By the age of 12 Elon Musk had sold his first commercial software, a space game called Blaster.

His next act was as co-founder of PayPal, which was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock in 2002. Musk then turned his energy toward two notable new ventures: SpaceX, developer and manufacturer of space launch vehicles, and Tesla Motors, developer of high-end electric automobiles both of which were started in a downturn. What makes this visionary entrepreneur tick? Come and find out as he speaks with Michael Malone about innovation for the futures sake, business strategies to get there, how to make order out of chaos along the way, and more.
