The richest man in the world – ELON MUSK
With an estimated net worth of $ 219 billion as of June 2022, Musk is the wealthiest person in the world.
An innovative CEO:
PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company.
As co-founder and CEO of Tesla, Elon oversees all product design, engineering, and global manufacture of the company's electric automobiles, battery products, and solar energy products.
Elon oversees the development of rockets and spacecraft for missions to Earth orbit and, eventually, other planets as SpaceX's lead designer.
Elon is also the CEO of Neuralink, which is developing ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect the human brain to computers.
He also founded The Boring Company, which combines fast and affordable tunneling technology with an all-electric public transport system to ease soul-breaking urban congestion and enable fast, long-distance travel.
Bizarre and Controversial:
While he is indeed and influential and groundbreaking innovator , he is also not very “liked”.
"Troll," "edge lord," and "prankster" are all words that have been cast on musk in recent years due to his big interest in memes, posting his feces on Twitter and smoking marijuana on podcasts!
His tweets have become so bizarre that Tesla basically told him to ‘shut up’ due to how much he was costing them money in lawsuits.
Musk justified himself on SNL saying : “Look I know I sometimes say or post strange things but that’s just how my brain works. To anyone I’ve offended, I just want to say ‘I reinvented electric cars and I’m sending people to Mars in a rocket ship, did you also think I was going to be a chill, normal dude?
’”
Don’t even get us started on his baby names ! Musk and his indie-pop star partner Grimes named their baby X Æ A-12 Musk, and their second child Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.
Elon also called the Covid-19 pandemic “dumb” – YES, REALLY!
Conclusion:
Apart from being the most innovative and wealthiest man on earth, he is also the strangest and most controversial!
