Elon Musk birthday

The man, the myth, the legend, and probably Twitter’s most favorite person, Elon Musk is a gem. Despite several controversies around Mars, Bitcoin, and claiming the title of the world’s richest person, Elon Musk continues to a gift that never stops giving. So today, on his 50th birthday, here’s a look back at the top 12 Elon Musk moments which prove why he’s the most popular CEO on the planet.

1: Elon Musk Plans to Blow Nukes on Mars

Stephen Colbert asked a question about how long it will take for humans to be able to easily live on Mars. Well, Elon’s answer dropped like a bomb. He said that humans could warm up the atmosphere of Mars (basically terraform it) with a couple of Nukes. Now I don’t have a degree in Nuclear Physics or “Terraform engineering” but this was something which only Elon Musk could have said. And I love it.

2: Historic Landing of Falcon 9 Rocket

This particular event was quoted by National Geographic as “Space X Makes History”, so you better believe that this will be in history books in the future. The epic launch of the Falcon 9 rocket was an event which was watched worldwide by millions of people. The tension and the drama during this event alone could be made into an Oscar-worthy movie. Needless to say, this was one of the best Elon Musk moments ever.

3: Elon Musk exposes Top Gear

The feud between Jeremy Clarkson and Elon Musk goes back several years. It all started when Clarkson reviewed the first generation Tesla Roadster on his popular show Top Gear and implied that the car had run out of battery during the road test. Later on, Elon came along to show that Clarkson was falsely implying a problem with the car. I’ll let you watch the video for yourself as it is full of revelations and quite interesting.

4: Elon Musk Showcases Tesla Roadster

This might not exactly be among the best Elon Musk moments, but the Tesla Roadster is one hell of a car. It can do 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds. Achieving this kind of acceleration is so difficult that there are actual YouTube videos explaining the same thing.

And it’s not just that, the Tesla Roadster, which will launch in 2020 will have a 600miles/1000kms battery range. A lot of people are waiting for this car and for good reason. The Tesla Roadster is an economic hyper sports car; no one thought it could be possible, but Elon Musk still did it.

5: Elon Musk Talks About His Raging Mind

Elon Musk is a genius, there are no two thoughts about it. But everything comes at a cost, even being a genius. Most people remember the interview between Elon Musk and Joe Rogen for the moment when he tried out some weed. However, the most interesting part of the interview was when Elon talked about how his brain is constantly full of ideas and that he never gets any mental rest.

7: Elon Musk Wants a Catgirl Waifu

In the words of the great Elon Musk: “I love Anime”. During his famous TED event, Elon explained the “need” to bio-engineer catgirls for the future. But again all of this is just pure fun and he obviously isn’t going to start genetically engineering new organisms.
