Tesla has been producing electric cars since 2003. When Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning founded the company, they had spent several years working on electrical vehicle science and hoped to one day change the world and create affordable electrical vehicles. When Tesla first registered in California, Elon Musk was not attached to the company, and instead was toying around with the idea of building spaceships to send humans into outer space, most specifically the oxygen deprived, highly radiated rock planet of Mars. Eberhard, Tarpenning, and Musk met at a Mars exploration club in the early aughts. Musk had no experience in advanced mechanical engineering. Most of his income and experience came from software programming, which was essentially the code writing that helped him hit it big with one of his initial projects—Paypal, the online payment system. When developing what would go on to become SpaceX, Musk’s first adventure in the aeronautics industry was a failed attempt at buying cheap Russian rockets to bring back to America (quite possibly an illegal operation based on U.S. government restrictions on foreign nationals buying and importing Russian space technology). Now, about two decades later, Musk can topple entire currencies with several taps on his smart phone.

Zuckerberg's Most Wicked Tech Yet
Snoop Dogg spent $630,000 on a digital home in the metaverse. I repeat, Snoop Dogg spent over HALF A MILLION DOLLARS on a non-physical asset in an intangible augmented reality. Among thousands of other early adopters of the Metaverse, Snoop Dogg is not the only individual to have dropped an insane amount of money on a computerized pad. In fact, thousands of investors are paying millions for virtual land in the metaverse because they consider it the next massive trend in real estate. Massive shifts in social media, gaming, investing, online dating, work-life balance, culture, and how we view the physical world as a whole are all key examples of what is approaching with the debut of the Metaverse.
