Our inspirations are what drive us forward. They encourage us to make certain decisions, to pick certain paths. Inspirations can come in a vast array of forms, but one of the most common is people. This is a collection of people who inspire us here at the Indiependent.
James Dudley: Elon Musk
“My motivation for all my companies has been to be involved in something that I thought would have a significant impact on the world.” – Elon Musk
I’ve always been absolutely enthralled by technology that changes the way humans live in the world. It’s little surprise then that my entry for this feature is none other than tech-magnate and societal pioneer Elon Musk. Musk is changing the way that humans interact with the world around them through 3 distinctive different industries; the automotive industry (Tesla), the aerospace industry (Space-X), and the renewable energy industry (Solar City).
Never in history has one man been responsible for improving human life and knowledge so much — in such a short period of time — as Elon. This is a man who co-founded PayPal shortly after leaving college, a man who survived cerebral malaria, and a man who has pledged his vast fortune to charity. A man who knows no boundaries; a risk taker, an earth-saver. Inspiring? I think so.
