Elon Musk has done more to move humanity into the space age than any single person in the world. SpaceX launches about 90% of mass to orbit, is the only American company to reliably provide access to the space station, has reduced the cost to reach orbit by astonishing amounts, and is developing a rocket–starship–that will land on the moon and Mars in a few years.
Yesterday’s @SpaceX Starship launch was nothing short of amazing.

Then there is Tesla. Musk managed to build a new car company out of nothing, steal market share from the big boys, and is still the world’s most successful electric car company.
