Elon Musk Explains the Genius of Kanye West
Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn’t believe in false modesty, and he shouldn’t. Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity—he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut—got him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose. In his debut album, over a decade ago, Kanye issued what amounted to a social critique and a call to arms (with a beat): “We rappers is role models: we rap, we don’t think.” But Kanye does think. Constantly. About everything. And he wants everybody else to do the same: to engage, question, push boundaries. Now that he’s a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to achieve just that. He’s not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye’s been playing the long game all along, and we’re only just beginning to see why.
Musk, an engineer and entrepreneur, is the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors.
Kanye West Talks Hope for Humanity's Future
He has known of and spoke about Musk for a long time. I myself first heard of him around 5 years ago when one of his companies was a client of the firm I was at at the time. His creativity and desire to push boundaries with space and electric cars in a way that was very different from Steve Jobs and others of that ilk. There was a reason I specifically said Musk. If you guys don't see it, feel free to have your own opinion, but don't think talking shyt and putting up smileys means anything. It doesn't. Just like being upset at what the next man does.
