Elon Musk is the Next Steve Jobs

If you don’t know who Elon Musk is, you will. Not because I’m going to tell you right now, but because he will become the next greatest mind the world is swept by. DISCLAIMER: Elon Musk is one of my favorite entrepreneurs of all time.

Elon Musk has done a lot of things, started PayPal, started SpaceX, started Tesla Motors, and a few other not so well known companies. The thing that amazes me about Elon is not that he has started a half a dozen companies, but because he strives to tackle huge issues. 

There are a lot of great entrepreneurs in the world, in all different industries, but you can’t say that many are addressing huge issues that impact all humans on the planet. Elon has a very brilliant mind and I think his legacy will be bigger than Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs changed technology as we knew it, and Elon Musk is changing the automotive industry as we know it. There are many companies coming out with electric cars, but Elon approaches the technology with a design mindset. After all isn’t design what set Apple apart from every other hardware company?

Tesla makes the best electric cars from a design and technology aspect. SpaceX is striving to conquer space travel unlike ever before. And PayPal literally created a banking system for the internet.

Forgetting about Tesla for a minute and everything else he has done, Elon has bigger visions. He wants to create a more eco friendly aircraft, that takes off and lands vertically. More than a technology visionary, I would say he is a visionary for the future of all man kind. I guess the title of this post may be inaccurate, Elon Musk won’t be the next Steve Jobs, he is going to be the first Elon Musk.

I think everyone should take a few minutes to view the video clip below.
