Musk's SpaceX enterprise was founded with the intention of making affordable travel space. By extension, Musk has stated that he hopes human beings will one day become a "multi-planetary species". At the 68th International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide last September, Musk said he hopes to send cargo ships to the Red Planet within the next five years, with humans settling by 2024.a shot of the hyperloop test site near las vegas

Traveling at 700mph underground
The Hyperloop high-speed train system has been dubbed a "cross between a Concorde, a railgun, and an air hockey table" by Musk, and will allow passengers to travel at over 700mph. Musk expects that the two routes have, so far, Los Angeles to San Francisco and New York City to Washington DC, should take no longer than 30 minutes on a Hyperloop train.tesla gigafactory one in the nevada desert

Powering the world
Nicknamed the "alien dreadnought" by Musk, Tesla's Gigafactory 1 is a huge battery factory in the middle of the Nevada desert. It is being constructed with the 540,000 sq. M (5.8m sq ft), as well as the production of lithium-ion batteries.Elon Musk is a founding member of Neuralink, a company that intends to be a "merger of biological intelligence and machine intelligence" in developing technology to connect computers to our brains. The brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could be used for cognitive enhancement, ranging from improving memory and decision-making abilities to staving off the symptoms of Alzheimer's.
