A few key insights from Chapter 1:
- Despite being one of PayPal’s original founders, a disagreement with its board members led Elon Musk to leave the company. As a result, he began his search for what his next startup company would be after PayPal.
- The fact that NASA had no plans for going to Mars compelled Musk to fill this gap in the aerospace world. He believed that for humanity to have a long-term future, it must expand to other worlds.
- Musk started attending conferences and involved himself in the aerospace scene, which led him to meet engineers including Chris Thompson, Jim Cantrell, John Garvey, and Tom Mueller who ended up becoming his advisers.
- Musk conducted a meeting, with the help of his newfound advisers, with 15 of the most successful engineers in the field of space.
