Global telecommunications. Electric vehicles. Space transport, cargo, and exploration. Terraforming. High-speed public transport. Energy storage. Solar panels. Social media. Advanced machine learning. Machine-brain interfaces.

Over the last 10 years, SNS member Elon Musk has fundamentally transformed nearly a dozen major industries. In the process, he has become one of the world's most polarizing and most powerful public figures.

And, unlike those of other tech billionaires (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos), his creations are not all - or even primarily - bundled into a single corporate entity.

Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft are all tech behemoths with a wide range of products living primarily under a single corporate roof.

Tesla. SpaceX. Neuralink. The Boring Company. xAI. Twitter/X.  

Seven very distinct entities, each individually wrapped in the paper of corporate America, each significant in its own right. This distributed structure makes Elon's influence and fortune much less vulnerable to governmental oversight - particularly the slings and arrows of the FTC.

Whether you love him or hate him, or don't think about him much at all, whatever Elon Musk does in the next 10 years will have a very real impact on the shape of life on Earth and beyond.

So, what will the next 10 years look like for Elon Musk?

To answer that, we need to understand the many factors that shape his personality.
