Profile: Elon Musk
In 1971, a child was born in South Africa. During his
childhood, it was clear to his parents that this was not an
ordinary child. He was so engrossed in his daydreams about
inventions they even dido a medical test to check his brain.
Even as his parents divorced when he was just ten10, this

2. child’s passion for creations did not wither. He learned about
computers, and by the time he was twelve12, he had learned
how to program and created a game called Blastar. The child
was Elon Musk. Although his name is synonymous with
companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and PayPal, his entrepreneurial
days started when he was just a little boy. Fast forward to 2021,
one of Musk's companies is primed to play a massive rol e in the
British government's decision to embrace electric cars and halt
the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2030. Comment by
Chakraborty, Deblina: See:AP style
According to Lewis (2020), the British government came
up with a comprehensive plan for a ‘green industrial revolution’
late last year. The objective of the project is to embrace green
energy, and reduce the country’s carbon footprint. (Lewis,
2020) One of the goals of this plan is for the government to stop
selling out traditional internal combustion engine cars by 2030
and hybrid cars by 2035. Additionally, this plan aims to
accelerate creating the necessary infrastructure to support
electric vehicles across the country. The government will also
offer grants to people purchasing electric cars to encourage
more people to support the transition while making these cars
more affordable to the public. Comment by Chakraborty,
Deblina: Who is Lewis? Don’t forget your journalism-style

Elon Musk is a household name when it comes to
innovation. One of his most notable achievements is his efforts
at Tesla Motors. This company focuses on manufacturing
battery energy storage, electric cars, and other related services
and products. By 2008, the company already had a vehicle that
could travel 250 miles between charges. Though Musk’s efforts,
Tesla has strategic relationships with Toyota and Daimler,
which have propelled it to hold the number one position as
America's most valuable carmaker ahead of General Motors.
Therefore, with the British Governme nt’s move to full use
of electric cars in the UK, Tesla will grow and make Musk’s
name even more prominent in the entrepreneurial and

3. innovation world. With such opportunities growing by the day,
it is perhaps unsurprising that Musk has recently overtaken Jeff
Bezos to be the richest man on the planet. At Tesla, Musk
directly oversees the design, engineering, and product
development of all products. His expertise stems from his rich
educational background, which involves a degree in economics
and a physics degree. Although Musk had enrolled for to pursue
a Ph.D. in energy physics at Stanford, he dropped out after just
two days to take part in the Internet boom. He founded Zip2
Corporation, which he later sold to Compaq, and used the
money to create X. com, currently known as PayPal.
Comment by Chakraborty, Deblina: source
The sale of PayPal allowed Musk to start SpaceX and Tesla,
which he is presently well-known for.
Overall, Musk’s experiences reveal four key lessons. First,
one should tackle obstacles head-on. Musk is not afraid to
tackle any obstacle regardless of how difficult it may seem,
which explains his success in the telecommunications, energy ,
and automotive industries. Comment by Chakraborty,
Deblina: AP style
Second, failure should be treated as a lesson. Musk has
failed in his efforts several times, most notably through his
SpaceX program, which has consumed millions without being
successful in its quest to facilitate interplanetary travels.
Comment by Chakraborty, Deblina: But he’s had some
successes right?
Third, one should continually try to be better. It is why
Musk accepts feedback as a way of getting to know the truth
and acknowledging weaknesses. Finally, one should prioritize
learning. Must Musk is keen on learning and reads a lot of
books each year. Overall, as a risk-taker, Musk appears to have
a bright future and is likely to outdo his present success in the
innovation world. Comment by Chakraborty, Deblina: This is
basically opinion
This is mostly solid writing (just a few style errors), the main

4. problem is that rather than being a journalistic profile, it’s more
of a book report. The assignment was that the subject of the
piece itself would be your main source. But this doesn’t appear
to have any direct quotes so I’m assuming you did not interview
him. Additionally, there’s no news hook here – and it would be
very easy to have one b/c there’s been a fair bit of SpaceX and
Tesla news lately. I do hope you choose to do a revision and
give this one another try.
