I love nothing more in life than someone who follows their dreams with relentless determination & single-minded focus. And heck, if they can make a mint while doing it all the better. Elon Musk is a visionary with a capital V. I first spotted him looking for love in Forbes Life a few months ago & most recently he was profiled on 60 Minutes as his company SpaceX made history on May 25th by being the first private company to successfully launch & dock a cargo ship to the International Space Station. As if cofounding PayPal, producing the first fully electric sports car under his company Tesla Motors & his recent historical space launch weren't enough, Elon wants space travel to be an option for us non-astronauts in the near future. Can you imagine?! He dreams big & makes things happen (he was even the real life inspiration for genius inventor Tony Sparks, aka "Iron Man"). My favorite quote: "I don't ever give up. I mean, I'd have to be dead or completely incapacitated." Keep this guy on your radar screen- his swagger is going to have us all visiting Mars in no time.
