Why did I only hear of him yesterday? He is freakin amazing. His projects (Telsa, SpaceX, SolarCity, Hyperloop) are an engineer's dream come true.
Interesting tidbits from the article:
- He's the inspiration for Tony Stark.
- His inspiration comes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "It taught me that the tough thing is figuring out what questions to ask, but that once you do that, the rest is really easy". Honestly I think he's cool just based on this.
- Degrees in econ and physics. Now wishing I had done this xD (nah happy with civ, all 33hrs of it next semester :'D)
- While at school, he financed his tuition by throwing parties (David get on this).
- Hired Apple's retail strategist to oversee Tesla's retail stores, now I have to visit the one in Yorkdale.
- He's friends with Olivia Wilde!
- For SpaceX, the engines are called Merlin and capsules dragon.
