The next time you feel like giving up, remember this: Elon Musk sat here after losing $100 million. This photo was taken after SpaceX’s third rocket failure. Elon had burned through nearly $100 million of his own money, SpaceX was weeks away from bankruptcy, Tesla was struggling, and he was reportedly sleeping on friends’ couches. The media called him reckless. Investors pulled back. Almost everyone told him to quit. But instead of giving up, Elon risked everything on one final launch. If it failed, SpaceX was finished. It didn’t fail. That launch succeeded, and it changed history. Today, SpaceX is reportedly valued around $1.25 trillion, dominates the private space industry, and is preparing for what could become one of the largest IPOs ever, with reports pointing to a valuation near $1.75 trillion. Most people quit right before the breakthrough. Elon kept pushing when everything was against him. That is the difference between almost succeeding and changing the world.
