Why is Elon Musk the GOAT?
The GOAT (“Greatest of All Time”) terminology gets thrown around a lot nowadays. But one person, who definitely deserves the title is the Weed smoking, Doge HODLing, Rocket launching, father of X Æ A-12 — ELON MUSK.
Elon Musk is a very admirable and likeable figure; indeed, he has had a few shithousary moments like calling the COVID-19 lockdown a “fascist act” when there were 30k cases averaging daily but that’s a different discussion all together. Here are few reasons why I believe Elon is the GOAT:
Started from the bottom — Elon, unlike ‘other’ entrepreneurs did not receive a small loan of $1 Million from his father. *cough* Trump *cough*. In fact, he grew up in a poor and abusive household in South Africa. Who knew a dude living on a couch at his Silicon Valley office would become the single most detrimental figure of technology in the 21st century? His background continuous to inspire and motivate individuals from different walks of life.
Revolutionist — Elon has technologically revolutionized the world we live in with companies like
· SpaceX — A rocket manufacturer with a goal to reduce space transportation costs to enable the colonization of Mars.
· Tesla — Electric Car manufacturer using sustainable energy to power the vehicle.
· PayPal — Online transactions
As a Millennial or Gen Z, can you imagine not being able to possess the power of making online transactions? We might as well move back to the stone age.
“I don’t ever give up” — Elon Musk — Usually entrepreneurs at his level, retrench and liquidate from failed ventures. Oh no, but not Elon, SpaceX failed to breach the atmosphere of the earth three times before finally being successful. For context, the cost of building one Falcon 9 is $50 Million.
Doge Coin/Crypto support — For the second-richest person on the planet to support a meme coin on the crypto market is a BIG DEAL. In today’s day, not everyone is supportive of the crypto market. Elon’s involvement has made him promote the coin multiple times via Twitter and SNL. Personally, I would even say that the strength of the Doge community exists due to Elon’s support. Ain’t nobody got time to hodl if it weren’t for Elon.
What do you think? Is Elon Musk a super hero or villain?
