I feel like the story of Elon Musk’s life so far is a real representation of the American Dream. He came from a poor, abusive family in South Africa and when he was 17, immigrated to Canada with his brother to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. A year later, he moved to the USA and went to school. After he finished it, he decided to work for himself. He founded X.com, which became PayPal. After selling it, he gained 180million. Most people would then retire for the rest of their lives, but not him. He put 10m into his company Solar City, 70m into Tesla, and 100m in SpaceX. Now, all three companies are alive and successful with 2 being the biggest companies in the world. Along the way, he founded a half-dozen more companies and became (as of last week) the second richest person in the world. He really shows what can be done with hard work and determination.

They have schools where you are taught what you want to learn

For like kids n stuff

This man is a legend

Yes, he is.

He truly is.

He really is.

And when he invested his 180m into those companies, he was left with so little money that he was relying on friends to help him pay for his food (obviously, he paid them back)

A true American story Elon musk is more Americans than half of America

I’ve done Wernher von Braun’s redemption

I’ve done Elon Musk’s rags to riches

What’s next?

Oh idk

2nd richest in the world huh, that comes with baggage that us normal/poor people don't know anything about.

Better than Jeff Bezos and his shitty Amazon

Yeah

Anybody got some cool ww2 facts or info?

Tigers actual max Speed was 34-44 Km/h and not 20km/h

Huh nice

The reason the 20km/h speed was a thing was because of Damaged transmissions since the Panzer 4 transmission was overstressed with the 40+ tons of steel

it was worse on Panthers and King Tigers, but those were much more powerful tanks with higher tonnage

If Germany kept producing the Panzer V Panther over any other tanks with a better transmission, the war would've been much more different

Huh germans really messed up on a lot of things

Even with that said, Germany had a lot of Geographical challenges

It was surrounded by all sides and had poor Oil reserves

It was a war that if they were going to win, had to be won by 1942

they failed and paid the price

Yeah and they were partnered with the worst teammate Italy

Italy after WW1 had no Factories or craftmanship

at best they had a decent navy

All Italy had was pasta and Mario

and Competent Airforce

Yeah Germany had a really good chance

But Ground forces?, Fugget about it *italian accent*

Screeches in pasta

Best Guns (with the Exception of the Modelo 26 LMG) and no tanks to speak of with only Armored cars and wheeled TD's

From what I heard Germany could have defeated Britian if they kept bombing the airports

They air bases I meant

Britain was moved underground, so it was very difficult

I know their airplanes were on a low number than Britian bombed the head quarters of germany

Only the Spitfires were low number at the time, but they had Ample Hurricanes numbers
