Inner debate I find myself experiencing daily…. Who is cooler, Elon Musk or Sir Richard Branson? Who would you rather be for a week? Here are some facts:

Elon Musk:

Musk was born in South Africa, then came to America where he graduated from UPenn. 

Then he moved on to Stanford, where he dropped out in two days and launched ZIP2, which he later sold to Compaq for a cool $307 Mil.

He launched Paypal, later selling it for $1.5 billion at age 28. 

Elon woke up one day and founded SpaceX

He needed a new car and founded Tesla

He is actively trying to facilitate the Hyperloop System

He wants to put people on mars

He bought and rebuilt James Bond’s submarine car

The man is a philanthropist

He’s happily divorced (twice)

He was the inspiration for Iron Man. 

Sir Richard Branson: 

Was Knighted by the Queen of England in 1999

His first venture was starting the magazine “Student” at age 16

He started many successful ventures, most notably the Virgin Group including Virgin Mobile, Virgin Galactic, Virgin Islands and Virgin Air

He’s a risk taker and adventurer in business and life

He’s a fan of cameos

He overcame dyslexia, among other LD’s

He’s the 5th wealthiest man in England

He is avid about philanthropy and humanitarian issues

He’s happily married

So…. Elon Musk or Richard Branson?
