are living under a rock, that Elon Musk seems almost superhuman in his ability to bring dramatic change to huge industries. In his 25 year career he has tackled online mapping, banking, energy, space, batteries, automobiles, tunneling, trains, solar power, satellite broadband, and neuro-computer brain hookups. And though he has had a bunch of near misses, he has yet to fail in any of these efforts.

The record book of his achievements would require a longer post that this one, so let's just stick to the biggies:

1. SpaceX launched more rockets in 2018 than any sovereign country, much less company, has ever launched.
2. Tesla Model 3 is the best selling luxury car in the US, best selling sedan in the US, and best selling Electric Vehicle in the world.
3. The Tesla S with ludicrous is the fastest production car in 1/4 mile and 0-60. This record is in flux, but the only real challengers are limited production cars.
4. The Tesla Gigafactory is the largest building in the world (footprint.) Only the Boeing factory competes, and that is by volume, not footprint.
5. Tesla is the largest, by far, manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries. With it's partner, Panasonic, who provides the cells, Tesla makes 60% of the worlds lithium batteries.
6. Tesla has built the largest battery ever and pioneered the idea of using batteries as a way to make wind and solar generation more efficient.
7. SpaceX was the first private company to deliver supplies to the International Space Station

I wrote a book about this Musk character, because I believe that his methods will work for others who are seeking success in any field, but especially for entrepreneurs and those who wish to be self employed in the future. You can find the book at Amazon as Kindle, Paperback, and shortly in Audible.
