Deriving a story from the need to serve humanity makes one more capable of amazing feats.
There are a lot of people talking about Elon Musk. I for one have been interested in the progression of technologies that have the ability to change the world. He is the founder of Tesla, Space X, Solar City, and other companies. But, what is more interesting is what actually drives him.
Elon wants to save humanity from annihilation from expending fossil fuel, and from possibly devastating event on Earth. This fuels him to replace all the fossil fuel cars with electric, and build starships to colonize Mars. He tells the same story over and over: we must replace fossil fuel cars with renewable electric cars. Or he tells about why it is so important to colonize Mars, so we can improve humanity’s chance of surviving a catastrophic event here on Earth. So, pretty much his whole goal is to serve, and save, humanity.
Although he is a billionaire, it does not appear that his interest is in earning more money. Some evidence that he isn’t interested in his own glory is that he is opening patents to battery technology to others in the industry. He wants other car companies to build electric cars, so humanity can reach his vision of replacing all fossil fuel cars with electric cars.
This vision of a better future for humanity has helped his team create new technologies and breakthroughs that will inevitably help them reach their goals much sooner than possible. And example of this is using stainless steal on their new star ship. They are thinking outside the box and coming up with solutions because in their mind it is imperative to do so for that sake of us all.
