But beyond the hype and his enormous net worth and Twitter presence,<br> here's how Musk's companies are actually taking on ... virtually every industry.\nGET THE 48-PAGE REPORT IN YOUR INBOX\nEmail\nEmail\nDOWNLOAD NOW\nElon Musk thinks and acts on a larger,<br> more cosmic scale than we\u2019re accustomed to from entrepreneurs. Elon Musk has become a household name synonymous with the future.\n\nWhether he\u2019s working on electric vehicles (Tesla) or sending rockets into space (SpaceX),<br> his larger-than-life reputation attracts its fair share of hero-worship. Musk can get a hundred breathless reporters to write about him and his companies with little more than a concept drawing and a tweet.\nWe\u2019ve decided to take a different kind of look into the Musk ecosystem.\n\nRather than assess Elon Musk and his companies on promises and hype,<br> we wanted to look at the ways in which his companies are or are not transforming the industries in which they live \u2014 with numbers,<br> hard evidence,<br> and concrete demonstrations of disruption.\n\nTo do this,<br> we took a deep dive into 8 different industries where Musk and his companies operate to understand how they have begun to change:\n\nEnergy: Read on to learn about how,<br> according to a utilities lobbying group,<br> Musk\u2019s efforts with Tesla and SolarCity could \u201clay waste to US power utilities and burn the utility business model.\u201d\nAutomotive: Musk wants Teslas to not just be affordable \u2014 he wants them to do something strange: make money for their owners. They\u2019d do this through next-generation AI and self-driving technology. We investigate how he\u2019s making it happen.\nTelecommunications: While few realize it,<br> Musk\u2019s work in space could revolutionize how we get online,<br> and provide fast,<br> affordable internet for the 4+ billion without access today.\nTransportation: We dig into how the Hyperloop,<br> Musk\u2019s proposed \u201cfifth mode of transportation\u201d that\u2019s a \u201ccross between a Concorde and an air hockey table,<br>\u201d plans to cut down the 6-hour trip from DC to New York to 30 minutes\nInfrastructure\/Tunneling: We look at how Musk\u2019s \u201cBoring\u201d Company is trying to cut costs in the notoriously expensive tunneling industry,<br> where a mile of tunnel costs $1B to dig and each additional inch in diameter costs millions more.\nAerospace\/Airlines: Find out how SpaceX plans to build a \u201cfreeway\u201d to Mars by reducing the cost of flying a space shuttle to a fraction of what it is today,<br> not to mention harness rocket technology for earth travel as a well,<br> so that a \u201cspaceflight\u201d trip from London to Hong Kong is similarly priced to a regular flight from London to Hong Kong.\nAI: We investigate why Musk,<br> who is certain that the race for AI superiority is the \u201cmost likely cause\u201d of WWIII,<br> is investing so much of his time into building better AI.\nHealthcare: We dig into the high-bandwidth,<br> minimally invasive brain machine interfaces that Neuralink is developing to create futuristic humans.\nRead on for a deep dive into just how the money,<br> invention,<br> and ingenuity of Elon Musk and his companies are transforming these vital industries.\nhttps:\/\/www.cbinsights.com\/research\/report\/elon-musk-companies-disruption\/?utm_source=CB+Insights+Newsletter&utm_campaign=e44ca54024-TuesNL_03_13_2018&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9dc0513989-e44ca54024-89126449\n\n![muskdisruption.png (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWrnp9zhMDchM5RQk6kfVNcP12sLuhYY4kf9imyJNJunJ\/muskdisruption.png)![muskhype-2-1.png (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVD4tFPkeGW3A2myYii7WvETExTBg38ExpzL8ryKX4HKY\/muskhype-2-1.png)",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"business\",<br>\"disruption\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWrnp9zhMDchM5RQk6kfVNcP12sLuhYY4kf9imyJNJunJ\/muskdisruption.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVD4tFPkeGW3A2myYii7WvETExTBg38ExpzL8ryKX4HKY\/muskhype-2-1.png\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.cbinsights.com\/research\/report\/elon-musk-companies-disruption\/?utm_source=CB+Insights+Newsletter&utm_campaign=e44ca54024-TuesNL_03_13_2018&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9dc0513989-e44ca54024-89126449\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
