Yes I am an @elonmusk fanboi - This brief thread explains why.

1. In 2012 @Tesla produced and delivered an electric vehicle, the Model S, with 265 miles of range and amazing performance.

It's 2020. No one else has matched that yet.

8+ years ahead. /1

2. In 2015 @SpaceX landed an orbital rocket booster, Orbcomm-OG2-2.

It's 2020. No one else has even tried. No one is anywhere close to trying.

SpaceX has done it 60+ times.

6+ years ahead. /2

3. In 2016 Elon announced @boringcompany. This radical idea is making progress at solving our traffic problems and doing more for us.

They are about to complete their first project - Las Vegas. More to come. /3

4. Elon started @neuralink in 2016. They're about to start human trials. This could cure numerous diseases including paralysis, blindness, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and so much more.

Who else is doing anything like this? /4

5. I started my own business - a law firm - in 2003. We succeeded in getting clients online and integrated PayPal into our website.

I'm pretty sure we've processed over $1M in transactions with PayPal since then. Maybe $2M.

Elon made my business work. /5

So that's a start.

Yes I'm an Elon Musk fanboi.

Why the hell aren't you?

I went for a walk and realized I should add this:

While I'm a generally optimistic person, I have had growing fears about our future, mainly because of politics.

Elon gives me hope:

Hope that I will survive Alzheimers.
Hope that I will set foot on Mars.
