When then Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney dissed Tesla (and therefore Musk) as a “loser”, I thought he was speaking volumes about himself. In a world filled with over-paid corporate executives who take obscene riches while inventing nothing and managing companies into the ground, Musk is the rare breed of hardworking visionary, who could have retired as a multimillionaire in his 30’s but instead chose to put all of his personal net worth on the line more than once in order to develop new technologies and companies that are helping to solve some of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. Would that the world had a whole lot more “losers” like Musk.
