Renowned for his multiple positions in cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence and the conquest of space, Elon Musk was voted Person of the Year by Time magazine. While he fascinates many people, Elon Musk enjoys significant media coverage, which makes him an important figure in the entrepreneurial community, much like Steve Jobs before him.
According to the head of Time magazine, Edward Felsenthal, “Few people have as much influence as Mr. Musk on life on Earth and potentially also on life outside Earth.” Furthermore, Elon Musk is today the richest man in the world with $306.4 billion in personal fortune thanks to the huge sales of electric cars by Tesla.
Thanks to SpaceX, the businessman can look forward to a bright future where he will be the standard bearer of American space exploration. He recently signed an exclusive contract with NASA to build a moon landing module for an orbital mission without astronauts on board. Regarding the future of SpaceX, Elon Musk told Time that the aim of the company was “to allow life to develop on several planets and to make humanity a space civilization.” “The next big goal is to build a self-sustaining city on Mars and bring in animals and creatures from Earth. A bit like a Noah’s ark from the future.”
Regarding Tesla, it intends to shift the construction of its vehicles towards the use of much more sustainable technologies over time. At any rate, Elon Musk still has plenty of upcoming plans to continue his rivalry against Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.
