In a story on Inc.com, curiously with only 265 “shares” since it was posted in August (possibly because of the popular, however still incorrect misuse of the term “impacting” by the author?) Musk outlines the three things that drive his focus:
“In the case of Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, and PayPal… it really stemmed from when I was in college and trying to think: what would affect the future most likely in a positive way?” Musk said. “So the three areas I was quite sure would be positive were sustainable energy, the Internet, and making life multi-planetary.”
Our favorite quote about the internet:
“Previously, communication would have to occur almost by osmosis. You know, from one person slowly through telephone, mail, something like that,” Musk said. “Now if you have a nervous system, any part of the human collective can know about any other part instantly.”
