Elon Musk has a history of pursuing ambitious projects in industries like energy, transportation, and space exploration. He is driven to accomplish goals that others deem impossible, such as making electric cars mainstream, reducing global warming through sustainable energy, and making humanity a multiplanetary species by colonizing Mars. His current and future projects seem aimed at revolutionizing transportation through innovations like high-speed underground tunnels, autonomous electric vehicles, and space tourism.
