A
Everybody can name Bill Gates, Steve Jobs
or Mark Zuckerberg as the most successful
entrepreneurs of the 21 century. They have
st
contributed to the technological developments lately.
There is one more name that is so important but
not as famous as others. Can you imagine who
this person is? He is Elon Musk, one of the most
innovative entrepreneurs of our time. Like other
entrepreneurs, he always works hard and follows his
extraordinary dreams to be successful.

other companies to hire him. As he believes that future jobs will be based on Internet, sustainable energy
and space colonisation, he starts with his frst online companies. He makes his fortune with these two
companies and continues to make technological innovations. He thinks that in order to fght against global
warming, we should use clean energy sources. With his motor company, he focuses on sustainable
energy and electric cars. Maybe his frst attempt to send a rocket to the space is a failure, but he never
gives up and succeeds after trying four times.
