Without Elon's willpower, none of these companies would be around today, because all of them had these moments where they were basically on death door, and it was only kind of Elon's belief and willingness to just keep going that they are still around today. All right. Hello everybody. I have a very special guest here Ashley Vance. If you've seen on my Instagram recently I

posted picture reading his book I also posted a picture with me in Elon Musk

and so the book is titled Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, and the quest for a fantastic future.
