Why Tesla? Wy Elon (Patreon)

This short para says it all. 

Peter Thiel's words - "understands something about risk that everybody else doesn't", and how he's able to create companies that seemed impossible to everyone else.

1. Elon Musk's risk-taking approach in business is based on the understanding that the only constraints are the laws of physics, a principle known as the Principal of Optimism.
2. The Principal of Optimism is significant because it allows individuals to view difficult problems as solvable with sufficient knowledge, and knowledge is created through trial and error.
3. This philosophy has been demonstrated in the success of SpaceX, which has overcome challenges through trial and error and the belief that the only limitations are those imposed by the laws of physics.
