Just an observation. I think Elon is one man who is not motivated and driven by money.
One who's driven to make money for the sake of having money often ends up not being happy and often self destruct, because there's always more money to make.
And then there are those are driven to achieve a goal, other than money or possession. There aren't many such people around and it's especially refreshing to see someone who not only has such dreams (other than making money) but is achieving them.
- baq 12y agohe's very open about his motivations: he wants to put people on Mars, himself included. he obviously needs truckloads of money to do that so he's involved in things that make money. now that spacex can more or less pay for itself he's in a great position to proceed with his goal.
- tjmc 12y agoThere's plenty of people around who aren't motivated by money and most of them have not much of it! The rare thing about Musk is he's someone who made his fortune (from PayPal) and then went on to pursue some really transformative goals. Bill Gates is probably another.
