- Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Ashlee Vance
I was surprised that about all the things Elon Musk has accomplished. I never knew Spacex was founded by him. I admire him how he was able to come from a broken family and become such a powerful entrepauer. I find it amazing how he never took no for a answer. He accomplishes ideas that people never think are possible. Such as with his electronic cars and Spacex program. What I least admire about him is how he doesn't make his companies profitable. They all spend a lot of money accomplishing amazing achievements. However they never make good returns. Elon experienced both adversity and failure, he never let that stoped him though and kept chasing his goals. I noticed that Elon exhibited competencies like determined, motivation, and innovation. He never saw that anything was impossible. He always saw there was a way some how to do whatever he was chasing. He accomplished most of the goals he set his mind too. I was confused how he was able to keep putting money into both these companies when they didn't make much return. I would have thought he would give up. I was confused also if he was setting these companies up to make profits for him or for him just to invite new things. If I could ask him two questions, I would ask how he was able to dream so big? If you could do it over again what would you change? I think his opinion of hard work was just to never quit pursuing your dreams. Even when they seem to not be able to happen keep chasing them and they will.
