Musk, The Tech Daredevil

Twenty years ago, Musk set his goal: sustainable energy, the Internet, space exploration, artificial intelligence, and human genetics.

He said: ” We are very likely to fail, but I still want to stick to my original ideals.”

Musk is still constantly challenging the boundaries of technology and business with his dreams and passion.

Just as every superhero has a gloomy past, Musk, despite his wealthy background, is destined to continuously drive himself to the verge of bankruptcy thanks to his daring lifestyle. Even now, serious skepticism and criticism still bombard this real-life Tony Stark.

Musk has never shied away from public scrutiny. Although he does sometimes boast of unattainable promises, more often than not, he uses practical actions to demonstrate the superhero principle of “the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility”.

Everyone has dreams, but not everyone is willing to make them work. Musk worked hard, and accomplished a lot of things within one’s short life.

The most recent example of Musk proving all his skeptics wrong was the Tesla AI day on October 1.

Ever since Musk announced last year that Tesla was studying AI, the robot racetrack has become one of the hottest fields for A I.

Capitalists believe that the humanoid robot racetrack is like the “Wei oli” (Nio, Xiaopeng, ideal), a big windfall for the future.

Musk’s success cannot be replicated, but his vision, ambition, pattern, his creative thinking, his pioneering attitude and the spirit of continuous search may be enlightening to all kinds of societies and systems, and are worth learning for enterprises and individuals alike.

Musk may be crazy, but he was never stupid, and, in him, he had a childlike innocence.

In a society where credit cards have formed user consumption habits, personal credit has been tied to credit cards. Would you invest in online payment? Musk dares to.

The project was a great success, leading a whole generation and bringing him up to the ranks of billionaires. Would you dare to join the automobile sunset industry? Musk dares to.

When you have revolutionized the car market with technology and established new industry norms and development models, you have become the dominant player in the technology field and the upstart on the billionaire’s list. Would you wager on the ever-changing space industry? Musk dares to.

Investing into the space industry, where rocket launches are equal to burning money. Millions, tens of millions of dollars only for a pretty fireworks show, could you withstand the pressure and say with a smile: it was worth it, we have obtained the data? Musk dares to.

One risky success may be deemed a lucky reward by Fate; but if each courageous attempt ends up effective, drives and even changes the industry, we call this courage foresight.

China may not need Musk, but China needs Musk’s way of thinking.

China’s new four great inventions, “high-speed railway, code-scanning payment, bike-sharing and online shopping”, have brought an unprecedented life of convenience to her people, and have often attracted the envy of overseas neighbors.

We should also expect entrepreneurs and dreamers like Musk who, through exploring the pain points of existing technologies again and again, aim for breakthroughs using disruptive thinking. Combining complex physical concepts with business plans, he sets the benchmark for countless technology enterprises around the world at the top relying on technological breakthroughs.
