Hello! I am one of the most future-oriented people, a business magnate, investor, entrepreneur, inventor and engineer. Throughout my life I have been a part of many business ventures but currently I am full-time involved in Tesla Inc., SpaceX and SolarCity. I am ambitious for the future and I believe that in my lifetime people will be able to have commercial space flights to Mars.
