All the schemes were made by me 💫

Elon Musk’s two primary strategic goals

To make humanity an interplanetary civilization by building a base on Mars 🚀

&

To accelerate the development of sustainable energy to combat global warming ♨️

If we don’t become interplanetary, the possibility of human extinction becomes increasingly likely.

Global warming exacerbates this risk and acts as a timer. The slower global warming progresses, the more time we have to work towards becoming interplanetary before it’s too late ⏳

Let’s deep dive into a more detailed breakdown of the strategies of Tesla and SpaceX as the main executors of the goals

1️⃣ Space X Strategy

SpaceX’s strategy is focused on reducing the cost of space travel and making it more accessible. They have achieved this through the development of reusable rockets and spacecraft, which allows for the reuse of expensive components and reduces the overall cost of spaceflight 🚀

Space X strategy

Space X is focused on 2 big aerospace problems that lead to a very high cost per KG
➡️ a rocket is a single use
➡️ it should lift up a lot of fuel

2️⃣Tesla Strategy

Tesla is leading the electric vehicle production and development, while also developing energy storage solutions that can store energy from renewable sources.

Tesla strategy

Tesla is using OpenAI’s technology to improve its electric vehicle functionality and safety features. OpenAI’s machine learning algorithms are being used to develop advanced autopilot features that can analyze vast amounts of data in real time and make intelligent decisions based on that data.

And SolarCity has allowed the company to expand its offerings beyond electric vehicles and energy storage solutions into the solar energy market. By leveraging SolarCity’s expertise in the design, installation, and maintenance of solar panel systems, Tesla has been able to offer customers a complete sustainable energy solution that includes both solar energy generation and energy storage.

Overall, the power of synergy between Elon Musk’s companies lies in their ability to collaborate, share resources, and leverage each other’s strengths to achieve their goals. This collaborative approach has helped Musk’s businesses achieve remarkable success in their respective fields, and it will likely continue to drive innovation and progress in the years to come 😎
