读《Tomorrow's Innovator》by Walter

ELON Musk's ability:

• to turn hyperbole into reality;
• his intense focus on driving every problem down to the level of basic physics;
• greater than normal ability to calculate risk and emotional ability to tolerate it;
• driven by a larger sense of mission;

His products:

• Tesla: electric cars and self-driving ones.
• Tesla Energy: solar roof tiles and battery walls.
• SpaceX: launch humans into orbit.
• Starlink: rebuilding the Internet in space.
• Neuralink: human machine interfaces, link to the neurons of a brain.
• Boring Co. : building tunnels designed to conquer the scourge of traffic.
• Starship: the biggest rocket which take us to Mars someday.

Earlier innovators:

• Thomas Edison and Telsa Nikola: expends 90% of his time on the nuts and bolts of his products.
• Henry Ford: to devise the products and build factories to churn them out.
• Steve Jobs: to question every assumption in order to drill down to the first principles of physics.
• Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos: hardcore intensity that can drive colleagues to near madness, drive them to do things they thought were impossible.
• Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci: obsessive and playful curiosity about all of the wonders of nature.

He has become the most important single individual in designing and deploying the innovations that bring us a few steps closer to each of these aspirations.
