Elon Musk is a science-driven business leader, interested particularly in tech with the potential to transform humanity. He loves to push the limits of innovation and is undeterred by the criticism that sometimes accompanies his ideas. 

As CEO of Tesla  (TSLA) , he’s dedicated to converting the world to a mode of transport compatible with protecting the environment and fighting climate change.

And he has set other missions for himself. One — Neuralink — is to build a machine in which we can download our memories and personalities. The other, SpaceX, is aiming to conquer the planet Mars.
