Self-taught programming immigrants

Recently, Forbes is very lively, and once there was a famous scene of "fairy fighting".

Two billionaires: elon musk and Jeff Bezos,

Take turns to grab the top spot, and the stock price behind it also rises and then rises.

Speaking of Elon Musk, I believe many people know it.

Even if I don't know, I've heard more or less that he wants to build rockets and immigrate to Mars, right?

But this gentleman really didn't talk big.

Space X, the rocket company he founded himself, will put this plan on the agenda from next year.

20 18 Tesla super factory built in Shanghai, in 2020 when the epidemic was raging,

Now he owns space exploration technology companies with a valuation of 44 billion respectively.

Tesla, worth more than $800 billion, made him the richest man in the world in an instant.

And he himself just said faintly, "I'm going back to work."

I was going to say Versailles, but on second thought, there seems nothing wrong with this sentence.

As a workaholic who works more than 100 hours a week, maybe his name is really not cue.

After all, the earth can't hold his world. His dream is to retire on Mars!

How's it going? Do you think this big brother is weird?

Let me talk to you about elon musk, the Silicon Valley Iron Man who always wants to live in an alien world.

0 1.

Young heroes are growing up.

Excellent people can spy on the possibility of the future from an early age.

Musk is like this, and he is the "child of others" in his parents' mouth.

For example, at the age of 8, you can be familiar with the Encyclopedia Britannica, and at the age of 10, you can learn programming by yourself.

Read 10 hours every day for a long time, and you can design games with code when you are 12 years old.

I also got an unexpected reward of $500 and was in the newspaper.

And it's still at 1983, equivalent to RMB 3000!

It's enough to buy 30 four-wheel drive cars, and I'm afraid to think about it ~

He is the pride in the eyes of his parents, the bully in the eyes of his classmates and the source of pain for the children next door.

Anyway, Musk relies on the super brain,

So I went to Stanford University and studied for my doctorate.

Maybe the rebellious period of youth came, and I stayed in Stanford for a few days.

Musk is clamoring to drop out of school and doesn't want to continue studying. He intends to start a business.

If you were someone else, your father might break your leg, but Musk is different.

He is a legendary teenager. At the age of 12, he can earn 500 dollars through code.

02.

-Start a business four times in a row and become a billionaire-

Musk called his younger brother, and together they developed an Internet project called Zip2.

Why is it called an Internet project?

Because this project is a bit similar to the current public comment+map +58 city.

Very forward thinking, right?

This is a platform that combines Yelp and Google Maps, mainly to find customers for the newspaper industry to sell.

In any case, the famous The New York Times and The Chicago Post are also one of their software customers.

Four years later, the project was acquired. As the boss, Musk, who is only 28 years old,

He was paid $22 million and began to join the ranks of millionaires.

In the following year, Musk continued to devote himself to his second venture and co-founded X.com.

Later, it was officially renamed Paypal and began to serve the private financial business.

Two years later, this product was acquired by Ebay Yi Bei for10.50 billion dollars.

Musk, 3 1 year-old, got $654.38+65 billion and entered the billionaire circle.

"The purpose of increasing your wealth is to hope that human beings can accelerate towards space civilization."

In June of the same year, Musk finally began his childhood dream and practiced his plan to go to Mars.

Established Space X, an American space exploration technology company, and served as CEO and chief technology officer.

In fact, there is an episode in the middle. At first, he wanted to ask the Russians to help make rockets.

But at that time, others were so skilled and arrogant that they didn't take him seriously at all, which made him feel very angry.

Ordinary people may be angry with each other, but they can learn from Musk.

I just want to compete with you fairly, justly and openly in a technical way.

Let you lose, so there is room X.

Soon, time came to 2004.

Musk invested 6.3 million yuan to become the CEO of Tesla and began to develop into the field of electric vehicles.

For electric cars, Musk always thinks that its future is limitless, and he wants to be the first person to eat crabs.

-The secret of success is to fight to the end-

Money burns quickly, like a tornado, sweeping everything.

The Falcon rocket, which cost hundreds of millions of yuan to build, failed in three attempts to launch.

In the third launch, Musk also installed three satellites provided by NASA.

And the ashes of 208 space enthusiasts, one of whom was an Apollo astronaut.

His money is only enough to support the cost of three launches, and this time he really tried with the last mentality.

Fortunately, this time there was no in-situ explosion and the launch was successful.

However, when the two engines of the rocket separated, a "rear-end collision" accident occurred and the fault occurred again.

Musk has no funds at all, and rocket technology has not been realized, which has been ridiculed and criticized by people all over the world.

"This guy knows nothing about space flight. He is making trouble for the country. "

At that time, Musk recalled that it was the "darkest moment" in his life.

I even cried with the engineer many times, and I need to take a lot of sleeping pills every day to fall asleep.

In life, he also divorced his first wife.

My mood is also very unstable, and I often wake up in the middle of the night.

Maybe God won't close one door, but he will open another. Some people see him so persistent.

Decided to support 1 100 million, let him make one last stop and try again.

Musk thought at the time that if it failed this time, it would be really finished.

During the fourth rocket launch, Musk asked employees to turn on the live broadcast.

Let people all over the world see the launch of the rocket, because it is likely to be the last time.

But friends around him advised him not to try, which was really embarrassing.

Perhaps it is this unyielding stubbornness that grits its teeth and holds life tightly.

This falcon 1 rocket has a lot of face.

Braving the wind and waves all the way, I lived up to expectations and successfully entered the earth orbit.

This time, Musk finally succeeded!

Everyone in the venue was cheering and hugging, and Musk's phone rang.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States decided to hand over the material order worth $65.438+500 million to Space X Company for transportation.

Musk, who had run out of ammunition, came back to life and became a miracle.

This dream practitioner who dares to break the tradition and build a kingdom for his ideal.

Realize those "impossible", "impossible" and "impossible" things

And gradually penetrate into daily life, bringing changes to everyone.

"I don't like to follow suit. I am not an investor.

I like to turn those technologies that are really important and valuable for the future into reality in some way. "

-It's cool to die on Mars-

Today, Space X's space industry is in full swing.

In 2020, * * * was launched 23 times, which was the busiest year for Falcon rocket launch.

The satellite chain project also launched more than 1000 satellites.

It was officially put into use in the northwestern United States and Canada.

The monthly fee is 99 dollars, and the network speed exceeds 95% of the broadband speed in the United States.

In the future, it will provide speed-up services for the Internet of the whole planet.

Secondly, after successfully sending two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station last year, the business of picking up and dropping off astronauts.

For the first time, space exploration technology company has achieved the achievement of sending people to heaven as a private enterprise.

And successfully recovered the first-class propeller, opening the era of commercial manned aviation.

In 2022, Musk will officially launch the Mars colonization plan.

The project is code-named "Very Large Rocket" (BFR).

Musk said: It is estimated that by 2050, 1 10,000 people will all be sent to Mars to live.

I was very excited when I heard it, and I felt that the future was really possible. After all, he is really a "technological superman"!

The New York Times called him "the most successful and important entrepreneur in the world".

When he 14 years old, Musk said that his future life mission:

"We should be determined to enhance human self-awareness so as to better understand the problem.

The only meaningful thing is to strive for greater collective enlightenment for mankind. "

Diligence, persistence, and keeping the initial heart, Musk turned his dream into reality with action.

His original intention of being a space exploration technology company is actually not like the "childhood complex" that some people think.

But for the future of mankind.

Enlarge your dreams and open your brain. There should be more dream practitioners like Musk.

Turn great ideas into great products and then into great undertakings.

Science and technology should be constantly improving, not just amplifying the disadvantages of human nature.

"We want a flying car, not a Weibo with the word 140."

I hope that readers and friends can read our articles about Mars in the future ~
