The Personality of Elon Musk by Dr. KRS Murthy
The Personality of Elon Musk
Dr. KRS Murthy
The earth has had many interesting personalities in its history. They are interesting people in very different ways from each other. Here are some examples:
Intellectual genius: Examples: Albert Einstein as a scientist, “Mahatma” Gandhi was very different in his attire, growing up, education, his idiosyncratic style of the freedom fight, stubbornness. Great artists, painters, sculptors, and even architects, too many to list. Music composers we all admire and enjoy their compositions. Chess grandmasters, including the strange Bobby Fisher. Many great athletes, and sports heroes we all admire to watch perform. Politicians and including Presidents and Prime Ministers of countries. Mathematicians like Ramanujan are even difficult to guess the source of their genius. Even the categories of the unique genius types are also many. I have intentionally not mentioned the outlier types like Adolf Hitler, Kim of North Korea, and the like.
Elon Musk Way!
He draws the attention of all of us, the media, the world leaders presidents, and prime ministers. He has recently challenged Vladimir Putin for a “one on one dual”. He even mentioned in a Ted interview that he thinks Putin is richer than him. Elon Musk’s strangeness is in comparing himself to the likes of Putin.
Elon Musk has started many companies, one every two to three years, all with super claims. A good percentage of his companies had ZERO technical credibility, one of them being the vacuum-based tube rail project from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Solar PV energy-based company that he claimed to revolutionize the power generation industry. An autonomous car that he even gave timelines. Every time he is asked by the really naive media personalities, some with the British Queen's English accent, he gives excuses, and then says, “I am always correct”. He has the facility to electrolyze water to get hydrogen and oxygen. His intended application verticals include the clean energy car or other automobiles like trucks, and rocket fuel, He uses solar panels and wind turbines to do electrolysis. What is new in this electrolysis-based infrastructure, and solar PV and wind power? Absolutely nothing new. The electrochemistry in the electrolysis is very old and known to be of low efficiency not to be economically meaningful. Once the hydrogen and oxygen are produced from water, they need to be pressurized using more energy to get liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen, if not pressurized, but in gaseous form is very large in volume. The liquid hydrogen and the liquid oxygen should be put in bottles or tanks made of very expensive metals like vanadium (V). Hydrogen can diffuse at relatively high rates in the metal because it's so small or in other words the lightest element or gas in nature with one proton and one electron., If you take metal and put it in a hydrogen-rich environment, it will uptake the hydrogen, and this causes hydrogen embrittlement. The hydrogen in liquid form weighs much less than the hydrogen tank container metal. The container made of rare metal is a lot more expensive than the liquid hydrogen. The transportation cost of the hydrogen or oxygen tanks adds up for every mile of road transportation, and even a lot more on the sea and furthermore if by air.
The energy equation of any technological ideas or processes in the energy industry should be supported by the total ended to end energy equation which is made up of energy gains and losses of all steps end to end, which equation includes pluses and minuses of energy for each step, and the summation will clearly indicate if the total energy business is positive or negative. In addition, the corresponding profits and losses in each of those process steps, when the summation is done will give us the profitability. Cost of money, profits, and losses of the different process steps, truthfully apportioned, will give the cost of monetary burden. It is important and imperative for me to clearly and unequivocally state that I have covered only a few of the various holistically considered and calculated and recalculated before and after each modification to the process steps, especially employing a suite of analytical processes, further audited by a multidisciplinary team, including outside independent auditor companies. Elon Musk may neither understand nor may not have the basic professional and educational foundations, and surely no intentions to be honest with his various investors, the employees, the management levels, the country, all shareholders, and all stakeholders.
This is the utmost insanity of Elon Musk in every start-up and company he has started and run, firstly because he does not even understand even the basics of physics, engineering, technology, manufacturing, supply chain, and even the basics of profit-driven business acumen. He may not even listen to balanced thinkers and well-grounded professionals with a solid foundation and conscientious professionalism.
Most probably, he is surrounded by tinkers, and surely no serious scientists of high caliber, and accomplishment track record. He has made repeated media statements that the schools and colleges are a waste to any society. Just because he do not go to higher education universities, and probably was not even qualified to get admission to a university of high standing.
I strongly feel based on everything known publicly about him that he takes away and practically steals any and all original ideas generated by his scientists and engineers and calls them his own original ideas in all his media appearances.
It is also strange that many consider him a role model. Those numerous are attracted to his financial worth, even though they were all accumulated with a series of different lies in the media, the utmost greed of Elon Musk
Elon Musk Weakness
His greed is to accumulate an insane number of trillions for himself. He likes to play a variety of unfair games with everyone and all stakeholders including his private equity investors, the wealthy investors who consider everything a game of life, the commoner investors who are also driven by greed, probably many politicians, political lobbyists, different elected officials even to the top, the power brokers, not limited to the USA, but all countries friendly and unfriendly to the USA. Do you by chance call all of the above strengths or weaknesses?
Please answer the following from your own perspectives. Please don’t limit to any words and sentences.:
Why does he start so many companies?
His way to $Trillions
Is the general public who buys Musk company stockholders naive?
Are the private equity financial backers of Elon Musk blinded by his claims?
