Elon Musk is something like Iron Man in the modern world, but it is especially important that he invests in the development of the Future World, creating clean energy, space engineering for space exploration and much more. The goals of Elon Musk began to take shape in youth, we want to introduce you closer to how ideas and goals are born that today are technically important foundations in our lives, such as:
• Tesla
• SpaceX
• SolarCity and more
General accessible education influenced the young Musk, categories of significant areas were formed by studying books in childhood, in college libraries, he told a list of them in an interview:
5 directions of Future Humanity
▪ Make life multi-planetary
▪ Renewable energy
▪ Internet
▪ Genetics
▪ Artificial Intelligence
We recommend that you watch the part of the interview where he talks about these areas, introduces Global issues more closely.

The Educational system that we want to create will be more accessible and perfect, which will significantly increase the Futurists. People will have a widespread understanding of the world. Education affects the development of the world, which is why we want to create an educational system. What is also important - Cities of the Future, where we will invest all resources from the FW Foundation in Future Cities. Cities of the Future are needed to put advanced knowledge into practice, to implement great ideas into reality.
○ Education = □ Future Cities are interconnected, as Conditions affect Education and Education affects Creating Conditions. Without Technology, we cannot study education in the same way as without Education we cannot build anything.

"An asteroid or supervolcano can destroy us, and in addition we are at risk that dinosaurs never dreamed of: an artificially created virus, the accidental appearance of a microscopic black hole as a result of a physical experiment, catastrophic global warming, or some other destructive technology that is still unknown today cease our existence. The development of mankind took millions of years, but over the past sixty years, atomic weapons have created the potential for self-destruction. Sooner or later, our lives the knowledge will have to go beyond this blue-green ball - or we will die out "
- Elon Musk, SpaceX

All goals were based on knowledge, therefore, mainly General Education, which allows you to think globally, while assessing Safety.
Speaking about his success in an interview, he said that he was very passionate about Global Issues - space, science. He was charged with the desire to do something for the world. Education helped him think on many issues like - The Future of Humanity, that nothing significant happens in:
• The development of space engineering for flights to other planets in the near future.
• Renewable energy sources
• Global Internet and more
□
The path of his success began with the study of books, encyclopedias from childhood that moved him to knowledge. He wrote the code for a computer game at the age of 12, which he sold for $ 500. Musk invested in stocks of a pharmaceutical company which later rose in value. Having received several thousand dollars, he left for Canada to study in college. Moving forward, he received a scholarship to study at Stanford. He said that he wanted to see the most advanced developments in Silicon Valley, and nothing global was carried out, which prompted him to work on 5 main areas. | In an interview, he said that in college he often thought about the 5 main areas of future humanity. Later this played a role when he received funds from the sale of Zip2 and PayPal in the amount of about 180 million dollars and began to invest in Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity. It is also important to note countries with higher statistics of the economy, one can realize financial wealth there, and with the help of them achieve goals using the example of Elon Musk. Countries with high economic statistics: USA, Canada, England and others.
His working capacity was very high, he could work 100 hours a week, this was necessary because of the high rates, great responsibility for Tesla, SpaceX. The situation required a high load, in general, he spends 80-90 hours a week. Musk said that success depends on the numerical indicator of your schedule. A simple math example, if you work more hours than the rest you will succeed more.
All successful projects depend on the number of hours spent, but what is important is to think big, you can spend a small change or you can make a huge one. This is what distinguishes the Futurist.
We are working on an Educational System that will give us a general and special understanding of the world. We are also working on a Future Shedual that will reflect the statistics of our result in seconds. These tools will allow us to manage our world.

Companies that improve the world:
| Paypal
Simplifies and saves transaction time by making payments and transfers via the Internet. This greatly simplified payments and transfers via the Internet and saved a lot of time.
| The Boring Company
The new planned system of underground networks of tunnels, highways, to move around the city. Its advantage is the speed of moving around the city.
A large network of tunnels many levels deep would help alleviate congestion in any city, no matter how large it grew (just keep adding levels). The key to making this work is increasing tunneling speed and dropping costs by a factor of 10 or more - this is the goal of The Boring Company
| Neuralink
Neuralink has three stated goals: Treating brain disorders and helping people who had accidents, creating a brain-machine interface, and building toward a potential symbiosis with artificial intelligence.

Quotes:
- Technologies develop only when people work hard on them, if nothing is done, the development of technologies will not move anywhere.
- There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing. ”
- When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars, people said, ‘Nah, what’s wrong with a horse?’ That was a huge bet he made, and it worked.
- People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working.
