![]() Bild: ProSieben Im Garten der Simpsons landet eine Rakete. Ihr entsteigt der geniale Erfinder und Unternehmer Elon Musk. Er ist verzweifelt auf der Suche nach neuen Ideen – und findet in Homer mit all seinen irren Einfällen den perfekten Quell der Inspiration, dem er nun auf Schritt und Tritt folgt. Im Atomkraftwerk überzeugt der berühmte Visionär Mr. Burns von einem neuen Energiekonzept. Das ist zwar extrem umweltfreundlich, treibt aber das Kraftwerk leider im Höllentempo Richtung Ruin (Text: ProSieben). Abonniere die neuste Musik. ARTIKEL HINZUGEFÜGT 0. WARENKORB VOLL.

Elon Musk, for those unfamiliar, is the world’s raddest man. I’ll use this post to explore how he became a self-made billionaire and the real-life inspiration for Iron Man’s Tony Stark, but for the moment, I’ll let Richard Branson explain things briefly: Whatever skeptics have said can’t be done, Elon has gone out and made real. Remember in the 1990s, when we would call strangers and give them our credit-card numbers? Elon dreamed up a little thing called PayPal. His Tesla Motors and SolarCity companies are making a clean, renewable-energy future a realityhis SpaceX [is] reopening space for explorationit’s a paradox that Elon is working to improve our planet at the same time he’s building spacecraft to help us leave it. So no, that was not a phone call I had been expecting. A few days later, I found myself in pajama pants, pacing frantically around my apartment, on the phone with Elon Musk. We had a discussion about Tesla, SpaceX, the automotive and aerospace and solar power industries, and he told me what he thought confused people about each of these things. He suggested that if these were topics I’d be interested in writing about, and it might be helpful, I could come out to California and sit down with him in person for a longer discussion. For me, this project was one of the biggest no-brainers in history. Not just because Elon Musk is Elon Musk, but because here are two separate items that have been sitting for a while in my “Future Post Topics” document, verbatim: – “electric vs hybrid vs gas cars, deal with tesla, sustainable energy” – “spacex, musk, mars?? How learn to do rockets??” I already wanted to write about these topics, for the same reason I Artificial Intelligence—I knew they would be hugely important in the future but that I also didn’t understand them well enough. And Musk is leading a revolution in both of these worlds. It would be like if you had plans to write about the process of throwing lightning bolts and then one day out of the blue Zeus called and asked if you wanted to question him about a lot of stuff. So it was on. The plan was that I’d come out to California, see the Tesla and SpaceX factories, meet with some of the engineers at each company, and have an extended sit down with Musk. The first order of business was to have a full panic. I needed to not sit down with these people—these world-class engineers and rocket scientists—and know almost nothing about anything. I had a lot of quick learning to do.
