1. What surprised me the most about Elon Musk is his intellectual capacity, and how he is so driven to acquire new and useful knowledge. What I admire about Elon Musk is that he decided to create a solution to help humanity, not just to make him rich. I think this shows a certain amount of humbleness that is not portrayed by the media. There was not much I did not admire about Elon Musk, his personality was a little brash, but nothing out of the ordinary for a successful person. I think Elon Musk encountered adversity early on, with his struggle to make meaningful relationships. I think that being bullied, and almost forgotten by his parents, made him more driven to become his own man.
2. I think the most prevalent competency was intelligence. Elon Musk seemed very intelligent, and very knowledgeable on the ventures he was trying to start. Also quite driven from an early age. He was bullied as a kid, but kept doing the things he found to be fun, not just complying with those around him.
3. I would say one part of the reading that I found confusing was his obsession with being liked. For me, it is quite hard to see why someone who has accomplished so much is so obsessed with being liked by people around him. I think the example of how he met and started dating his ex-wife is a clear depiction of that
4. My two questions to Elon Musk would be:
- Do you actually think you can save humanity?
- Do you think if you grew up in a different family environment you would be as successful?
I chose these to questions because they inquire on two different aspects of Elon Muck. One being about his goals, and one being about him personally.
5. I think it is quite evident that Elon Musk believes in hard work, but I think he strives to make sure is hard work is useful to others. I think I share the same opinion, but do not necessarily need my hard work to be seen by others to be successful.
