what i would write to Elon Musk


Dear Mr. Musk,                                                                                                                                                

Greetings from India. My name is Raghav Agrawal and I am 12 years old. I am a huge fan of your work and admire every bit of it. From PayPal to Zip2 to Spacex, I am a fan and wonder where you get your ideas from. I have read most of your biography which is by Ashlee Vance and it made me fascinate you even more. My uncle used to tell me about you as he is a very avid reader.

You are taking big risks which one reason I think some people admire you even more. I read that one Christmas you were about to get bankrupt but how you never lost hope and still paid your workers which  was fantabulous. I have visited  the US once two years back. I was in Denver with my aunt and uncle. They found out a place in a mall where I actually got to see one of your cars. It was the 7 seater car.

I love how you think about renewable energy and how all of your companies are so eco-friendly. I love SpaceX because I am following space a lot. I wish that you are able to finish your project of taking people into space just for visiting. I admire how you are trying to get the space tanks of rocket ships back because that will save a lot of money and resources. I just hope that one day it will be accomplished.

Solar city is also quite interesting to hear about. I think the US is quite a good place to set up because it has got space, it has got resources and it also has money and the latest technology.

Our country, India has a population of around 1.1 billion and 30% of the country is below the poverty line of 75 cents(USD)a day. Electricity produced in India is 75% fossil fuel and 17% hydro electricity. So now I think you should turning your head toward the little underdeveloped countries who need help and are trying to put up with their daily needs but trying to save the environment at the same time. So if you could get Tesla or Solar city into India then I think that the world could be a better place.

Yours Sincerely ,

Raghav Agrawal

Elon Musk


Elon Musk has ideas of the past and he combines them with the ideas of the future. He thinks out of the box and makes new things. He focuses and uses it in his work, never letting the spirit down. He is making projects to save energy and conserve natural resources. He uses lots of solar energy to make cars and farms conserve energy. He is the founder of the car brand Tesla which has a chassis full of 7000 AA batteries and gets charged with solar energy. He is planning to make solar charging stations on highways all around the U.S. He also gave the name Tesla naming it after Nicole Tesla.
Nicole Tesla was with Thomas Alva Edison and helped him make the light bulb but didn't get enough fame. So Elon musk named the solar energy car after him. He gets land and turns into solar farms. Thousands of acres of land our covered by this farm and it is full of solar panels and wind turbines. He uses them to generate power all around the city. He had made the company PayPal but he then sold it off. PayPal is a digital wallet allowing you to pay from the internet. They had a website where the shopkeeper can transfer money from your account to his. The biggest project he is doing is the SpaceX.
SpaceX is a company in which he is doing everything affordable to get into space. He is sending compartments to the space craft in Mars orbit very smartly. In a rocket the most expensive thing is a fuel tank. Rockets contain lots of tanks to get out of the Earth's atmosphere making it expensive. He now has found a solution to that. He sent a rocket to space and then let the fuel tanks fall apart. He then guided them back into the Earth's atmosphere into an ocean where a ship was in wait to catch them. The ship was as big as five football fields. The tanks came down but were too hard and crashed into the ship. Although it was a failure this proved that you can guide a tank which is fifty miles in the air back down to Earth. He also thought about space tourism. He was going to send people into space for a tour in a capsule and get them back. This would be very expensive but very exciting.
Now he is planning something that everybody seems to think that it is crazy. He wants to establish a colony on Mars with people living. On the moon is fine, but on Mars? People are wondering how he is going to do that and what people shall he send. But with events in the past they know that this man is capable of thinking and doing the impossible
