Απέρριψε τα μαθήματα από τις εμπειρίες των άλλων δηλαδή και έδωσε όλο το βάρος στο να σχηματίσει ιδία άποψη μέσω trial and error.
Ο άλλος λόγος για τον οποίο δεν είναι απλά ένας πλούσιος επενδυτής είναι η φιλοσοφία του. Κάθε εταιρία του μετά το PayPal υπηρετεί τον ίδιο overarching σκοπό.

She wasn’t, like, watching me. I was off making explosives and reading books and building rockets and doing things that could have gotten me killed. I’m shocked that I have all my fingers.” He raises his hands and examines them, then lowers his digits. “I was raised by books. Books, and then my parents.”
Some of those books help explain the world Musk is building, particularly Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series. The books are centered around the work of a visionary named Hari Seldon, who has invented a scientific method of predicting the future based on crowd behavior. He sees a 30,000-year Dark Ages waiting ahead for humankind, and creates a plan that involves sending scientific colonies to distant planets to help civilization mitigate this unavoidable cataclysm.
“Asimov certainly was influential because he was seriously paralleling Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, but he applied that to a sort of modern galactic empire,” Musk explains. “The lesson I drew from that is you should try to take the set of actions that are likely to prolong civilization, minimize the probability of a dark age and reduce the length of a dark age if there is one.”
I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.
