Musk said: Since he was a child, he has always thought of himself as an engineer, interested in things that change the world, affect the future and new technologies. He must set up a company so that humans can colonize Mars and save Earth.
His sister said: "My brother is like traveling to the future and coming back to tell us everything."
Musk currently has 9 companies, each of which can rewrite human processes.
OpenAI Artificial Intelligence Company
Its mission is to advance the development of digital intelligence without being limited by financial rewards for the benefit of people across the planet.
Boring Company Intercity high-speed subway company
Ground traffic congestion can be solved.
Hyperloop Hyperloop
Low vacuum + magnetic levitation, faster than an airplane. It has the characteristics of ultra-high speed, high safety, low energy consumption, low noise and low pollution. Because of its capsule-shaped appearance, it is called capsule high-speed rail, also known as flying railway. Simply put, it's building a hyperloop that runs in a vacuum tube.
Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface Inc
The goal is to create the simplest surgery, which is actually to use robots to perform surgery, with very high precision, which humans cannot do. It's like using a microscope to expand vision, killing out the intermediary between the brain and the machine—the person himself.
There are two parts of the brain-computer interface, the brain and the machine, implant information into your brain, put a CPU in the brain, the incision is very small, no skin grafting, the chip is below 8 mm, and even stitches are not used.
The chip is wireless, you don't have to go to the hospital or anywhere to use this interface, there will be no USB port on the head, and you don't need others to help you, you only need to use a battery-powered computer behind your ear to connect to your own smartphone, so that you and the phone are integrated, you deal with it yourself.
At present, brain-computer interfaces have been successfully experimented with in a monkey.
Solarcity Photovoltaic Power Company
By leasing the rooftop photovoltaic power generation system to the user, collecting rent, or signing a power sales agreement with the user to collect electricity fees (PPA model), in this mode, the unit electricity fee paid by the user is less than 15% of the average cost of purchasing electricity from the grid (tax incentives), photovoltaic power generation has a price advantage in competition with traditional energy.
The most important thing is that going to Mars can solve the problem of energy, and Suncity can solve the problem of Mars energy as a technical reserve.
SpaceX Space Exploration
Musk had an idea to send the experimental greenhouse to Mars and build a self-sufficient city on Mars, but he found that buying rockets was too expensive, so he built his own rockets.
His SpaceX can build rockets, launch rockets, and launch satellites. The best thing about his rockets is that they can be recycled, which can save a lot of money.
There are only four entities in the world that can put spacecraft into orbit: the United States, Russia, China and Elon Musk.
Although he didn't launch experimental greenhouses, he now launches commercial satellites and sends cargo spacecraft to the space station for NASA.
SpaceX is currently the world's most valued unlisted company, and space transportation in Russia and the United States is estimated to rely on SpaceX's technology, which even surpasses NASA.
Starlink Network Services, Inc
At the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine's domestic communication system was greatly damaged, and the domestic communication system was basically paralyzed. Musk launched his Starlink program, providing Ukraine with at least more than 10,000 satellite terminals to help restore the Internet connection.
Starlink program is a project of SpaceX US Space Exploration Technology Company, the purpose is to use its own rockets to launch a large number of small satellites into low-earth orbit, through laser communication between each other, to achieve a global satellite network, to provide low-cost, high-performance Internet services for the world, especially those remote areas where optical cables and ground base stations cannot reach.
He plans to launch 12,000 satellites to the space base by 2027, and the ultimate goal is to launch 42,000 satellites to form a near-space Internet around the world to serve the world's communications, navigation and other fields, and has now completed the launch of 2,750 satellites.
After the Starlink system is fully completed, at least three Starlink satellites will operate overhead at almost any time and anywhere on the earth, truly achieving broadband Internet all over the world, full coverage of the earth, and no dead ends in the world.
It will provide low-cost, high-speed Internet access to nearly 4.2 billion people around the world who are currently unconditionally connected or unable to access the Internet. It can make remote online services such as telemedicine, distance education, video conferencing, and online games smoother.
When all 12,000 satellites are deployed in 2027, the spectacular scene of satellite space networking, which was once only experienced in science fiction films, may really become a reality.
It is reported that SpaceX also envisages copying the Starlink plan to Mars to provide communication support for human activities on Mars in the future.
Model π Mobile phone company
Using light energy charging, and through Starlink communication, even if you are far away in the Gobi Desert, the middle of the ocean, and the top of the mountains, you can still access the Internet, and you can communicate for free if you are not affected. To put it simply, it is a mobile phone that has no phone bill and can access the Internet anywhere.
Model π is expected to be priced at $650, equivalent to 4476 yuan, and if his phone goes on the market, Apple is estimated to be eliminated.
Tesla Electric Vehicle and Energy Company
Tesla was co-founded by Martin Eberhard and Mark Tapenning, not by Musk, who entered the company as a Series A investor in 2004.
He built his first car in 2008 and a saleable car in 2012. The best thing is that Musk disclosed all Tesla's patents to the world for free in 2014, and then a variety of our domestic electric vehicles have sprung up.
Musk believes that the important thing is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which he believes threatens the world.
In the future, Musk will build a charging network where drivers can charge for free, and he hopes that one day, these charging stations will be powered by solar energy, free to drive, and pure sunlight.
Tesla, which seems to be so bullish, is the least technical of Musk's 9 companies, with a current market value of more than three trillion US dollars, is the world's highest market value car company, and allows Musk to regain the title of the world's richest man.
