Audacity of Elon Musk

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

– Maya Angelou

There is an overused term called – “Change the world for better”. Everyone uses it, but to see it in action is very rare.

But you see Elon Musk and you see a guy who is actually trying to change the world, for the better. Here is a small list-

  1. Tesla Cars- Reduce the dependence on hydrocarbons. Reduce pollution. And for the business guys out there, doing it while keeping business fundamentals in place. Profitable to both humanity and investors.
  2. Solar City- Solar panels. Use solar power for electricity. Great for environment.
  3. SpaceX- Ambitious goal of space travel, and making other planets in the solar system worthy of living.

But why am I writing this blog post is not because of any of these. It is because of Tesla Powerwall, which I think would really CHANGE the world. Imagine if you could use electricity in the remotest place in the world?

I belong to a village in Uttar Pradesh. Very erratic electric power supply through a grid. Tesla Powerwall can actually make that home in my village to be very habitable. Insanely great.

I would highly recommend that you watch this video, I have never seen more powerful video ever.

    This message by Musk gives hope to the world and in a way, encourages the dreamers and misfits, so to speak, to go on and keep at their endeavours. I liked the way you titled this post. Cheers!

    I think he is pretty much genius who is showing the way forward. Apparently he used to read a lot of superhero comics as a child, and has really become one of the superhero characters in real life 🙂

    Elon Musks thoughts are simply out of (or ahead of) the world.

    Yes. And with programs like SpaceX and the dream to reach Mars. It is out of the world literally too in some cases 🙂
