My take on @SpaceX going public:
→ $75 billion raised
→ Largest IPO in history
→ Stock up 19% on day one.
Elon has brought new life to the space and transportation markets. Transportation used to be the big three with very little innovation, and @Tesla opened our minds to what could be. Space used to be only what governments said it could be, and NASA only had the budget to keep itself in business, and SpaceX opened our eyes to extraordinary Star Trekkian possibilities.
It got me thinking about what my friend Cree Edwards said about physics. Physics has been stuck in Einsteinian particles for almost a century with no real innovation.
Cree Edwards theorized, “I think we are all energy.”
So…not e=mc^2, but e=e. There is no such thing as mass. If you look at what an electron microscope shows as an atom, you might come to the same conclusion. More on that in my new book.
The biggest returns don't come from the financial models, but rather from the moment a founder forces the world to see something differently.
Elon did that with PayPal. He did it with Tesla and he just did it again with SpaceX. I think Elon and all those entrepreneurs who take on the status quo are going to really transform our universes in the next century.
