As far as I am concerned, the founder of Tesla Musk is the most significant entrepreneur in 20 century. What he has done is not only to make a great progress in renew-energy vehicles, but also invent some sophisticated devices which could change our life.

Tesla vehicles is changing the ways of travelling. Compared with traditional vehicles using gas and fuel, renew-energy vehicles do not emit toxic gas and carbon dioxide which plays the main role of global warming. Also, the running cost of renew-energy vehicles is lower than the combustible engine. According to statistics from China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, it costs only 20 yuan for renew-energy vehicles to drive 200 kilometres. However, it costs 50 yuan or so for traditional vehicles to drive the same distance. It has to be noticed that driving the renew-energy vehicles will provide better user experience than driving the traditional vehicles. Although there are several vehicle manufacturers producing their own renew-energy vehicles, Tesla is the most impressive and has the highest market share over the world. Moreover, Elton Musk plans to disclose all the cutting edge techniques of batteries in the near future.

Elton Musk and his research team also started the business in aerospace industry. In the past, the aerospace industry is basically monopolized by the military and government. As a result, exploring the outer space is very expensive. However, Musk make it available for civil use. He founded a company named X-space which focused on exploration of outer space. It develops the cheaper spacecraft and recycled engine which makes it possible for ordinary people travel in the space.

Recently, Musk announced that they had invented a device called brain interface. His team did a series of experiments in pigs’ brain. The device is embedded in pigs’ brain and researcher can fell the emotional mental of pigs by the device. Further, they can also control the feeling of the pigs by sending microwave through the device. In fact, the device will have a great prospect in medical health. In the near future, doctor could use it to solve some diseases about motor nerve impairment.

As stated in the previous paragraphs, Musk contributes a lot to this society. He is not a businessman, but is more like a scientist. What makes me impressive is that his attitude towards the business. He said what he had done for this world had nothing to do with making money but changing the lifestyle of humanity.
