This mini documentary takes a look at how Elon Musk sees the world
through a scientific and engineering mind - and how this fuels the businesses
he has started. We will also take a look at how he taught himself about different
industries: from banking (Paypal), to rocket engineering (SpaceX).
Elon Musk champions the use of physics as a way of thinking. And
believes that more people should be innovating in manufacturing - to help build
the city of the future. Rather than entering the finance, law, or internet
based industries. This video also takes a look at the 'reasoning from first
principles' framework - which will allow anyone to view their world, personal
and business, just like Elon.
