[Elon Musk](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk) is one hell of an entrepreneur. I just finished watching this “Bloomberg Risk Takers” video. 

\[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh45igK4Esw?rel=0&w=560&h=315\]

It’s about 45 minutes long, but well worth it. What’s astounding is both is willingness to go all-in and his commitment to solving big, meaningful problems. [Click here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh45igK4Esw) if you can’t see the video above.

Once you’re done watching, you should then read [this Quora answer from his first wife](http://www.quora.com/How-can-I-be-as-great-as-Bill-Gates-Steve-Jobs-Elon-Musk-Richard-Branson/answer/Justine-Musk?srid=V0H&share=1) talking about what it takes to be that great.
