5 Inventions of Elon Musk

 All inventions of Elon Musk are revolutionizing. There is no doubt that Elon is changing life of Humans. So let's have a look at the best 5 inventions of Elon Musk.

1. NEURALINK - BRAIN CHIP 

This brain chip startup of Elon Musk is going to launch for clinical trails for humans this year. 



This technology will enable those who are disabled or paralyzed to use smartphone with their mind, faster than those who are using it with their thumbs. Neuralink chip will get implanted in the human brain, would allow a computer to translate a person's thoughts into action. This will fuse  humankind with Artificial Intelligence. 

2.   SUPERFAST - HYPERLOOP


In 2013, Elon Musk described his idea for a futuristic fast transportation that would send passengers from via tubes at speeds of hundreds of miles in a 58 pages Hyperloop alpha paper.

 Hyperloop is three and half times faster than Japan's shinkansen bullet trains and even faster than a Boeing 747. In hyperloop, the magnetic pods are levitating inside a tube at a more than thousand kilometers per hour. As per the theory, you can go from Los Angeles to San Francisco (around 560 km) in about 45 minutes. 

This transportation will make the world less polluted and travelling from one city to another daily  will become a norm. In the November 2020, the first test drive of hyperloop was successful and now we can expect it in reality in the coming decade. The technology use in Hyperloop is the Magnetic Levitation or Maglev. The zero friction between the train and surface makes it faster. And the tube is without air which makes it Zero Resistance. It's like the train is travelling in the air!

3. NOT-A-FLAMETHROWER 



It's not a Flamethrower but it throws flames out of it! This cool, crazy invention of the Boring Company is a big prototype of Propane Torch. It's kind of toy. Just don't burn anything or anyone! 

4 TESLA POWERWALL



The Tesla Powerwall is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This is a home energy manufacture made by Tesla. It stores solar energy that can be use later. This device is a perfect fit for rural areas where electricity is still hard to reach, areas like California where electricity is very expensive or areas like Australia which are gifted with lots of sunlight throughout the year.

 

5. SPACEX STARSHIP

This one is my personal favorite!  SpaceX's starship spacecraft and Super Heavy Rocket (also known as Starship). This is a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry Humans beyond the Earth to the Mars, moon and far beyond. 



This is the world's the most powerful launch vehicle ever developed. Recently, SpaceX did test of Starship SN15.

Investor Relations

Is Investor Relations an art or science?

Investor Relations refers to the Responsibility of managing communication between a company's corporate management and its Investors. IR is both an art or science. It is a Strategic Management profile where a person needs to possess communication, finance, marketing and security laws knowledge to manage Investor Relations. 

Sarbanes-Oxley act 2002 is a US federal law that mandates certain practices in financial record keeping and reporting for corporations. After Sarbanes-Oxley act 2002, the IR profile has seen significant growth.

Sarbanes-Oxley act emphasized the need for IR management in the finance industry.

Investor relations falls under the bracket of Corporate Finance. 

IR is a crucial function for any listed company. A competent IR team not only raises the profile of the company but also the value it's securities. Due to it's strategic nature, the role demands the diverse skill sets from a professional. The one who is working as IR needs to have knowledge of finance, as well as a strong understanding of the business or sectors or organization operates in, the macroeconomic factors, and the corporate strategy and various processes within the organization.  Also, having above average communication skills and knowledge of security laws is an advantage. Due to this IRs are "Jack of all trades, master of none."

This profile is kind of Functional Orphan. IRs can have very distinctive backgrounds, coming from marketing, the sell side, treasury, communications, finance or a host of any other areas.

The main responsibility of IR is to think from the Investor's perspective. By putting yourself in Investor's shoes one can perform better in this role.    

  A strong IR team adds value to the company. IR is an Intelligence agent who has identified the hot-button issues investors care about. IR in India is at a very nascent stage.

 - Hey there,

Okay, so first of all  I'm not writing this post because I love India or due to my patriotic feelings.

This is post based on real statistical data which shows that Indian economy is growing expeditiously and will grow only in the upcoming years.  These are just few but important points to consider.

Currently, India is the 6th largest economy behind the US, China, Japan, Germany and the UK.

1. As per the recent IHS Markit, India to surpass Japan as Asia's 2nd the largest economy by 2030.

2. India's nominal GDP is forecast to rise from $2.7 trillion in 2021 to $8.4 trillion by 2030.

3. India's consumption expenditure will double from $1.5 trillion in 2020 to $3 trillion by 2030. India's middle class is going to spend more and more in the upcoming years.

Anna (2019)


Recently, I watched Anna on Netflix.  And I got my “Female James Bond” and Assassin.

Somewhere you may feel like this movie is like ‘Red Sparrow’ but no. It’s better than it.

Directed and written by Luc Besson, Anna is full of Action, Suspense and Thrill.

Yes, like Red Sparrow, it is with sex also. But not that much.



Our main lead character is Sasha Luss (Anna), who is a Russian spy working for KGB. She kills people but first attracting them towards her. So she is beautiful, hot and Fearless!

Then further in movie our Anna starts working for American Spy Agency. And somewhere gets stuck between USA and Russia, with no life for herself. But Anna never chose to become spy for herself.

She was just accepting what life had offered her. But after certain point she decides to choose herself over USA and Russia.

Anna in this movie is in love with three people, her Girl Friend Maude (Lera Abova), the Russian KGB agent Alex (Luke Evans) and CIA agent Lenny Miller (Cillian Murphy). But in the end, she chooses herself only! There is one more female lead character in this movie, Olga played by Helen Mirren.

In the end Olga, becomes the new head (and female) head of KGB.

Apart from spying on people, getting information and killing them, Anna works as a Fashion Model. This helps her to keep her profile low and stay away from any trouble due to her job of spying. For that she made a GF in Paris, which also helps her to keep men away from her! It’s a complete female centric movie.

The best part of movie is that it’s full of suspense. The movie plot sometimes goes in the past, sometimes in the present. Full of Twists! Going back and forth. And this I think makes this movie more interesting and suspenseful. Narrative of this movie is great but execution it was a little sloppy. Movie is bit lengthy. It could have been better. But acting is really really good, specially Anna is on the fire!

On my personal note, I fall in love with the song “I’m Criminal.” What a song man! The lyrics 100/100.

Even if you don’t watch this movie, you must have to listen this song, “I’m Criminal.” The other song, “My Beauty,” is also beautiful lyrics and amazing music. 

Overall nice and Entertaining movie with lots of Action and Suspense.
