Understanding Elon Musk & His Plan For The Future

“The world’s most remarkable living entrepreneur.”

“The real life Iron Man.”

If there’s one individual entrepreneur, thought-leader and change maker to follow today, it’s Elon Musk.

The things achieved by this sole individual in a career spanning 30 years is simply remarkable, and regardless of what lies ahead — he is worth studying.

Rather than try to recreate his whole career up until now, we’ve sourced one of the best in-depth (and easy to understand) looks at Elon’s career to-date and beyond.

Tim Urban, the owner and author of the hugely popular blog waitbutwhy.com, summarised his incredibly technical (and rollercoaster) career to date.

It’s easy and fun to read — so we can’t recommend it highly enough.

As the author and owner of the blog Tim Urban puts it:

“In building a successful automotive startup and its worldwide network of Supercharger stations, Musk has been compared to visionary industrialists like Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. The pioneering work of SpaceX on rocket technology has led to comparisons to Howard Hughes, and many have drawn parallels between Musk and Thomas Edison because of the advancements in engineering Musk has been able to achieve across industries. Perhaps most often, he’s compared to Steve Jobs, for his remarkable ability to disrupt giant, long-stagnant industries with things customers didn’t even know they wanted. Some believe he’ll be remembered in a class of his own. Tech writer and Musk biographer Ashlee Vance has suggested that what Musk is building “has the potential to be much grander than anything Hughes or Jobs produced. Musk has taken industries like aerospace and automotive that America seemed to have given up on and recast them as something new and fantastic.”
