The Genius Behind Elon Musk

When Elon Musk created Space-X, he had only had a bachelor’s degree in physics and economics at the time, and although those are in and of them- selves an impressive record to behold, it is still a long way from calling yourself an expert in rocket science. But despite the lack of experience and knowledge on the subject matter, Elon Musk was still able to find success. This is because of several of things things: he had an immense passion for science, he knows how to find the right group of people, he is patient and persistent, and he has excellent marketing skills. Through out the life time of Space-X, the company overcame 5 unsuccessful launches into space. These failures were incredibly expensive and time consuming, but due to Elon Musk, and Space-X’s resiliency they were still able to become a successful business. One of my favorite quotes of Elon Musk, and in my opinion, is the epitome of what it takes to become successful is “when something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor” — Elon Musk.
