Tesla And Elon Musk: The Rebirth Of The Futurist
The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine — Nikola Tesla.
As a futurist, Scientist Nikola Tesla has made many inventions who’s dream has been carried forward by a notorious workaholic, with a fortune hovering around $20 billion. The 46-year-old CEO of Tesla, Space X and co-founder of ‘Open AI’ who is also the world’s richest rocket scientist, has said he won’t be happy until we’ve escaped Earth and colonized Mars which shows us his vision of a futurist.
Elon Musk started his programming life at the age of 9 where other kids would be watching cartoons. Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa. As a child, Musk was so lost in his daydreams about inventions that his parents and doctors ordered a test to check his hearing. His ideas of a futurist were thought like a madman’s theory even by his parents until he made it possible.
Musk developed an interest in computers where he discovered his love for programming. He taught himself how to program, and when he was 12 he sold his first software: a game he created called Blastar which is better than Flappy Bird, a well-known game.
Creating companies has been a kind of hobby for Musk. Creating, Failing and learning has been his mantra over the years.
Falcon 9 Rockets
History recreated with Space X when the company launched its Falcon 9 rocket into space with an unmanned capsule. The vehicle was sent to the International Space Station with 1,000 pounds of supplies for the astronauts stationed there, marking the first time a private company had sent a spacecraft to the International Space Station. Of the launch, Musk was quoted as saying, “I feel very lucky. … For us, it’s like winning the Super Bowl.”
Elon has been referred to as “the dopey one” -nickname of Albert Einstein, in his ideas and on how he goes about inventing them. Think like Tesla, do like Elon.
