Bigwig of our modern universe Elon Musk

1. BIGWIG OF OUR MODERN UNIVERSE-STORY OF A NERD BOY
A boy from Pretoria, South Africa; who is so studious that he has become one of the most powerful
person in the universe is Elon Musk, who faced parent’s broken relationships, bullies and abuse in school
at childhood though he never stop fighting against the negativity of life , is now working on to make
habitant in mars. He had that golden spark from his childhood. At the age of 12, he had made a computer
game ‘Blaster’ only being a book warms, which was quite tough for young teenage boy in 1983 and he
sold it for few bucks. Behalf of his honor, the code was republished in the ‘musk biography’ and Google
software engineer Tomas Lloret took this game upon himself to form an html 5 version of the game that
can be played on the web. After completing high school studies he went to his mom in North America for
further studies. Musk has done his undergraduate from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario and later
transferred to University of Pennsylvania to pursue a dual-degree, Bachelor of Science in Physics from
Penn's College of Arts and Sciences and Bachelor of Science in Economics from Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania. He has faced many hard situation of the life that he had to work as a sweeper
to feed him, but he has overcome every trouble that he got ever in to his life.
He came to United States of America to have P.H.D. degree from Stanford University, in the mean time,
he perceived that internet has been going to the most powerful and important link for the future world, so
he dropped out and make own self devoted to explore the depth of the internet world. In the year of 1995
a online company ‘Global Link Information Network’, which was later renamed as ‘Zip2’ with his
brother Kimbal Musk by investing his patriarchal property. Their aim was to help businesses clueless
about the internet to get online for the first time. ‘Zip2’ was a web software startup that created online city
guides for assisting newspapers i.e. - The Newyork Times, The Chicago Tribune. After dysfunction of
‘Zip2’,it was sold to ‘Compaq’ from it he got 7% share of 370 million dollar in 1999.
And it was not an end point of his inventory and he formed ‘X.com’, in the same year he was moved
away from his first project ‘Zip2’, 1999. ‘X.com’ was one of the world's first online banks, and deposits
were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). X.com merged with ‘Cofinity’ in
2000 because there had a though that x.com would have broader long term potential if it was merged with
‘Cofinity’. So it happened and renamed as ‘Paypal’ , operates as a payment processor for online
vendors, auction sites, and other commercial users, for which it charges a fee in exchange for benefits
such as one-click transactions and password memory. ‘EBay’ an American multinational e-commerce
corporation, found his interest in ‘Paypal’ for promoting and invigorating online transaction process, and
as a result Paypal was sold to ‘Ebay’ in July, 2002 with 1.5 billion dollars.
After that he changed his gear 180 degree and formed a Pvt. Company ‘Space-x’ in 2002. He planned to
send a satellite on the earth’s orbit. But he had not have making of rocket techniques. So he rushed to
Russia, after probing high price of rocket which made his satellite to send the orbit unsustainable. So he
just learn the rocket science from the books though he had not any rocket science degree, he to a very first
step to make own rocket in USA as a Pvt. Company’s co-founder for the first time ever. So, he made his
own rocket with own innovative techniques and got three rocket crashed. At the fourth attempt, he
improved his techniques and concluded the success to send the rocket, Dragon in 2010. And there is the
first propulsive landing for an orbital rocket (Falcon 9 in 2015), the first reuse of an orbital rocket (Falcon
9 in 2017), and the first private company to launch an object into orbit around the sun (Falcon heavy 's
payload of a Tesla Roadster in 2018).Since 2015, the company has continued to impress, launching

2. unnamed cargo vehicles to the International Space Station(ISS) and winning a contract from NASA to fly
astronauts as well, as early as 2017.There have been setbacks- most disastrously june of 2017, when a
cargo rocket bound for the is exploded on route, costing the crew much-needed supplies and shaking
confidence in the company as a whole. On december, 2017; however Elon bounced back, launching a
payload of satellites to orbit and then recovering the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket, which landed
upright, setting itself down under the power of its own engines, just six miles from the Cape Canaveral
launch pad, recoverable, reusable rocket stages that touch down on dry land have been talked about for
decades as a way to keep costs down and speed turnaround times, but none one had been able to do it-
until now. The company has used its dragon spacecraft to make uncrewed cargo runs to the ISS. The
Dragon was designed with crew compatibility in mind, which means the ship has already proven its basic
space worthiness, though it has a good way to go before its life support systems are similarly proven.
Spacex and Boeing are both scheduled to begin crewed runs to the ISS in 2017, and NASA has already
designated the first astronauts who will fly in the new ships. The 2017 target could slip and the June
explosion of one of Spacex’s cargo rockets during launch was hardly good news for the company. The
recent launch of the Falcon 9, even without the upright first-stage landing, was a confidence booster. But
with astronaut lives on the line in future flights, the company will have to put a string of good launches
together to make up for that very bad one. Becoming the apple of the rocket business is one way of
looking at it, though Musk demurs on that analogy without demurring on the idea of assuming a similarly
dominant role in the space sector. His biggest, dreamiest target is sending people to mars—which does
not make him unusual unless he can actually achieve it. He boasts that he could fly human passengers
there for as little as $500,000 per seat, but in this case he may be over-promising. The laws of economics
might be even harder to overcome than the law of physics and neither has been cracked sufficiently yet to
make a Mars mission achievable. Even the rockets (104 nos) sent by ISRO is not reusable after once it
sent but space-x rockets are reusable at low cost so they are able to complete each and every task are
given to Space-x rockets are to upgraded than other rocket’s company that they competing very well and
they are getting rivals e.g. - United Launch Alliance, Ariane Group, Blue Origin, Virgin orbit,
Stratolaunch System, China and NASA. He also have plan about a satellite which delivers fastest internet
network for each and every place in the world.
In 2004, after meeting Elon, Martin Eberhard the co-founder of Tesla motor was realized that musk was
the first guy who shared his vision for electric cars: make a vastly superior car, not just a car that sucks
less. A car like that would redefine what an electric car could be. And given the relatively small size of
the sports-car market, a new automaker could have an effect on its first at bat, rather than trying to force
its way into the crowded economy market. Then, once the Roadster had destroyed the myth that electric
cars had to apologize for being cars, Tesla could move into more accessible price points. But Musk led
the $7.5 million round and became the chairman of the board. It was time for Tesla to grow. It’s widely
understood that Elon Musk has revolutionized the auto industry with his innovative and forward thinking
company Tesla Automobiles. What is lesser knows in how he has revolutionized the production of those
vehicles. Much like Henry Ford did 100 years ago with mass production on an assembly line, Musk is
taking a new look at how automobiles are made in the 21st
century. Tesla model s actually begin with

3. coils of raw aluminum which is cut, stamped and joined to create a complete vehicle all within one
facility. Their revolutionary method, conveyance within the plant, is the innovative use of robotics. At a
typical automotive plant, the vehicle on a “Train” which never stops, it just keeps moving and people
come to it to add their component. At Tesla the model s is on a “Smart Cart” which moves about the plant
as necessary. Robotics is used at all vehicle manufacturing plants today, working alongside 10,000 or
more humans. Usually robots to do large jobs which are too dangerous for humans or tasks which humans
cannot do fast enough. At Tesla 160 robots are used alongside 3,000 humans to do large tasks, as well as
many dedicate and precise jobs. Tesla robotics is also incredibly versatile; instead of repeatedly doing a
single job, some are designed to change their tooling while working on a car to do multiple specialized
tasks. Tesla introduced its autopilot feature in 2015. It gives its cars the ability to drive autonomously in
some situations and the rolled out new hardware on all of its vehicles. The new hardware suite enables the
latest iteration of the driving system, which is called Enhanced Autopilot. Tesla cars made since October
2016 come with eight cameras that have a complete, 360-degree range of vision around the car. Each of
the cameras can see up to 250 meters away. Twelve ultrasonic sensors make sure the car can recognize
and avoid both hard and soft objects. A radar system helps the car see through fog, heavy rain, dust, or a
car in front of it. All new Tesla cars have the necessary hardware for enhanced autopilot, but customers
have to pay to turn the semi-autonomous system on. Enhanced Autopilot costs $5,000 at the time of
purchase or a buyer can activate it later for $6,000. When driving on the highway, Enhanced Autopilot
can control the vehicle's speed based on the traffic around it, determine whether to stay in or change
lanes, move between freeways, and take exits. The system doesn't just work on straight-aways, though. It
can also handle turns and roads with complicated shapes. But since Tesla's cars aren't fully autonomous
yet, autopilot makes sure the driver's hands stay on the wheel. If the driver's hands leave the wheel for too
long, the car will make the driver pull over and park before reactivating the system. Once driver leaves
the highway, the car will return control to the driver. But once driver reaches his destination, it can
identify open parking spots and control either parallel or perpendicular parking. Driver can also tell the
car to enter or exit his garage without having to be behind the wheel. Once the necessary regulatory
conditions and software are available, Musk says Tesla's cars have the hardware for complete,
autonomous driving. Customers can buy the full self-driving capability for $8,000 at the time of purchase
or pay $10,000 to turn on the autonomous system later. The complete self-driving system will use GPS
Technology to find the optimal route to its given destination. If the car isn't given a destination, it can
check the owner's calendar to determine the best destination or take the owner home. Musk says that in
full self-driving mode, Tesla will be at least twice as safe as they would be with a human driver at the
wheel. Tesla's autonomous, cross-country trip will gives us an indication of how the close its cars are to

4. having full self-driving capabilities. With this much innovation only 13 years after their founding, so it is
very much expected to have greatest impact in automotive industry after 25-50 years .
In 2006, Elon founded ‘Solar City’ a energy production company with his cousins, Lyndon Rive and
Peter Rive. Solar City, which focuses on putting solar panels on the roofs of homes and buildings, didn’t
invent the solar panel. Musk feels that aesthetics, in particular, will be crucial for Solar City, which
hopes to win over the kinds of consumers who might balk at installing traditional solar panels on top
of their houses. Solar City isn’t the first company ever to produce a solar tile, and most in that space
have floundered. But the merger with Tesla allows the company to offer vertical integration,
potentially meeting all of its customers’ energy needs.
In august 2013, Spacex and Tesla CEO Elon Musk published a white paper detailing a “Hyperloop” a
super-fast passenger train that would overcome the usual friction by levitating above its track on air-
bearings in an enclosed low-pressure tube. In the five years since, advancements have been incremental –
a few interesting engineering choices have been swamped by announcements of feasibility studies for
routes between populated cities. The pod would get its initial velocity from an external linear electric
motor, which would accelerate it to 'High Subsonic Velocity' and then give it a boost every 70 miles or
so; in between, the pod would coast along in near vacuum. Each capsule could carry 28 passengers (other
versions aim to carry up to 40) plus some luggage; another version of the pods could carry cargo and
vehicles. Pods would depart every two minutes (or every 30 seconds at peak usage). The Hyperloop
System built by Spacex at its headquarters in Hawthorne, California, is approximately one mile in length
with a six foot outer diameter. On oct. 21, 2018, futurist Elon Musk announced via twitter that his ‘The
Boring Company's first Hyperloop’ tunnel was "almost done." and it would be open for rides on Dec. 10,
2018. There will be a grand opening event that night, and then the public can take a ride in the test tunnel
the next day. The boring company is an infrastructure and tunnel construction company founded by Elon
Musk in 2016. Musk has cited difficulty with Los Angeles traffic and limitations with the current 2-d
transportation network as inspiration for the project and to handle Hyperloop Technology. The tunnel
starts at Musk's Spacex headquarters in Hawthorne, California, and runs for 2 miles under the streets of
the city. The test tunnel will have a top speed of 155 mph (249 KpH), which is not quite the 760 mph
(1,223 KpH) that The Boring co. is predicting for future tunnels. To be fair, there's hardly room to get up
to speeds like that and brake safely in a 2-mile stretch.
According to Musk, Hyperloop would be useful on Mars as no tubes would be needed because Mars'
atmosphere is about 1% the density of the Earth's at sea level. For the Hyperloop concept to work on the

5. Earth, low-pressure tubes are required to reduce air resistance. However, if they were to be built on Mars,
the lower air resistance would allow a Hyperloop to be created with no tube, only a track.
In 2015, Elon founded OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence (AI) research company that aims to
promote and develop friendly AI in such a way as to benefit humanity as a whole. OpenAI states that “it's
hard to fathom how much human-level AI could benefit society,” and that it's equally difficult to
comprehend “how much it could damage society if built or used incorrectly”. Research on safety cannot
safely be postponed: “because of AI's surprising history, it's hard to predict when human-level AI might
come within reach.”OpenAI states that AI “should be an extension of individual human wills and, in the
spirit of liberty, as broadly and evenly distributed as possible...”, and which sentiment has been expressed
elsewhere as a dialog in reference to a potentially enormous class of AI-enabled products: “Are we really
willing to let our society be infiltrated by autonomous software and hardware agents whose details of
operation are known only to a select few? Of course not.” Musk and Altman's counter-intuitive strategy of
trying to reduce the risk that AI will cause overall harm, by giving AI to everyone, is controversial among
those who are concerned with existential risk from Artificial Intelligence.
Elon musk has no shortage of ambitious, inspiring, and downright crazy ideas. His newest ventures,
called Neuralink in 2016,is arguably one his most fascinating yet.. Neuralink, Elon Musk's neuro-
technology company, is building a tool to link human brains with computers without a physical
connection. Neuralink aims to make devices that initially would treat serious brain disease and brain
damage that was caused by a stroke in the short-term. In the long-term, the company's goal is to develop
the technology for human enhancement. Musk believes that brain-to-machine interfaces are an important
part of humanity’s future – preferably without the dystopian tagalongs. Neuralink wants to find the best
possible ways to make that mind connection possible. There’s also a more paranoid factor at work: musk
and others are worried about the impact of A.I. on the world, especially if that A.I. turns against humans.
Musk would prefer that we have a more direct way to control A.I. if necessary, and would like to find a
way to increase our intelligence to compete with the super smart A.I. programs of the future.
There have no doubt that Elon Musk is a genius of this era and his plenty gimmick will give a new way to
ameliorate our circadian groove.
