I really respect and look up to people who take bold actions to make bold changes in human society. Elon Musk is definitely one of these people up there with the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Sergey Brin etc.

Is a nice infographic that shows Elon musk's journey from beginning to today. I have to agree that looking at his history, the person that I can compare him to the most is the fictional character Tony Stark.
Ha, that's a great infograph. Very detailed. Did you read Ashlee Vance's biography of Musk? That one gave a very interesting perspective of the psyche of the man.
I haven't but I will definitely check it out, thanks for the tip!
