ignition liftoff so the falcon 9 and
crew dragon
go nasa go spacex welcome to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 elon musk creations and
inventions
and then starts falling and then just
falls like a skydiver and it's just
controlling itself
and then it turns and lands solar roofs
that look better than a normal roof
generate electricity last longer
receiving cash is cash i mean those are
just a large number of ben franklin for
more videos on business
entrepreneurship and success check out
our channel context
tv for this list we'll be looking at
inventions and innovations from elon
musk and his companies
we've ranked them based on their impact
potential and stage of development
which elon musk creation wowed you the
most let us know in the comments
number 10 nora link founded by musk in
july 2016
this neurotechnology company would
likely rank higher if it weren't still
in its infancy
so this is a healthy and happy pig with
an implant that is two months old two
months old and working well
based on what we've seen so far though
neurolink has the potential to change
the world with its implantable brain
machine
interfaces the company is currently
developing a sewing machine like device
that'll implant electrode threads into
the brain
right now we're inside a computer
program is it really so hard to believe
according to musk the neuralink chip
will enable people to stream
music to their brains enhance abilities
and aid those with brain disease
some neuroscientists have expressed
doubt about its capabilities
in a lot of ways it's kind of like a
fitbit in your skull with tiny wires
but musk believes that this fitbit in
your skull as he calls it could be the
answer to treating paralysis
depression blindness deafness seizures
and much more jiu-jitsu
i'm going to learn jiu-jitsu
number nine hyperloop like neuralink the
hyperloop remains in its early stages
but this project could revolutionize
transportation as we know it
first publicly mentioned in 2012 this
system would allow
pods to travel through low pressure
tubes at rapid rates
dc to new york hyperloop
i think you'd probably want to go
underground the entire way because it's
a high density area
normally it would take about six hours
to drive from los angeles to san
francisco
even a plane would take over an hour if
hyperloop lives up to the buzz though it
would only be a 35 minute ride for
passengers
hyperloop is just one of the many
interesting ideas coming out of musk's
ironically named
boring company not only was a car
elevator prototype successfully tested
but they also made and sold 20
000 flamethrowers which was renamed not
a flamethrower to appease customs
the kids love this one number eight
spacex starship
again we don't want to jump the gun on a
creation still in testing but this one
has got us excited
in the works since 2012 spacex's
starship spacecraft and super heavy
booster
may fulfill musk's long-time goal of
landing on mars
described as the world's most powerful
launch vehicle starship
is powered by six raptor rocket engines
starship aims to transport humans and
cargo to the red planet
although we're getting ahead of
ourselves and then starts falling
and then just falls like a skydiver and
it's just controlling itself
and then it turns and lands before the
spacex starship
system boldly goes to mars missions to
the moon are being planned
in 2023 japanese billionaire yusaku
muzawa hopes to become spacex's first
private passenger to take a trip around
the moon
we think it would be very exciting to
have a base on the moon
even if it's just a science base as for
mars musk wants to pull off an uncrewed
mission
by 2024. number seven starlink
another spacex project starlink has its
pros and cons
this satellite internet constellation
aspires to deliver almost universal
service by late 2021 or 2022
as incredible as that sounds there are
some problems
given the thousands of small satellites
involved starlink could create
long-term space debris resulting in
collisions while spacex did attempt to
rectify this by lowering the satellite
orbits to 340 miles
starlink has also been tied to light
pollution limiting our view of the stars
to reduce brightness a sun shade
structure was announced in april 2020
spacex is currently launching satellites
in batches which will hopefully allow
enough time to work out these kinks
if all goes well starlink may provide
internet access around the globe
and one day on mars number 6
x.com x.com might not be ringing any
bells but you're definitely familiar
with what it became
i think x.com could absolutely be a
multi-billion dollar bonanza back in
november 1999 when people were still
using dial-up internet
musk founded one of the first online
banks no more than five months later
x.com merged with the silicon valley
based software company confinity
through this merger a little company
known as paypal was born
so this is an atm what we're going to do
is transform the traditional banking
industry
later sold to ebay for 1.5 billion
paypal remains one of the most popular
online payment systems
even before he was a household name musk
was helping to shape the tech world in
innovative ways
i'd say the real payoff is the chance of
satisfaction having created the company
that i sold
musk bought the domain name x.com back
in 2017
but if you try visiting the site today
well let's just say that x
marks the spot number 5 spacex dragon
capsules
the spacex dragon pulled off a historic
feat in 2012
becoming the first private spacecraft to
rendezvous with the international space
station
ignition liftoff so the falcon 9 and
crew dragon
go nasa go spacex this reusable cargo
craft was succeeded by the spacex dragon
2 which had two variants
essentially a new and improved version
of dragon 1 cargo dragon can transport
over 7000 pounds for those of us who've
been living with switches from the 60s
for
all these years to see a modern
interface is something that's pretty
exciting
crew dragon meanwhile is capable of
taking seven individuals into space
and can remain docked for 210 days the
first crewed flight occurred in may of
2020
transporting two nasa astronauts to the
iss and returning them safe and sound in
august
falcon 9 has landed this is the first
falcon 9 to carry
humans to orbit previously nasa was
reliant on russia's soyuz to transport
crew to the iss
so the dragon capsules herald a bright
new era in american space flight
number four solar city while solar city
was founded by brothers peter and lyndon
rive in 2006 they got the idea from
their cousin
elon musk solar roofs that look better
than
a normal roof generate electricity last
longer
with musk serving as chairman solar city
started producing solar panels and solar
shingles
by 2015 it was being reported that solar
solarcity had produced
the world's most efficient rooftop solar
panels from the vantage point of the
street
it looks completely opaque but as the
angle changes it goes from transparent
to opaque
the following year solarcity became a
subsidiary of tesla which claims that
tesla solar has the lowest price
in the u.s it's also among the country's
top providers of solar power systems
even designing an entire solar roof
renewable energy is a key component in
reducing climate change
and in conjunction with tesla solarcity
may play a significant role in our
future
number three tesla energy storage
speaking of tesla the company has made
enormous strides in home and commercial
energy storage with the power wall
and power pack they can store energy
from both solar and the grid
you can take a four bedroom house and
you can have
uh you can power the your fridge the
sockets and lights
for a day in one of the company's most
ambitious endeavors
tesla used power packs to build a 100
megawatt battery in 2017
the world's largest lithium-ion battery
at the time the hornsdale power reserve
saved the south australian government
millions conventional generators can't
match the way the battery makes small
adjustments to power
supply to keep the grid at the right
frequency when musk was asked on twitter
about helping south australia with
electrical issues he promised the
battery would be ready in 100 days or
it'd be free
tesla delivered in 63 days tesla is
already outdoing themselves with the
mega pack
which will make moss landing california
home to the largest battery storage
facility in the world
number two spacex falcon rockets
spacex has repeatedly revolutionized
space transport since it was founded in
2002
in no small part thanks to their falcon
rockets stage one lift up indication
we have liftoff spacex falcon 1 launch
vehicle falcon has cleared the tower
when the falcon 1 launched into earth's
orbit it became the first privately
developed liquid fuel rocket to do so
of course falcon 1 was practically a
prototype compared to the falcon 9 which
spacex promotes as
the first orbital class reusable rocket
although this two-stage rocket is only
partially reusable
spacex is able to fly back the most
expensive parts and save
countless dollars in the process falcon
9 is powered by merlin engines which
were made with recovery and reuse in
mind
and in case you were wondering yes the
name was inspired by the millennium
falcon
she may not look like much but she's got
it where it counts kid
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
zip2 the first significant enterprise
musk co-founded
a year ago musk sold his software
company zip2 which enabled newspapers to
publish
online for 400 million dollars cash
blastar musk coded this game at age 12
and sold it for 500.
musk foundation provides solar power
energy systems in disaster areas
tesla's ceo elon musk's foundation is
planning to give new laptops to all
seventh and eighth graders in the flint
community schools district
during restructuring next year want more

number one tesla electric cars welcome
to the cybertruck unveil
tesla may not have invented the electric
car but they did give these vehicles a
second wind
from their sleek designs to their
quality performance there's a lot about
tesla's electric cars that stand out
it's no wonder why the tesla model 3
became the best selling electric car
ever in march 2020 with over 500 000
units sold
tesla batteries can reportedly last more
than 2 million miles in electric cars
which might be their greatest advantage
the software is also constantly being
upgraded with innovations like
tesla autopilot which is on its way to
making full self driving a reality
these vehicles are making a huge impact
by reducing fossil fuels as well
the electric car has officially arrived
