This Is How The Story Went: The Spark of Invention (Age 10), between Elon Musk and Henry Ford, starting from how Henry Ford geared up innovation in his own era.
Henry Ford stared at the rusted gears of his father’s pocket watch, completely mesmerized. While other children ran through the Michigan fields, Henry sat on a wooden bench, painstakingly rebuilding the mechanism with makeshift tools. Across an ocean of time and space, ten-year-old Elon Musk sat in a dimly lit room in Pretoria, South Africa. His eyes reflected the glow of a Commodore VIC-20 screen. He was completely isolated from the playground noise outside, deep into writing his own space-themed video game code for the first time.
The Driven Outsiders (Age 20) Between Both Elon and Ford
By age twenty, Henry Ford was an apprentice machinist in Detroit. He walked home late at night with grease stained deep into his fingernails. He was constantly dreaming of a carriage that could move without a horse. Meanwhile, Elon had left South Africa for North America. He was a penniless college student surviving on a dollar a day. He spent his nights reading textbooks on physics and materials science, convinced that the internet, clean energy, and space travel would define humanity's future. Ideally, he conceived at an early age, took action, and started working towards it.
The First Major Triumphs (Age 30) Between Henry and Elon
At thirty, Henry stood in a brick shed, shivering in the Michigan winter. He swung an axe to break down the wall because his newly completed Quadricycle was too wide for the door. It was his very first successful self-propelled vehicle.
Simultaneously, Elon was pacing the floors of a chaotic Silicon Valley office. Having just sold his first internet company, Zip2, he was now pouring his fortune into X.com. This risky venture would soon merge to become PayPal, disrupting global finance forever, and has been successful to date.
The Industrial Titans (Age 45)
By age forty-five, both men had completely rewritten the rules of global industry.
Henry stood proudly at the head of the Highland Park plant, watching a black Model T roll off the world's first moving assembly line every three minutes. He had successfully put the middle class on wheels.
Elon stood on a scorched launchpad in Cape Canaveral, looking up at a Falcon 9 rocket. His company, SpaceX, had just achieved the impossible by landing an orbital rocket booster upright on a drone ship at sea, while his other company, Tesla, was forcing the entire global automotive market to abandon gasoline; these are ideals that kick-started from 10 and today are so promising.
