BLOOMBERG RISK TAKERS - ELON MUSK PROFILED


-

This guy is the ultimate serial entrepreneur. One of my top 3 role models in business for sure.

When you listen to how he speaks about his companies, he never talks about making a fortune - but impacting millions of people and moving humanity to the next stage of its technological revolution.

As MJ Demarco says, if you want to make millions you have to impact millions.

Elon Musk.....a South African immigrant who came to the US via oddjobs in Canada.....finagled his way into getting dual degrees in engineering and BS economics from UPenn/Wharton......moves to Silicon Valley and lives in an apartment with no shower so he has to shower at the gym.......and then goes on to launch a bunch of companies that make him hundreds of millions before he was thirty.....then again before he was forty.

Roberty Downey Junior's profile/life as Tony Stark in the Iron Man movies is loosely based on Elon Musk's life.

Insane.

When I want to take a weekend off I ask myself if I've ever sent a private spacecraft to the international space station.....or changed the face of international ecommerce and epayments.....and then I get back to work.

I really dislike this guy. I think he's a sociopathic creep.

But damn, gotta respect the hustle.

Let's use this thread as a place to post videos of inspirational men in history.


Doesn't have to just be money. It can be sports, military, diplomacy, anything.

Regardless of how ardently you support or are indifferent to the cause of the manosphere, you are undoubtedly a man who wants to improve himself. This is why many of us came here.

I think the best way to become a better man is to stand on the shoulders of giants and see what the greats did that I am currently not doing in my life.

Anyway that is what I propose for this thread. I hope these videos help someone do something great.

Word. I really dislike his whole push to MAKE FACEBOOK YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I think the fatal flaw to facebook is Zuckerberg - he's just too much of a nerd to understand social intelligence. A lot of facebook features just creep users out, and they always pop up unexpectedly.

Right. Google was sort of having this issue. Their motto is "Dont be evil" and I think that, for the most part, they actually try to live and work by this.

Apple has always seemed a bit evil but they make incredible products.

Facebook, in my opinion, is like a giant government spy engine. Facebook has screwed a lot of people over in terms of their careers, social lives, and legal disputes. It's irrevocably changed our social lives for the worse, IMO.

It's too bad that it's legitimately such a good engine for businesses to use.

I heard on the radio a month ago that a genetic indicator of risk taking is the length of your ring finger compared to your index finger. A majority of women have longer index fingers. A majority of men have longer ring fingers. The longer your ring finger is in proportion is an indicator of greater testosterone, and risk taking.

The difference between Apple and Facebook was Jobs. Both Jobs and Zuckerberg are supremely narcissistic. Jobs wanted to make Apple the only personal electronics brand in your life, however expensive and often impractical it might be. Zuckerberg obviously wants to make facebook the central core of your social life - I think he has a crypto-fantasy where one day the only evidence of our existence will be what we have uploaded onto facebook. Jobs was an alpha male who, for all his control freak tendencies and ego, understood people. He knew how to appeal to people's sense of self - to make them believe that the apple product they were buying was a signifier of their own good taste, creativity, self-expression, and self-actualization. Zuckerberg doesn't know how to do this. Rather than subtly persuading users to believe that they are using facebook's features out of their own free will, he knocks users on their heads. He forces us to share. He tells us we enjoy not having any privacy, or having no notice when old "deleted" information pops up.
