Lovers and Fighters | Section 22

Elon Musk is who I have chosen for this blog post. Born in South Africa in 1971, Elon is now one of the most successful entrepreneur/engineer in the world. Due to his perseverance and great vision of what is to be accomplished, Elon has achieved what many would call “the American Dream”. While this is undoubtedly true, he has done much more. As a result of his company SpaceExplorations’ unthinkable achievements and drastic rocket improvements, Elon himself set a new standard for space missions across the world. How can one man possibly compete with an organization such as NASA?? Not knowing the answer to this question is why I cannot help but be inspired by his story. If we only look at what he’s accomplished in the space industry, it can be easy to forget that Elon is also responsible for the epidemic of “eco-friendly” cars who have been invading our streets. Already 17 years ago, in 2003, Musk founded the well-known company “Tesla” hoping to prove to the world that electricity was the future. While pursuing his dreams, Elon Musk has a positive impact on the world’s future as well as everyone’s lives which is simply admirable.
