Elon Musk on the problem with corporate America: ‘Too many MBAs’

Tesla CEO Elon Musk gestures as he arrives to visit the construction site of the future US electric car giant Tesla, on September 03, 2020 in Gruenheide near Berlin.Odd Andersen | AFP | Getty .Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk says the biggest problem with corporate America today is that too many business school graduates are running the show.

“I think that there might be too many MBAs running companies,” Musk said Tuesday at the WSJ CEO Summit.

This “MBA-ization of America,” isn’t great, Musk said, especially when it comes to product innovation. Big corporate CEOs often get caught up in the numbers and lose sight of their mission, which is to create “awesome” products or services, according to Musk.

“There should be more focus on the product or service itself, less time on board meetings, less time on financials.”

“A company has no value in itself. It only has value to the degree that is [an] effective allocator of resources to create business services that are of a greater value than the costs of the inputs,” Musk said.

This thing they call “profit,” Musk added, “should just mean over time that the value of the output is worth more than the inputs.”

Musk said the biggest mistake he has made as a leader of both Tesla and SpaceX was spending too much time in meetings looking at PowerPoints and spreadsheets, instead of being out on the factory floor.

“When I go spend time on the factory floor or really using the cars or thinking about the rockets…that’s where things have gone better,” Musk said at the WSJ summit.

He finds that if he is engrossed in the details of the issues, it boosts morale and his team is “more energized.”

Musk urged CEOs to “get out there on the goddamn front line and show them that you care, and that you’re not just in some plush office somewhere.”

Musk recently became the second richest person in the world as Tesla’s stock price and market cap have grown over the last several months. He is currently worth an estimated $157 billion, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index.

So the BBC has moved to texas actually I mean a boy from the billionaire boys club — Elon musk has moved to texas personally. Maintaining major work in California. “If a team has been winning for too long, they do tend to get a little complacent, a little entitled, and then they don’t win the championship anymore. California has been winning for too long,” Musk said at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council summit, repeating an analogy he has used many times before to express his displeasure with California’s regulatory environment.

The Bill Gates — Elon Musk Feud. The Microsoft founder has become the…
By: Elad Simchayoff
Tags: Bill Gates, Billionaires, Tech, Business, Elon Musk

The dispute dates back to February 2020. In an interview with tech Youtuber Marques Brownlee, Gates was asked about electric cars, and while acknowledging Tesla’s major part in moving passenger’s cars towards the electric age, Gates revealed that he personally had recently bought a Porsche Taycan. “It’s very very cool. That’s my first electric car and I’m enjoying it a lot”, Gates said.

Musk didn’t take kindly to hearing his fellow billionaire’s remarks. 4 days after the Gates interview, Twitter user ‘Tesletter’ twitted about his own disappointment from Gates. Musk then replied and took the feud a step further.

The rivalry became even more fierce a few months later, at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Musk had several highly controversial statements: In March, he tweeted that “the panic will cause more harm than the virus”. In April, he criticized lockdown measures calling them “fascist” and describing it as “forcibly imprisoning people in their home.” He advocated for the use of Hydroxychloroquine. He said that there will be “close to zero new cases in the US by end of April [2020]”. These are just a few examples. Musk wasn’t shy about his thoughts of the pandemic.

This time, it was Gates's turn to go on the offense. In an interview for CNBC, the Microsoft founder said: “Elon’s positioning is to maintain a high level of outrageous comments. He’s not much involved in vaccines. He makes a great electric car. And his rockets work well. So he’s allowed to say these things. I hope that he doesn’t confuse areas he’s not involved in too much.”

The comeback soon followed. First, on Twitter. A user tweeted the Gates interview quote and tagged Musk. Musk replied:

It didn’t end there. In an interview for the New York Times podcast “Sway”, Musk was asked about his reaction to the pandemic and said: “Tesla makes the vaccine machines for CureVac. Gates said something about me not knowing what I was doing. It’s like, hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac that company you’re invested in.”

Yep, he called Bill Gates a knucklehead.

The feud kept growing. In August, Gates wrote a blog post questioning whether an electric future is viable for all kinds of transportation: “Even with big breakthroughs in battery technology, electric vehicles will probably never be a practical solution for things like 18-wheelers, cargo ships, and passenger jets.”

Musk’s reaction was very short.

Following the long line of mutual verbal stingers, one might see Gates’s remarks about the difference between Musk and Steve Jobs as another swing at the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire. “You wouldn’t walk into a room and confuse them with each other,” answered Gates when asked whether the two were alike.

It is also wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that Gates didn’t very much like the fact that Musk had, a few days ago, overtook him as the second richest man in the world. Musk must have been over the moon.
What is the SpaceX- Starship Mission? What is the SpaceX Mars Architecture?
Tags: NASA, Starship, Mars, Spacex, Elon Musk

SERVICE TO EARTH ORBIT, MOON, MARS AND BEYOND- that’s what SpaceX describes Starship mission. So if you are a space travel lover this is the right place you have come.

WHAT IS STARSHIP?

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket is a fully reusable two-stage-to-orbit transport system made for both cargo and passenger.

Super heavy — the most powerful launch vehicle ever developed to take an excess of 100 metric tonnes to Earth orbit will be used This mission will have two components a booster Super Heavy and the Starship for orbital missions. Starship will serve as both the second stage and a long duration orbital spaceship.

The whole vehicle will have a height of 120m with a diameter of 9m and a payload weight of 100+ tonnes. Raptor Engine will be used which will work on methalox fuel.

History

It all started in 2001 when Elon Musk gave the “Mars Oasis” project whose objective is to land a miniature experimental greenhouse. That contains seeds with dehydrated gel on Mars to grow plants on Martian soil.

In 2007 Elon Musk stated a personal goal of the settling of human civilization on Mars. The company was expecting its first colony on Mars till mid-2020 in 2014. But due to some issues, the first humans on Mars will be no earlier than 2025.

OVERVIEW- Starship

Here is the SpaceX Mars Architecture -

1) Reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle. — This will provide a long duration to the spacecraft able to carry cargo, passengers, and propellent cargo.

2) Refiling of propellants in orbit. — For long journey spacecraft as it will expend all its propellant during the launch to low Earth orbit. It is very important to refuel so that spacecraft has sufficient energy to set itself into the interplanetary trajectory.

3) Propellant production on Mars — To enable a return trip to Earth and make the spacecraft reusable the tanks will be filled remotely.

4) Propellant Selection — Methane/Oxygen known as deep cryo methalox was selected as the fuel as it is considered better than other fuels and it will easy to produce it on Mars.

“You want to wake up in the morning and think the future is going to be great — and that’s what being a spacefaring civilization is all about. It’s about believing in the future and thinking that the future will be better than in the past. And I can’t think of anything more exciting than going out there and being among the stars.” — Elon Musk.

We are eagerly waiting for this man’s ambition to come true as its success will take human civilization to the next level.

Ground Control to Major Elon

Ground Control to Major Elon

A Bowie-inspired mannequin circles the sun in a rocket-mounted Tesla. Photo by SpaceX.

‘The longer I live,” wrote George Bernard Shaw, “the more I am inclined to believe that this earth is used by other planets as a lunatic asylum.”

And now, more than a century later, Elon Musk is aiming to return the favor.

Yesterday, the billionaire eccentric’s SpaceX program launched its 100th Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, another step in Musk’s mission to send one million people on commercial flights to Mars by the year 2050.

Meanwhile, “Starman,” the Bowie-inspired mannequin that’s strapped into a rocket-mounted Tesla Roadster, is celebrating its two-year anniversary by continuing to orbit the sun while listening to the song “Space Oddity” on infinite repeat.

Musk’s mission is to send one million people on commercial flights to Mars by the year 2050.

Bowie, who was even better at branding than Musk, released “Space Oddity” in 1969, one year after Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, and one week before the first man set foot on the moon.

The song introduces Bowie’s character Major Tom, an astronaut who’s losing contact with ground control as his capsule drifts aimlessly into deep space:

“Though I’ve passed one hundred thousand miles

I’m feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell my wife I love her very much

She knows.”

New Muse Blues

Thanks for nothing

Mr. Elon Musk

I know that my muse

caught a ride

on your SpaceX stick craft

to freaking Mars

Mars?

What a waste of time

and space

Humans need blue

not fucking red

We have enough of it

in our hearts

and our thinning veins

Where’s the sharp knife

this one is too blunt

There was an accident

on the trip to Mars

as I always suspected would occur

in such a witless outing

Two astronauts survived

they are stuck in a fast-moving

coffin that looks like a bullet

But my muse

my life

is lost in space

Moving to Mars

That’s it, I’m afraid

My muse is leaving the Moon

She’s moving to Mars

She wants to live on red

Like the red in her heart

Why did she go to the Moon?

It was the closest to Earth

Now, however, she’ll be

further away

I’ll need to speak to Tesla

I mean Elon Musk

Hello, Elon, my man

I mean, Mr. Musk

Can you spare a ride to Mars?

It’s about a girl

A real woman, I swear

She’s blue like my soul

But she loves red

She is my muse

Do you understand?

Mars it too far for her love

and her words

When I type, “I love”

The “you” will take a while

to arrive to my brain

and the screen in front

I’m moving to Mars

but I’m taking everything

blue that I have

Ellon Musk revealed SpaceX’s starship will carry Humans to the Martian surface as soon as 2026

Ellon Musk

Most of us are aware of SpaceX these days, and its Mission to land on Mars with humans on board That itself is good news for people who wish to go out of the Earth for a tour on Mars, as Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, stated that he is “highly Confident” that SpaceX would land humans on Mars by 2026. According to him, this is one of his ambitious plans to enact a settlement on the planet within next two decades.

He revealed these facts at an event show in Berlin last Tuesday (1st December 2020). Musk said that a crewed flight to Mars would be a practical opportunity “about six years from now”. The Earth and Mars align approximately every two years, as of now plans in passage to send an uncrewed ship at the upcoming opportunity in 2022. Further, Musk expressed that there was a still small prospect that crewed ship could conquer his 2026 objective, stating that “if we get lucky, maybe we will launch one in four years”.

Starship Prototype

The opinions come as the firm is ready to fire the “first altitude test flight” of its starship blueprint, the ship that will finally be operated on Mars expedition in the near future. SpaceX planned to carry freight and passengers up to 100 in this starship and it is made to be entirely reusable, setting up a vision of Mars travel like a mercantile ship other than a NASA launch.

The new rocket has seen a variety of setbacks in its blooming process, Musk originally saying it could set foot on orbit and even carry travelers by 2020. Elon Musk has since degree down the timeline, admitting that the starship would have to hover various missions before it is confirmed to be secure enough to transport travelers. Last month SpaceX Crew Dragon starship was validated to hover with crew for missions, soon before it transported four astronauts on the novelty mercantile crewed ship to the International Space Station.

Elan Musk, the world’s second richest man, has formerly announced that he wanted to “die on mars”, and proffered another update on his private space travel objectives on Tuesday. Further, Musk mentioned he was trying to achieve his first voyage to space in “two or three years” and however he accentuated that he was concerned on the bigger picture. During his speech at the awards show, he stated that his main goal was: “for a lot of people to go to Mars and make life interplanetary, and to have a base on the moon”.

Martian Surface

Musk Back in 2016 drafted his scope for the first time during the international Astronauts Congress where he informed fellow industry specialists that SpaceX has been working for a period of 10-years on a project to alight on Mars. For now, SpaceX’s top priority is launching the test starship to 50,000ft (15,000km) for the first time on Friday, December 4th 2020.
The One Thing Most of us Miss with Musk’s Use of First Principles
By: Darren Matthews
Tags: Critical Thinking, Decision Making, Leadership, Thinking, Elon Musk

We use first principles to solve problems. Getting to the granular level of a problem, reveals the fault.

The story of Elon Musk of wanting to reach space is legendary. Faced with a huge cost, he asks why? By deconstructing a rocket down to the materials, he discovers it isn’t rocket science to build one himself.

He then started Space X, and reduced NASA’s rocket costs by 90% in the process.

For many, the lesson ends there.

We miss the not-so-secret sauce. What makes us different to Musk is we think of reasoning from first principles as a process with a decision at the end. With Musk, first principles thinking form’s the foundation of his brain software.

It is the way he thinks.

Crucially, he is forming hypothesis’s and testing them — everywhere. It forms the building blocks of his wants, his — and others — ability to deliver them, and his goals and strategy to deliver them.

Musk is living in a continuous feedback loop.

The rest of us make some decisions and live out our lives accordingly. It’s as if we’ve walked into a puddle of quick-drying cement.

Life is a process of trial and error. You form an idea — you test it — and you learn from the outcome, revaluate and test again. With success, you can push the boundaries to make further improvements.

It is this continuous process we miss with Musk’s use of first principles.
Why Elon Musk’s Love for Video Games Shouldn’t Surprise You
By: Max Phillips
Tags: Lifestyle, Videogames, Entrepreneurship, Business, Elon Musk

Curiosity turns into a desire to improve

With Space X and Tesla, it’s clear that Musk’s ambitions are, quite literally, sky-high. At the core of that desire to improve the way we live, lies his passion for video games.

Tesla modeled its pickup truck off the hotly anticipated Cyperpunk game (one I am very much looking forward to). At E3, he announced the addition of video games to his cars and potentially including them in the Mars shuttles.

As his passion for video games naturally led him into programming, he loves what he does. Which, he says, is a necessity:

“My experience is, if you’re trying to figure out what others love, but you don’t love it, it’s really hard to make that great. So when you work on something, if you fall in love with it, that’s a good sign — and then don’t worry about if others do. If you do, others will.”

The key takeaway: “If you do, others will.”

It’s a simple outlook, but one every entrepreneur, young and old, should adhere to. If you have an idea you love and are passionate about, then chances are someone else will share that feeling.

When you fall in love with something, you want to learn more about it. It’s the same rules for dating and startups. Give into something you love. Learn more about it and see if you can improve it. The more you lean into hobbies, the quicker they become habits.
Elon Musk’s Secret Recipe

Elon Musk, June 28th, 1971, Pretoria, South Africa.

An inspired and pragmatic man, one of the heroes of the 21st century.

How did he become the man he is?

We have leafed through his secret book, and we’ll reveal some of his tricks.

Be curious

While still a child, he became interested in computer science.

At the age of 10 he developed his first Basic program.

At 12, he sold his first electronic game, Blastar.

Expand your horizons …

After school, he won a Stanford scholarship, but chose to go to San Francisco, in the rising Silicon Valley.

He was there at the dawn of the world wide web, the Aurora of the internet ;-)

… and surf on the threshold of innovation

This seems like a constant in Elon’s life.

He created the first web business directory, Global Link Information Network, startup then bought by Compaq. Before his solution there were only paper ones.

In 1999 he co-founded X.com, which soon became Paypal. Have you ever heard this name around?

In 2003 he founded Tesla Motors, the electric car revolution.

Provide journalists with memorable quotes

“I’ll put a man on Mars in 10 years”

It is from these words, from this conviction, that SpaceX, a spacecraft company, was born in 2002 and then the first recyclable space rocket, the Falcon 9.

Build a world as fast as your thoughts

Smart infrastructures for an efficient world:

- Gigafactory in Nevada, the production site of Tesla lithium batteries for cars and storage systems

- Solarcity, the first Tesla brand photovoltaic panel factory

- Hyperloop, 1200 km/h supersonic train

Dream big for everyone

On February 6th, 2018, the Falcon Heavy — the most powerful rocket ever built, again by Elon — took off from Cape Canaveral.

In 2019 the first news on Neuralink: an implant that connects human brains with computer interfaces via artificial intelligence. The “merge” of man and machine thanks to electrode threads.

Give newsworthy material to newspapers

He believes aliens built the pyramids.

The controversial name of his last son, X Æ A-XII, is the acronym of “X”, unknown variable, “Æ” meaning AI in elven and “A-12”, precursor of SR-17, a very fast battle plane.

The Crew Dragon is fitted with 16 orbiting Draco thrusters to steer the ship. The capsule has a launch escape system (LES) consisting of eight SuperDraco engines that each generate 16,000 pounds of force if something goes wrong during lift-off. The LES separates Crew Dragon easily from its rocket.

The spacesuits worn by astronauts are one of the major talking points of the Crew Dragon. Sleek, tailored outfits contrast with previous designs. Their main objective, however, remains the same as guarding crew members from depressurization where the capsule loses air.

After the completion of the space shuttle program in 2011, NASA has relied on the Russian Space Program to send its astronauts to the space station. In order to send their astronauts to the ISS in 2019, NASA paid more than 80 million USD per seat of Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft. SpaceX successfully deployed its “Crew Dragon” spacecraft to the ISS without a crew in 2019.

Elon Musk says human spaceflight has always been a fundamental aim for his groundbreaking venture, SpaceX. The entrepreneur fulfilled that goal on Saturday, 30th May 2020, when the Crew Dragon spacecraft took two NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken into orbit for a space station or an ISS rendezvous. Since the retirement of the shuttle in 2011, it has become the first crewed spacecraft to fly from US soil. Shortly thereafter, the second crewed mission started on 15th November 2020.

Elon Musk has long spoken that in 2002 he founded SpaceX specifically to help mankind colonize Mars and that the company is already developing and testing Starship prototypes, a vehicle built to make this possible. Now it’s gonna be really exciting to see SpaceX accomplish this soon!
Elon Musk becomes world’s second richest person
By: Manvi Manhar
Tags: Industry, Leadership, Business, Elon Musk, Economy

Mr Musk's net worth jumped by $7.2bn (£5.4bn) to $128bn after shares in his car firm Tesla surged.

Only Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is richer, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index

It comes after news Tesla shares will be added to the S&P 500, one of the main share indexes in the US.

That triggered a fresh wave of buying of the electric carmaker's shares, sending the company's market value above $500bn and boosting the value of Mr Musk's holding in the business.

Tesla is already the most valuable car firm in the world, despite producing a fraction of the vehicles of rivals such as Toyota, VW and General Motors.

On Tuesday, in a speech in Germany, Mr Musk said it could "make sense" for Tesla to expand in Europe by entering the mass-market segment with a small car.

"In the US, the cars tend to be bigger for personal taste reasons," he said. "In Europe, (they) tend to be smaller."

And after years of losses, Tesla has seen five consecutive quarters of profit as sales of its cars perform well despite the pandemic.

The California-based firm will be the biggest new entrant on the S&P 500, with a market value of more than $500bn.

It means investment funds tracking the index will automatically hold its stock and benefit from gains in its share price - news that has excited investors.

Another Tesla Record
By: Claudia Joseph
Tags: Trading, Tesla, Stocks, Elon Musk, Stock Market

The capitalization of Tesla (TSLA), a leading company in the electric car sector, exceeded $500 billion for the first time.

This is a milestone that has long seemed within reach of the company, whose shares have gone — in the space of eight months — from a value of 107 dollars to that recorded yesterday of 555.4 dollars, for a positive percentage change of 419%.

Tesla continues to dominate

Tesla is undoubtedly a young seedling in a sector — such as the automotive one. Still, its nature as a “first mover” in the sector’s electricity branch has allowed it to record growth at a record rate.

From the close of the stock market on Friday to the session on Tuesday, the company’s shares jumped 13.6%, with the share capitalization that has now crossed the threshold of 500 billion euros (526.4, to be exact).

This is a value that allows Tesla to overcome the aggregate market capitalization of some of the world’s leading automotive companies such as Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford, FCA, and the PSA Group.

With the debut on the S&P 500 index at the gates — a sort of coronation for the young Californian company — Tesla is preparing to greet a year that has profoundly revolutionized the company’s prospects and, more generally, those of the electricity sector. An ascent that has inevitably also filled the pockets of Elon Musk, now — as certified by Bloomberg — in second place in the ranking of the world’s billionaires.
Elon Musk Becomes the Second Richest Man in the World
By: Rajitha Jayawardena
Tags: Elon Musk

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Elon Musk is the second richest man in the world with a net worth of $ 128 billion. Previously, Bill Gates (the owner of Microsoft) was in second place. Followed by Jeff Bezos (the owner of Amazon) and Elon Musk is now the world’s second largest billionaire.

Last week, Musk overtook Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg when on the Billionaires Index, he became the third-richest person. After he was overtaken by French businessman Bernard Arnault, Zuckerberg has since fallen to fifth in the rankings.

Image source — Bloomberg Billionaires Index

The highlight of this news is that Elon Musk was ranked 35th on the list in January this year, and even before the end of this year, he managed to get close to the top of the ladder.

Musk is Tesla’s chief executive officer, an electric vehicle manufacturer. The company, based in Palo Alto, California, sells sedans, sports utility vehicles, and is the largest automotive employer in the state. He is also the CEO of Space Exploration Technology, a NASA-tapped rocket manufacturer that supplies the space station.

The main reason for this is the sharp rise in Tesla’s share price, with Tesla’s total value now exceeding US $500 billion, up from $100 billion at the beginning of the year. Tesla currently has more value than any other car company in the world, and it is estimated that they will be able to produce about 500,000 Tesla cars within this year.

Bill Gates was the world’s first billionaire for many years until 2017, when in 2017 Amazon owner Jeff Bezos overtook him. However, the Bloomberg website points out that Bill Gates would still be the world’s first billionaire if he had not set up the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a charity since 2006, and made donations through it.

Elon Musk Passes Bill Gates To Become World’s 2nd-Richest Person

By George

Tesla’s skyrocketing share prices have made Elon Musk the world’s second-richest person, with a net worth of nearly $128 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Musk edged past Bill Gates on Tuesday. Only Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is worth more.

Bloomberg reported that the Tesla CEO has added more than $100 billion to his net worth in 2020, propelling him from the 35th spot on the index up to No. 2.

Most of Musk’s wealth is tied up in Tesla stock. Instead of drawing a salary, he has been compensated in stock based on the company’s performance – a decision that has paid off handsomely for him so far. Tesla stock has repeatedly defied skeptics and pushed to stratospheric heights.

So far, Musk has received four of the 12 bonuses negotiated in his executive compensation package.

After some production challenges, Tesla has massively scaled up its output of electric cars, which have proved popular – the Model 3 is the bestselling luxury car in America. And Wall Street is feeling optimistic about the future of electric vehicles and clean energy as companies and governments around the world propose increasingly meaningful actions to tackle climate change.

Tesla stock also received a bump from the news that the S&P 500 would be adding the company to its influential index. And the stock market as a whole is surging on Tuesday – with the Dow Jones Industrial Index topping 30,000 points for the first time – as vaccine hopes and signs that President Trump will comply with the results of the presidential election both raise expectations for 2021.

Musk recently announced on Twitter he had a mild case of COVID-19, which was inconclusively indicated through rapid tests and confirmed through more reliable PCR tests.

The electric vehicle market has had lots of attention this year after the success of Tesla. Also, news of California's mandate to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2035 has enforced the relevance of electric vehicles. Although Tesla has been a leader in the sector we have also seen lesser-known companies like Workhorse and Nio begin to gain some traction. However, electric vehicle companies aren’t the only stocks benefiting. Companies like Blink Charging which produces electric vehicle charging stations may also have great potential.

The cannabis sector was soaring in 2018 but has drastically fallen since its highs. However, cannabis stocks have begun to wake up after Joe Biden won the election. If Biden follows through with his plans to decriminalize cannabis and more states begin to legalize we could expect a huge run-up on cannabis stocks.

Elon Musk has added $100.3 Billion to his Net Worth and Overtaken Bill Gates to Become World’s Second-Richest Person

How do rich people feel when they have so many billions of dollars? Well, only the rich can answer this question. Bill Gates has been stationed at second position for some time as the world’s richest person just after Jeff Bezos who has been a top seed all throughout the year, 2020.

Elon Musk, a potential Martian in the future has recently added a neat $100.3 billion to his total net worth and has dethroned Bill Gates as the world’s second-richest person.

Musk’s total net worth reached $127.9 billion on Monday after an increase of $7.24 billion, Bloomberg Billionaires Index reports. The wealth rise is largely orchestrated by a surge in Tesla’s share price.

I would have felt like a king if I had only a million dollars! - taslima nasreen (@taslimanasreen) November 24, 2020

At the beginning of 2020, Musk ranked at 35th on Bloomberg Billionaires Index. It’s a ranking website of the world’s 500 richest people. Since January, Elon Musk has added $100 billion to his net worth making it by far the highest on the index.

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has added $100.3 billion to his net worth this year, surpassing Bill Gates to become the world’s second-richest person. The 49-year-old Tesla Inc. co-founder has the electric vehicle and clean energy company to thank for the staggering increase in his wealth. About three-quarters of his net worth is comprised of Tesla shares, which are valued more than four times as much as his stake in Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX.

As Tesla’s market value approached $500 billion, Elon Musk had a one-word reaction that was ‘liked’ over 16,000 times on the microblogging platform Twitter.

“Wow,” he wrote in response to a tweet about a surge in Tesla’s share price.

While Mr Musk may have responded with only a monosyllabic “wow”, his fans flooded social media with memes as news of him overtaking Bill Gates as the world’s second richest person spread. Mr Musk’s milestone is only the second time in the index’s eight-year history that Bill Gates has ranked lower than number two.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been the world’s richest man since 2017, when he bumped Bill Gates from the top spot.

Elon Musk and Bill Gates have engaged in occasional verbal spats in the past. The Tesla chief executive once described his conversations with Bill Gates as “pretty underwhelming”. The Microsoft co-founder had later slammed Mr Musk for his comments on the coronavirus pandemic.

Satellite Imagery comes to rescue!
By: Avantika Shukla
Tags: Remote Sensing, Wildlife, Earth, Seal, Environment

Owing to its oil-rich blubber, the Northern Elephant Seal became a prime target for commercial hunters. Northern Elephant Seals had been hunted to the verge of extinction by 1860. However, in 1910, it was discovered that a small group consisting of fewer than 100 seals remained on Guadalupe Island off Baja California, Mexico. When it was known that some elephant seals still survived, Mexico granted the species official safeguarding in 1922. Being secured, that handful of pinnipeds bred like mad. Today, every single one of the 150,000 (a number likely close to their historic population) living northern elephant seals on planet Earth are that once-small group’s scions.

But the researchers were not just interested in the seals. They also sought to bespeak the swiftly progressing potential of satellites to count and surveil wildlife populations and to answer big questions about the natural world. Despite this, researchers have still been slow in incorporating the luxury that Satellite Imagery is, probably, because of acute awareness in the field. But the rapidly growing plethora and worldliness of satellite imagery and remote sensing data has surely changed that. For instance, a start-up company called Planet deployed 88 bread loaf-sized satellites from an Indian Space Research Organization rocket. They are now part of a 149-satellite constellation keeping track of every point on Earth. The focus is on several applications including rapid discernment of deforestation, illegal mining, accurate counting of wildlife populations, or how many cars are parked in the Walmart today.

A few days ago, a friend asked me about the epiphany of this to which I replied “We have tags on live animals!”. He goes “Oh so we can check in every day on where a particular animal is traveling?” To which I want to answer to anyone reading this “YES and we can check in everyday on where a Northern Elephant Seal is traveling!”

Using cougar tooth data to understand the cougar age structure on the landscape
By: The Washington Department Of Fish
Tags: Biology, Cougars, Washington, Wildlife

It may be interesting to guess the age of the cougar you harvest based on the size and sex. It might be a kitten, sub-adult — less than two-years-old — or an adult. But, you (and we) can’t be sure about an animal’s age without closer inspection and tooth data.

Washington hunters are required to bring harvested cougars to WDFW for inspection and sealing. Sealing is a process where we put a tag in the pelt to show that the cougar was harvested legally.

The first part of our inspection is to determine if the animal is male or female. One good indicator is if there is a black spot on their back-end. If so, it’s almost certainly a male. If the animal is a juvenile and has not sexually matured, this may not be as obvious as you’d think.

In addition to identifying sex, we also try to determine their age by looking at their teeth,

Teeth can tell you a lot about age. Kittens replace their canine teeth at a specific age. And, once adult teeth are in, they continue to grow. The size of their teeth, or, more accurately, the amount that protrudes from the gums, can help us differentiate adults from sub-adults.

This process is called “field aging” because it’s a process that uses averages, it’s generally — but not always — accurate. Factors that can cause a biologist to misidentify the age of a cougar can be due to experience, the condition of the animal being inspected, and how long it has been since the animal was killed.

The condition of the gums is probably the biggest factor, and can be altered by freezing and thawing, which can occur if a hunter has frozen the hide and skull before bringing it for inspection.

Although field aging provides enough accuracy for us to manage cougar harvest guidelines and hunting closures, we can measure our accuracy assumptions by confirming the actual ages of harvested animals. That’s why we require a tooth from your cougar harvest. We send that tooth to an independent lab which uses a highly accurate aging method called cementum analysis.
Preventing the Next Pandemic: The Role of Animal Agriculture and Destruction of Nature

IPBES Workshop on Biodiversity and Pandemics

Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)

2020

Summary by PlantBasedData.org

IPBES is one of the foremost institutions regarding environmental science and biodiversity with a mission to:

Track biodiversity on the Earth as impacted by human activities, as well as consequences to human society.

Educate people and make recommendations to preserve biodiversity and related human welfare.

This report is a comprehensive summary of the scientific literature regarding the development of past zoonotic pandemics, and risk of future zoonotic pandemics due to human activities. It frankly recognizes that humans are destroying and taking over the natural environment, resulting in viruses than are stable within their wild animal host populations, being transmitted to human controlled animals. They become a bio-generator of virus and pathogen mutations, spread of the pathogens, and eventual transmission to humans. As we breed or capture more animals, and erode nature, we will likely cause worse pandemics. The global poor will likely be most affected. As such we must reverse our destruction of natural environments and also reduce meat consumption from livestock and wild wild animals.

“Pacific black brant diet consists of mostly eelgrass,” said Pat Fitzmorris, former refuge biologist. “You don’t see eelgrass beds like this anywhere else in the world, which is why this lagoon is critically important for their overall survival.

“When they get here in the fall, they’re pretty skinny from breeding migration. The plant is so nutritious for their body composition that 1/3 of their body weight is increased just by the fat content alone from the plant. Sometimes the sky is just black with birds, it’s amazing to see.”
This Gorgeous Image of a Tiger Hugging a Tree Is the Wildlife Photograph of the Year
By: Jack Shepherd
Tags: Nature, Animals, Outdoors, Photography, Wildlife

Amidst the magical surroundings of a forest in the Russian far east, an extremely rare Amul tigress ecstatically embraces a Manchurian fir tree, marking it with her scent to communicate with others of her kind. It took photographer Sergey Gershkov 10 months of waiting to catch a glimpse of this solitary creature, but his dedication was rewarded with a once-in-a-lifetime shot. This year’s winner of the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, “The Embrace” is a remarkable portrait of a rare and beautiful animal in her natural environment. “It’s a scene like no other,” says Rosamund Kidman Cox, chair of the judging panel that selected Gershkov’s photo out of more than 49,000 entries from around the world:

A unique glimpse of an intimate moment deep in a magical forest. Shafts of low winter sun highlight the ancient fir tree and the coat of the huge tigress as she grips the trunk in obvious ecstasy and inhales the scent of tiger on resin, leaving her own mark as her message. It’s also a story told in glorious colour and texture of the comeback of the Amur tiger, a symbol of the Russian wilderness.

Winners in other categories of the competition demonstrate why Wildlife Photographer of the Year is considered one of the world’s most prestigious photography awards. As the following selection demonstrates, each portrait is a striking insight into the fascinating creatures we share our planet with.

Raising a baby of any species is not easy but the love you get back is the most rewarding in the world.

If you take care of a baby animal they grow up thinking you are their mom these innocent creatures are only accustomed to the love and care they have seen under you.

This also becomes dangerous for them in the outer world when they face predators. I share one such story of my dad's beloved pet squirrel.
