Anniversary | Elon Musk | A Man of Failures
Anniversary | Elon Musk | A Man of Failures
A MAN OF FAILURES ELON REEVE MUSK! What? Are you wondering? Happy birthday wishes from someone, who is as much diversified as your aspirations. I'm aware that it sounds like a self propaganda, but I can't resist in saying so. Some would recognise what I'm talking about, and some won't. The latter, do click the link of infographic [How Elon Musk Started] and understand why. Elon Musk was a South African born. He turns 51 today.
Only after a meticulous examination, do I choose a mentor. Be it film-making or space exploration, some of the traits that I look for in a mentor are being insanely ambitious, eccentric, and humane. Elon and I share the these traits I suppose. Even though, I'm not his real protege, I consider Elon Musk as a mentor, because his aspiration of getting into outer space and finding a habitable planet matches mine (Yes, it sounds like self propaganda, but I can't resist in saying so). He intends to nuke the red planet and make it suitable for living. He is indeed a maverick.
An avatar that is integral part of my virtual life is Neo. I believe that humans exist in the universe of matrix or simulated world. Ever since, I watched Matrix in 1999, the idea of artificial intelligence only reinforced further.
And, I'm not alone, even Elon Musk thinks alike.
No one is a saint. Most of you pretend to be one. People who make a real difference are eccentric and weird. Elon Musk is making such difference. Therefore, both his private and professional lives are unusual.
Elon Musk claims the imperative approach to reduce carbon emissions is to tax carbon producers with 'Carbon Tax'. I think it would motivate them to be vigilant.
Have you seen the film Transcendence? An ailing scientist uploads his brain into a computer, and makes it artificially intelligent. It is no more a science fiction, reportedly, maverick entrepreneur #ElonMusk is launching an initiative, capable of connecting human brains with computer. It is named #Neuralink.
Elon Musk never had a reasonably comfortable life. I'd attribute his accomplishments to that 'discomfort'.
On 2nd March 2019,Maverick entrepreneur Elon Musk's SpaceX's Crew Dragon marked the return of human spaceflight from American soil. A big moment. I BT being a spacefarer is not only happy about it but proud of the fact that an individual (Elon Musk) is being able to realize his aspiration of making humans an interplanetary species.
I have always believed that humans are an integral part of machine world or Matrix (Wachoski sisters' vision). Therefore, we have capacities to access and comprehend unlimited knowledge. But we don't know yet, how to unleash it. I have always admired Elon Musk as we share the visions, they are mutually exclusive, and both have sort of undergone similar challenging situations. Difference is he has made it, and I'm still attempting.
Never, think less of eccentric Elon Musk, whom I look up to. If you do, it only means that you are an ignorant. Downfall is inevitable. After all, Elon Musk is a disruptor.
This reason why I admire visionary entrepreneur, Elon Musk. His conviction is based on knowledge acquired through hardships. He never had a reasonably comfortable life as many so-called young entrepreneurs, who have inherited legacy businesses.
I'm seduced by #ElonMusk. Don't think otherwise, I'm captivated by his visions of traversing average human to super powered, through his concepts/companies of, 'The Boring', 'Hyperloop', 'Tesla' and 'SpaceX'. He talked of ways how his initiatives would transform our lives at TED in April of 2017.
Visionary Elon Musk's idea of connecting every part of planet Earth with broadband from orbit, sort of began yesterday with the launch of demo satellites named 'Tintin A' and 'Tintin B'. The global broadband connectivity is called '#Starlink'. He is hoping to put 4000 such satellites in 83 orbital planes by mid 2020 to ensure seamless broadband connectivity. Many congratulations Elon Musk and crew for successfully taking the first step.
Humans already are cyborgs, claims #ElonMusk. I concur. Because significant proportion of population is enslaved to artificial intelligence algorithms through their digital lives - social media accounts.
Maverick visionary #ElonMusk's '#TheBoring' company originally intended to speed transit vehicles through their tunnels, but now they have altered their plans to prioritize pedestrians who can't afford cars or prefer mass transit. However, the animation released by Elon Musk himself is ambitious. I see Elon as someone trying to disrupt not only space exploration, but the planet Earth itself.
29 June 2018:
Ever since I watched Wachowski sisters' 'Matrix', I started sharing the view that we exist in the simulation of a highly intelligent species. We don't actually exist. I'm not alone, Maverick #ElonMusk is also of the same view. This is one of the traits Elon Musk and I share. Yesterday, he celebrated his 48th birthday. Thus, the birthday cake carries the wish 'Enjoy year 48 in the simulation'.
The possible intend of building dominance in satellite telecommunications is to establish seamless contact with Mars, once humans colonize the red planet. Elon Musk is determined in accomplishing sending humans to mars in the next couple of years.
Maverick Elon Musk unveiled his company SpaceX's plans for making humans an interplanetary species, colonization of Mars and other planets of the Solar System by an aspirational timeline of 2022. Most importantly, travelling to any destination on Earth under less than 30 minutes at the International Astronomical Congress (IAC) today, 29th September, 2017.
The audacious spaceship is named 'BFR', which would be making the odyssey into the solar system and colonizing planets and moons. Within the Earth, it could travel at 27,000 miles per hour, technically making any destination under the reach of less than 30 minutes.

Humans get prepared for deep space travel! Pictured here is the main body tool of Maverick Elon Musk's #BFRspaceship, which is very likely to take us to interplanetary travel in the near future.

Indeed. Nikola Tesla's inventions were mostly forbidden as they were disruptive and would have augmented human lives. Society could not take his ideas as they were incomprehensible. I'm glad maverick entrepreneur Elon Musk has been giving the respect he deserves by using the inventor's name for his engineering company, Tesla. Even auteur filmmaker Christopher Nolan disseminated the contributions of Nikola Tesla, in his film 'The Prestige'.
Elon Musk's plans on colonization of Mars, thus making humans multi planetary species:
- $200,000 per ticket
- 1,000+ spaceships would depart every 26 months
- Spaceships would fit 100 people
- Musk says it would be "quite fun."
Fascinating! Isn't? It is no more science fiction but reality.
This how precisely, Elon Musk's SpaceX is going to mass transport humans to Mars.
Stage 1: Spaceship departs from earth.
Stage 2: Booster detaches and returns to earth (Optimum utilization of cost by reusing booster for subsequent launches)
Stage 3: Spaceship is refuelled in earth's orbit.
Stage 4: Spaceship leaves for Mars
Stage 5: Spaceships enters Mars. Humans colonise the red planet and evolution begins.
Stage 6: Spaceship is refuelled using the propellant produced on Mars.
Stage 7: Spaceship leaves for earth for subsequent launches, simultaneously thousands of spaceships are launched from earth to Mars.
I desire to be part of the odyssey.
Pictured here is the photo released by Elon Musk's SpaceX earlier today, of it's rocket Falcon9's first stage successful landing on the droneship, after deploying the satellite (SES-10) in geostationary orbit. Remember, this same rocket was used for sending caro supplies to International Space Station in April 2016. Furthermore, rockets were never reused. The strategic advantage of SpaceX's resuability rockets would enable low cost space travel, optimum utilization of resources, more importantly, accomplishing the human Mars exploration mission and Interstellar travel. Therefore, this event holds paramount importance in the history of human space exploration.

- I strongly feel fear.
- Beneficial creations are, making small effect for larger number of people.
- Sustainable Mars colony is possible in next 9 to 10 years.
- Democratization of Artificial Intelligence is vital for greater good of society.
- I spend 80% of time on engineering design. I'm not a businessman.

Humans will soon become redundant. Not only the mundane, unsafe, repetitive, but intellectual tasks carried out by humans will be replaced by artificially intelligent robots or cyborgs. I'm always grateful to maverick #ElonMusk as he named one of his disruptive companies after arguably the greatest scientist and visionary ever #NikolaTesla.
#BT invariably appreciates failures to successes. It takes an opportunity to be a successful but perseverance to be a failure. While Nikola Tesla disrupted the society through his innovations, he was not duly recognised as his ideas would fundamentally change every aspect of our lives for betterment, which meant loss of business for those already engaged in providing solutions. He was posthumously recognised.
"#TeslaBot", is the inception of a new age self-aware robot, which would take over humanity.
Human space exploration will no longer be limited to astronauts or cosmonauts but civlians*. Eccentric Elon Musk has invariably broken the fourth wall, wherever he ventured into. An all civilian spacecraft "Crew Dragon" will be lifted off by a reusable "Falcon 9" rocket into the Earth's orbit on 15th September 2021. The crew will be orbiting earth at the speed of 17,500 miles per hour or 8 kilometers per second and will see the sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes about 16 times a day. The farthest they will be above Earth is at an apogee of about 575 kilometers. The mission is named "Inspiration 4"
*Only the select few are categorized as civilians. Space companies don't make the criteria public for reasons only known to them.
The First Civilian Expedition To Space:
While I hate taking or posing for a so-called "Selfie" as it exhibits dubious features, not this one as it is no ordinary selfie, but a group of 4 civilians took it 575 kilometers above Planet Earth.

I would say Elon Musk is named person of the year 2021 because, he is not only endeavouring to make humans an interplanetary species, but ensuring the continued existence of humans as long as they can hold on to this one strange rock planet Earth, which incidentally hosts organic life.

While Forbes has assessed eccentric Elon Musk as the world's richest person of the year 2022, Musk denies reasoning that none of his wealth is used for personal consumption. Moreover, he doesn't even own a home yet, but an aircraft, otherwise he would spend time on travelling.

Telepathy is a reality now.
Imagine the future where not a medical, but a consumer device placed on your head perhaps like a headphone does the doing. Now, all you need to do is just think, the device (interface) on your head will interpret your thoughts and a computer connected to the device will translate your thoughts into actions.
A prerequisite for you to exist in the future is, imagination.
Welcome to Neuralink.
