篇章：三起兩落一場大病
雖然看的創業類人物傳記書籍不多，但是Elon的起落和那些年看的偶像劇中情節如此雷同：白手起家，取得成功后被公司里其他股東密謀取締，連劇中察覺局勢不對秘密通報的衷心小弟都有！
He chatted up some of the best engineers at the company to get a feel for who might be willing to join him in another venture. Musk also bounced his ideas off some contacts he's made at the bank in Canada. .... And in March, Musk incorporated X.com, a finance start-up with a pornographic-sounding name
#thought#? 想起"Do or die and don't give up "，無法復制別人的成功，但是佩服學習Elon的行動力。目標明確沒有遲疑，招兵秣馬，挖洞積糧，一月份Zig2尋找買家二月賣出，三月份Elon就建立了自己公司。神速，給人一種建立公司很容易的錯覺。不否認先前的創業經歷有很大的促進作用，但Elon 的行動力讓我敬佩。牛人三四個月就成立了公司，想到啥立即就行動，拖延派的各種借口如何站得住腳。讀完的時候自己覺得好累呀，全程有一種沒有些許喘息的機會，莫名感受到他超負荷工作的高壓，替他累。就連自己的蜜月都能度成“劫”真是哭笑不得。感覺Elon想一個大大的鐘擺，無論起落，都是在自己節奏之中，都記得自己抱負。
