Elon Musk

1971–Present · Founder of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink & xAI

Reusable rockets that land themselves. Electric cars that outperform supercars. Brain-computer interfaces. A plan to put humans on Mars. Every industry he enters tells him it's impossible, automotive, aerospace, energy, AI, and he builds it anyway. He nearly went bankrupt three times. He slept on factory floors. Love him or hate him, nobody alive pushes harder at the ceiling of what's possible. A Grithosian doesn't accept limits. They redefine them.
