Reading Musk's biography, the eye is fixed on the phrase a true visionary. Elon Musk is one such great visionary.
At a young age, Musk foresaw that the internet, renewable energy, and space travel would be the three major forces that would change the world. Not only did he foresee the future, but more importantly, he decided to be the shaper of that future.
So, he firmly began to show his skills in these three areas.
Starting with a $28,000 loan, he founded an early-stage internet startup that earned $22 million from what was then the largest startup** ever created.
While most people would choose to spend the rest of their lives comfortably on tens of millions of assets and honors, he hardly stopped and immediately devoted himself to the second entrepreneurial project.
He used the money to create another company. This company, which later merged with another company, grew together to become part of PayPal as we know it today.
Subsequently, he re-established the company and invested the proceeds in a more ambitious goal: to create a more economical way to travel in space, to make space travel more economical, to invest heavily in electric vehicles, and to promote the adoption of electric vehicles.
Musk's story of achieving his dream step by step from a $28,000 loan tells us that true foresight is not only about foreseeing the future, but also about having the courage to practice and constantly challenge the unknown. He defined with his actions what a true vision pioneer is.
Today, we enjoy the green travel brought by electric vehicles and yearn for the possibility of interstellar travel, all of which are inseparable from the extraordinary contribution of this visionary.
