[Vision2020] FW: Happy Birthday, Nikola Tesla!

[Scott Dredge]

Nikola Tesla was definitely one of of the all time greats.  On the topic of Tesla, my vote for today's #1 living inventor / visionary / entrepreneur (title formerly held by Steve Jobs) goes to Tesla Motor's CEO Elon Musk.  He just turned 42 a couple weeks back and his list of accomplishments so far are:

- Cofounder of PayPal
- Cofounder of Solar City
- Founder and current CEO of Tesla Motors
- Founder and current CEO & CTO of Space X which is the first commercial company to launch & dock a vehicle to the international space station.  Musk taught himself rocket science by reading up on it in his spare time.
- Real life version of Tony Stark (Iron Man) / genius / billionaire / playboy / philanthropist
- Married & divorced twice but so far has not let a female distract him or ruin his life.  Note that Nikola Tesla never married or dated (thank goodness!)
