Co-founded Paypal, sold his stake, and used the money to help found:

- SpaceX, a space transportation company (CEO)
- Tesla Motors, a manufacturer of electric cars and components (CEO)
- SolarCity, a solar power system installer and supplier (Chairman)


SpaceX is now transporting cargo to and from the ISS, at prices half those of its competition. They independently developed the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule, and have 23 purely commercial contracts lined up for the next 4 years.

The Tesla Model S is one of the best selling electric cars on the market, despite its $70k+ price tag. It has the longest range (208-265 mi) and highest performance (0-60: 5.9-4.2s) of any mass market EV, backed up by a growing network of fast chargers across the US and Europe. Tesla plans to produce 21,000+ cars this year at their factory in Fremont, California.

SolarCity is one of the largest suppliers of solar service in the US.

Rich corporate visionaries? I'd rather less people look up to those sorts. It just creates false expectations and greed.

Edit: Bitter cynicism aside, yeah, he is better to look up to than celebrities.
