Introduction A.Electric jets and cars, trains that travel through a vacuum, a solar city. Things that sound like they are out of a sci-fi movie one man is trying to make possible. That man is Elon Musk. B.Growing up in South Africa, he then attended an American college. He is an inventor and an innovator. His projects most notably include Pay Pal, Tesla and Hyperloop. C.Let’s take a deeper look into what made him became the innovator he is today and the awesome things he has already created.

Another aspect that caught my attention was the simply idea that could change the direction of a country.

I hope I have answered the question “What was his personal life like?” good in here and would like to summarize by saying that he was able to overcome all odds to become a famous inventor that even had a movie made by him. I would also like to say that He made many, many products that we still use all from simple plants like peanuts in summary to the answer of the question “What did he actually do?”. He also had many hobbies that ended up in helping many people (“What did he like to do when he wasn’t working?”). I have found that this man that I knew nothing about before the report is one of the few real life people I know of that overcame so many things in his life that almost no one even knows

...on. He established numerous schools all over America to ensure that children were properly educated on technological advancements and were able to learn by doing hands on activities. He wanted kids to be able to learn by trial-and-error just as he did, teaching them to never give up no matter how many tries it takes. These schools would allow children to use imagination and creativity which America needed more of.
Nikola Tesla is a man that many individuals associate with brilliance. Moreover, Tesla is a name that ignites impulses within an individual’s brain which illuminate, via bio-circuitry, the thought association of Tesla and brilliance, similar to the force we term as electricity. Brilliance however, shouldn’t be the only descriptive word to come to mind when thinking of one of the greatest engineers and inventors to live. Innovation and determination should be undoubtedly included in the list of descriptive words of Mr. Nikola Tesla. For without the innovative mind of Tesla, midcentury inventions as well as current technological advances would be nonexistent, or worse, credited to Thomas Edison.
Tesla Motors Case Study Tesla Motors is a company that produces and sells automobiles. Tesla is not an old automobile company. Tesla specializes in all electric cars that run 100 percent on battery and focuses on the future. Tesla is looking into the future and realizes that fossil fuels will eventually run out. Tesla is moving toward a zero-emission future for the better.

Environmental concerns have been raised from time to time because of the dependency on the gasoline-fueled engine as the chief auto powertrain technology. This has resulted in exposing many automobile users to unpredictable prices of fuel. These issues were, however, the reason for the inception of Tesla Motors so as to bring into existence another set of automotive which serves the similar purpose; but uses another form of energy that being electricity to drive them instead of the disadvantageous gasoline-powered engine. This invention was influenced by a number of factors in terms of their planning and performance (Hunger, 2010).
He was also an avid reader, so it makes sense that he is in the career field that he is in. He mostly lived with his father after his parents divorced so he was probably inspired from his father to become an engineer himself, as well as an inventor and entrepreneur. He was also bullied throughout his life which caused him to go to mainly private schools. His almost introverted personality is something that could have made him want to create things. His love for reading and keeping to himself allowed him research and think about what innovative technologies he could create. “When he was 17, in 1989, he moved to Canada to attend Queen’s University and to avoid mandatory service in the South African military, but he left Queen’s University to study business and physics at University of Pennsylvania. He graduated with an undergraduate degree in economics” (Elon Musk
...on’s inventions. He brought light into the world and showed people that even hard things could be done if you have a lot of patience. Thomas Edison proved that you don’t have to be smart to be able to achieve a lot. He didn’t learn that much in school, but he became a very famous and wealthy inventor. “By the time of his death in 1931, Edison had received 1,093 U.S. patents, a total still untouched by any other inventor. Even more important, he created a model for modern industrial research.” (Thomas Alva Edison Biography, p.4, par.6)
