59. Starship Surge
Starship Surge became a defining moment in SpaceX's journey toward revolutionizing space travel, with the ambitious goal of rapid rocket reusability taking center stage in July 2021. At the heart of this push was Mechazilla, a towering launchpad structure equipped with massive chopstick-like arms designed to catch the returning booster of Starship instead of relying on ocean landings or complex landing legs. Musk's vision for this innovation was driven by the belief that for spaceflight to be truly…-

53. Starship
Starship was born out of Elon Musk’s deep-rooted aspiration to make humanity an interplanetary species, a goal that required a spacecraft far beyond the capabilities of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. While those rockets had revolutionized spaceflight through reusability, they were ultimately insufficient for the scale of Mars colonization that Musk envisioned. In response, he launched an ambitious project originally called the BFR (Big F**king Rocket), later rebranded as Starship, a fully reusable rocket…-

52. Starlink
Starlink emerged as a bold initiative by SpaceX, transforming from a mere concept into a crucial project aimed at reshaping global internet accessibility while generating substantial revenue to support Musk’s long-term vision of Mars colonization. Unlike traditional satellite providers that relied on large, geostationary satellites orbiting 22,000 miles above Earth, Starlink was designed as a low-Earth orbit (LEO) network, positioning thousands of small satellites at just 340 miles. This innovative…-

51. Cybertruck
Cybertruck emerged as one of Tesla’s most ambitious projects, a vehicle that challenged every preconceived notion about what a pickup truck should look like and how it should function. In the late 2010s, while competitors focused on refining conventional designs, Elon Musk sought a radical departure from industry norms, driven by a desire to merge cutting-edge technology with extreme durability. His collaboration with Tesla’s chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, became an exercise in creative…-

41. The Launch of Autopilot
The Launch of Autopilot, covering the years 2014 to 2016, provides a detailed look into Elon Musk's determination to develop Tesla's autonomous driving technology, which he envisioned as a bold departure from Google’s lidar-based approach. In the early stages, Musk and Larry Page of Google discussed the possibility of collaboration, but their differing philosophies—especially when it came to artificial intelligence (AI) and its role in self-driving systems—led Musk to pursue Tesla's own unique…-

40. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence has long been an area of focus for Elon Musk, who has become a vocal advocate for responsible and cautious development in the field. His involvement with AI began to take shape in 2012, when he attended a conference organized by Peter Thiel. It was here that Musk met Demis Hassabis, a brilliant neuroscientist, video game designer, and chess prodigy who co-founded DeepMind with the aim of developing artificial general intelligence (AGI). Musk’s interest in Hassabis’s work quickly…-

The Falcon Hears the Falconer represents a pivotal chapter in SpaceX’s journey between 2014 and 2015, as Elon Musk’s ambition to develop a fully reusable rocket started taking shape. His goal was to revolutionize the economics of space travel, making it significantly cheaper by reusing rockets instead of discarding them after a single flight. This effort materialized in the Grasshopper program, an early prototype designed to demonstrate controlled landings. The first vertical takeoff and landing tests…
