The big question is....whose going to play Elon Musk in the true-to-life film version, about the slow downfall of the man who wanted to be king of everything, but ended up a nothing as part of a musical duo with Kanye West, with a Reno casino resort residency.
His pipedream rocket company just succeeded at launching and landing the most impressive vehicle ever built by man. You could watch high-def live footage as the thing re-entered at the atmosphere at 20,000mph thanks to the space internet system that is rapidly becoming the best in the world. And in two days he's getting a $56 billion pay day granted to him by Tesla shareholders. It's a little early for schadenfreude.
When would you say the downfall started? Do you think the recent achievements of the companies he's involved with are repeated luck? Would you say that all successful individuals were always successful or had pleasant personalities?
I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Musk, but it's always interesting to see how his accomplishments are diminished. The attitudes towards Musk are remarkably similar to how others perceive Steve Jobs.
I never thought about it before, but you're right. He's got such an odd presence and unidentifiable accent(to me) in most of his roles, I think he'd be about the best we could ask for.
