ELON MUSK AND A TALE OF TWO DISRUPTIVE COMPANIES

摘要

Companies in the space and automobile industries have a new kid on the block who is turning their world upside down.Elon Musk and his two companies, SpaceX and Tesla, are works in progress. The morning headlines and his tweets have taught the world to expect the unexpected from him on a daily basis. For example, one might wake up and find he has invested Tesla company earnings in Bitcoin. Then, by the end of the quarter, he manages to make more on Bitcoin appreciation than selling cars.Don't expect Musk to ever be satisfied with what he has already achieved in space launch and electric cars. His ambition and relentless energy seem to know no bounds, and we may not have seen anything yet if he successfully gets the United States to Mars. Let's be glad that as a teenager, he decided to move from South Africa, where he was born, to Canada and then America, instead of to Russia or China - two other space-faring nations.
