This issue: ThrustMe • TESLA • SpaceX • Killer Apps
 
Elon Musk elicits strong responses, especially in the world of industry. Positive or negative: is he a visionary entrepreneur or an illusionist? What’s bothering some might be that it’s so useful to be adept at the latter to have a chance of becoming the former… Useful but not necessary. Our article on ThrustMe gives in my opinion the perfect example of industrial ambition without the slightest trace of hoo-ha. Just the sort of pure entrepreneurship we’d like to see more of.
In any case, being an entrepreneur is about transgressing established norms.
Take care,
Albert Meige, CEO & Enchanteur @ Presans
