Elon Musk is such a fucking genius.

I know most people agree but here are a few reasons if you still have doubts.

Electric cars became cool so everyone wanted in. Crazy money went into R&D.

Guess who spent the least? ELON MUSK!

Tesla had only spent < $2b while Volkswagen had spent < $14b. A whopping 700% difference!

Who has more electric vehicles on the road today?

He led Tesla to the first IPO in the automobile industry since 1956.

For an industry so competitive and records very few ‘highly successful’ entries, that’s beyond impressive!

Kia and Hyundai are the only other ones I can think of in the last 20 years.

By 2018, Tesla’s valuation was $59bn and >>> General Motors at $53bn.

It’s 2020 and Tesla is valued at $341bn - a 480% increase in 2 years!

General Motors is valued at $43.59bn - an 18% decrease in 2 years.

Why am I excited about Elon? It’s down to the simplicity of Tesla’s strategy.

Tesla smashed every set goal he outlined in the 2006 strategy document in the 10 year timeframe it was valid.

Elon Musk updated it in 2016 and 4 years later, Tesla is headed in that direction!

Like Bill Gates said, Elon is a different kind of CEO. He’s often seen in the factory working alongside regular engineers to improve Tesla cars.

If you have money, buy Tesla stocks and hold for the long haul.

I’m off to beg @dondekojo for $5k. I’ll pay back over 10 years.
