The industry's most high-profile tech mogul lately is probably Elon Musk.
An American general, at a seminar, did not shy away from asking how to defeat China.
Musk answered the question. He believes that it is already the era of artificial intelligence, although the United States is still in a leading position in the field of innovation, but other countries continue to develop science and technology, if the United States does not do a good job of innovation, it may be surpassed at any time.
As an entrepreneur, Musk is recognized by many people as he is indeed using technology to change people's lives.
Late last year, he was named Person of the Year by Time magazine.
According to Forbes' latest list of the 2022 global billionaires, Musk has once again become the world's richest man with a net worth of $219 billion, and it is far behind, which is a ride.
Tesla, which he founded, also had a market capitalization of more than $1 trillion in April, becoming the company that rose in market capitalization second only to Facebook.
Everyone's adjectives for him are "the most terrible madman on the planet", "Silicon Valley madman", "technology madman".
His "madness" stems from his foresight; what the current Internet giants study is what he plays the rest. He is also the officially recognized archetype of Iron Man.
It is worthy of the live-action version of "Iron Man", and this speed of ascension is also very similar to that of a rocket.
Today, let's talk about him.
01
Musk is an unusually sensitive person to trends, stepping on the forefront of the times at every step.
At the age of 10, Musk began to teach himself programming, and at the age of 12, he sold a game he wrote.
In 1995, just after the rise of the Internet, Musk dropped out of Stanford and started Zip2. Climb aboard Zip to find the nearest restaurant and see customer reviews.
It took 10 years for this advanced model to be replicated in China and became a "dianping".
In 1998, Musk set his sights on Internet trading and founded PayPal. The transaction money between the buyer and the seller is temporarily stored on the third-party payment platform, and the money is called to the seller after the receipt is confirmed.
Sound familiar? Yes, 5 years later, Alipay, which imitates PayPal, was born.
These two choices have made him rich. But it was Space X that made him a god.
Not only did he become the first person in the world to launch a private rocket, but he also reduced the cost of rocket chips by 5384 times!
The chipset cost about 140 million yuan for the United States to launch a rocket, while the chipset of Musk's Space X rocket only used 26,000 yuan!
Why is it so cheap?
It turned out that programming had helped him a lot.
Musk abandoned the complex programming language that NASA specially designed for rockets, and directly used C++ and Python to write the main chip program of the rocket.
"You can write it with an ordinary computer!" "I'm in the same programming language as rocket launcher!"
The outside world has been amazed, and the entire technology circle has boiled over.
People have never thought that Haohang Starry Sky is no longer so far away, and it can also be reached with the most "grounded" code around it.
After watching Musk's growth path, you will find that he is very good at using the power of technology.
Perhaps because of his programming background, he can always use the rationality of an engineer to keenly judge every investment opportunity, and then use technology to realize the blueprint little by little, and finally harvest and earn money.
Techno otaku also has a day of changing the world. That's the beauty of Musk.

When Musk was asked why he dropped out of Stanford, he once said:
"I couldn't stand the internet age and stayed out of it."
Yes, the world is developing rapidly, and the Internet and big data are impacting everything.
Just like the "BBA" (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi) has always been the three major luxury cars in the hearts of the Chinese people. But Tesla, created by Musk, directly ended the century-old car brand led by the BBA. Now the combined market capitalization of the three BBA car companies is less than one-third of Tesla's.
There is no eternal sunrise industry in this era; there is no job that can be done stably for a lifetime. The iron rice bowl that is scrambled for by the head may be smashed at any time.
Isn't there a way to break the game?
Yes, that's the Python Musk uses to program.
On the one hand, Python is deeply bound to artificial intelligence and big data, whether in the workplace or investment and financial management, there are many places that need to be used for data analysis processing and data crawling, and the few tools that are easy to use are python.
The Python language, on the other hand, is scientifically rigorous and capable of training people's thinking, respecting facts and logic. Moreover, the future society must be open and shared, and can bring together the wisdom of the whole world, and Python is the same, it can adjust the library of third parties, can gather everyone's wisdom.
Crucially, Python has already infiltrated every aspect of our lives. Moreover, there are big guys leading the way in front, and the best strategy for ordinary people is to follow in the footsteps of big guys.
If you also want to enhance your competitiveness and share the dividends of the times, the advice to everyone is to add less classes, free up time, and learn Python.

Of course, many people are still confused: "I am not a programmer, why should I learn Python?" ”
You must know that the next 10 years are the era of big data. Python is also deeply bound to artificial intelligence and big data.
In the workplace, there are many jobs that require data collection, data cleaning, and data analysis. Writing a program that automates all of this and results that are a hundred times more accurate than the human brain. Therefore, programming will definitely become a cross-industry imperative.
And there are many tedious and repetitive steps in the work, and procedures can be used instead of manual. These can be solved very well with Python.

Enter a short code in Python
Hundreds of tables can be processed automatically, and numbers can be fetched across tables
Programmers need to learn to program, which is the biggest misconception about programming. Just like we don't learn computers to become typists; we don't learn English to do translation. Instead, use them as tools.
Python is powerful in:
● Batch process hundreds of Excel, Word, PDF files, work efficiency tenfold
● Generate visual charts, and display work results more professionally
● Web crawler, one-click crawling of the desired information on the Internet
● Conduct data analysis, solve business problems, and report more rationally
● Carry out various "black technology" operations such as grabbing tickets, train tickets, coupons, etc.
In 2020, programming has become the "golden rice bowl" that breaks the class. Musk sent a job posting for Tesla on Twitter: "Join the Tesla artificial intelligence team, you definitely don't need a doctorate, I don't care if you graduate from high school, but programming must be excellent!" ”
In the domestic talent market, people who can program in Python can also earn higher salaries:
Previously, the People's Daily also published an article praising Peking University security guard Jiao Sen for teaching himself Python programming.
One more important point. Python language is more straightforward, logic is close to natural language, the code is not complicated, generally have a junior high school English foundation can be understood.
Therefore, Python eliminates the fear of ordinary people about the behavior of "programming", which can be learned from elementary school students to grandmothers. Instead of being dissuaded by the complex syntax that fills the screen at the beginning. Many people think of learning it as "playing".

Using Python to improve efficiency has become a workplace trend.
@Shanghai-Finance-Wei Zhong
"In the past, if you wanted to get bond loan stock data, you could only query on a daily basis and repeatedly open the web page hundreds of times. Now use Python crawlers to climb in ten minutes. “
@Shenzhen-Foreign Trade-Coco
"One minute to get the information of the industry's competitors, the type, price, sales, customer feedback are all there, to help me output data analysis solutions, to develop an operational strategy that makes the boss shine."
@Beijing-New Media Operation-Siqi
"I often use Python to collect millions of explosive articles in batches, look at the hottest long-tail keywords, explore user concerns, targeted topic selection and writing, 10W+ has produced several articles"
