Undoubtedly, Elon Musk is the creator of the future for humanity
The third success will not be as impressive as the first. But that is the beginning of a new standard, a new era of aerospace industry.
On May 28, SpaceX's Falcon boosters successfully landed on the surface for the third time. If one had successfully landed on the ground before, this was SpaceX's fourth success, the first company founded and led by Elon Musk after earning hundreds of millions of dollars from the PayPal resale deal.
The third successful landing on the sea surface is not as impressive as the first success in April. But this is still a really important milestone: starting from here, surely people will land more rockets to the sea surface. Gradually, the number of recoverable boosters will surely be more than the number of failures.
Elon Musk.
But every success must be paid at a very high price. Elon Musk and SpaceX planned to recall sea-boosters as early as January 2015 - it took more than 1 year, 3 months and 3 Falcon 9 boosters, the plan was the first to succeed. During that time, rival Blue Origin (owned by Amazon billionaire, Jeff Bezos) also successfully recovered ground-based boosters and Falcon 9 also had an accident when the SpaceX CRS-7 flight exploded 139. seconds after takeoff. You can imagine the pressure on how big Elon Musk is, especially when he has two big projects to complete with Tesla: Model X and Model 3 .
Yet Musk was still the one who smiled. He has set a new standard for aerospace industry. From now on, humankind can expect the cost of space exploration to be significantly reduced.
Talk about Tesla and electric car again. Not for no reason that in the last 3 years, including major technology exhibitions like CES and the world's leading car fairs like NAAS, automakers have almost always launched one or several electric cars. . If traditional automakers appear on the newspaper, the news is almost always about gas fraud, recalling or launching electric motor vehicles.
The big work belongs to Tesla. For years, destitute projects like GM's Skateboard or Toyota's Prius can't help environmentally friendly cars stop diving in consumer indifference. Starting from Model S, the idea of electric cars became really feasible. Elon Musk has turned electric cars from a product that is usually only consumers interested in the newspaper to become a business with sales of up to 50,000 units per year.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe enjoyed Elon Musk with a trip on Model S.
With Model 3, electric cars become a market with sales of hundreds of thousands of units. No one knows if Tesla can overcome the supply chain's hardships, but regardless of whether Tesla lives or dies, the car world has determined its next direction. We need electric cars.
Elon Musk's contribution to the environment does not stop at cars. Along with the Model X and Model 3, Tesla is also working on home- based solar storage batteries that are "terrific" and affordable. The completed "Super Factory" Gigafactory will provide all Tesla models with batteries and Powerwall and Powerpack backup batteries, while lowering costs by 30% compared to the current.
In addition to Tesla, the billionaire PayPal and his cousins founded SolarCity , a company that designs, installs and leases solar power systems. Only after 7 years of establishment, SolarCity has reached the 2nd position in the US in terms of number of installations. In 2011, SolarCity earned a $ 280 million investment from Google. This is Google's largest investment in the clean energy sector and also America's largest private investment in this essential area.
In 2016, mentioning clean energy refers to Elon Musk.
Musk met Indian Prime Minister Modi to discuss electric cars and solar cell storage technology.
SpaceX and Tesla are the two most mentioned names when people describe the greatness of "Real Iron Man". But his successes expanded both in the past and in the future. Most of the funds Elon Musk has come from PayPal , the world's No. 1 online money transfer / payment service. In fact, PayPal was originally a by-product of a security company called Confinity before merging with X.com, Elon Musk's online banking service company. To develop PayPal as it is today, Musk bravely gave up his own business and also fought hard to protect the future of online money transfer.
Musk's vision was later proved correct: in developed countries, where users understand potential threats to technology, PayPal is the perfect solution to help users avoid exposure. Credit card information to too many sales pages. By 2014, mobile payment services boomed with the same philosophy: instead of providing card information directly to sellers, users only need to provide a kind of intermediate information (Apple ID). for authentication and payment. Elon Musk had that vision since 2001.
In the future, Elon Musk still has two new projects: Hyperloop and OpenAI . Hyperloop is a project that allows people to increase the speed of moving the ground up to 1,200km / h, which is twice as fast as the aircraft. Not only useful on the ground, Hyperloop also promises to be a solution to move on . Mars due to the air density at Red Planet is only 1% on Earth. OpenAI also focuses on solving a problem of the future, a problem that will surely open up many opportunities and survival challenges: artificial intelligence . Elon Musk's OpenAI project aims to coordinate the development of AI in a fully open way to help people understand AI and to help AI really benefit people.

Since Steve Jobs died in 2011, people have always wondered who is his true missionary. Who creates revolutionary products will dramatically change people's lives. In today's technology world, no one deserves that title more than Elon Musk . The billionaire PayPal has been leading not only 1 but 4, 5 companies that are willing to change our lives in more extensive ways than the iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad.
