  On Twitter, billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk conversed with user Scott Stapf about relief for Puerto Rico, after the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria. Stapf inquired if Musk could go in and rebuild Puerto Rico's electricity system with independent solar and battery systems. Musk did not reply with a simple "No problem!" but his response sure sounded like something close to it: "The Tesla team has done this for many smaller islands around the world, but there is no scalability limit, so it can be done for Puerto Rico too. Such a decision would be in the hands of the PR govt, PUC, any commercial stakeholders and, most importantly, the people of PR." Musk then spoke with Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello, who then tweeted:   Feeling like you could save the world, too? Here are 11 quotes from Elon Musk that will inspire you to take on the impossible: "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor....

  After Joel Holland stepped down as CEO from his stock images company in 2016, you could say he was burned out. The Arlington, Virginia-based company,  Storyblocks , which he founded in 2009, made Inc.'s list of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. seven years in a row, and he was looking for a break. So, he skipped town. In 2018, he and his wife--along with their two cats and pet ferrets--hopped in an RV and spent several months   traveling the lower 48 states, spending a night or two at a time packed amid farmland or other privately owned scenic lots offered up through an app called Harvest Hosts.  On one of their first stays, the couple spent the night on a farm in Kansas run by three octogenarian nuns. "I completely fell in love with the concept," says Holland. "You get to stay at these really amazing locations like wineries and farms,...

  When it comes to mission-driven companies, sometimes customers care more about the mission than the company itself -- which is why a strong mission can carry a business a long way. That's according to  Shark Tank investor and serial founder Daymond John, who  learned this lesson after investing in cult favorite sock company Bombas , which donates clothing to homeless shelters for every pair of socks sold. Simply put, John realized that customers care about companies that give back and have a clear mission people feel good about. It's a lesson that factors prominently in John's  new course on entrepreneurship for kids ages 10 to 17 . He shared with Inc. a process he teaches these young students and adult entrepreneurs alike about creating a mission statement that's clear and easy to digest for customers. The first step is reaching out to your customers to share the first draft of your m...

 started the first early-stage fund for female-founded companies. What criteria does she look for in pre-revenue companies? "There are no hard and fast rules. We're really looking to invest in great founders with big vision, from relevant backgrounds. And, you know, early signs of traction," says Duggal, who is founding partner of the Female Founders Fund , a  seed-stage venture fund that has become a leading source of capital for women founders. It closed its second fund of $27 million in 2018, which followed a first fund of $5.8 million. Since its launch in 2014, Female Founders Fund has backed successful startups such as razor company Billie, women's health startup Maven Clinic, astrology app Co-Star, Real, Rent the Runway, and many others. It's no secret that women-led startups get a smaller piece of the venture capital funding pie. Companies with female founders drew only 2.4 percent of venture capital dollars in the U.S. in 2020,...

 I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary." -Elon Musk Elon Musk's willingness to publicly discuss even the failures of his insanely ambitious SpaceX missions reminds us just how confident the man truly is. Musk has accomplished feats previously thought impossible--in fact, if he'd listened to his advisers, he'd never have experienced the success he has. Born in South Africa in 1971, he sold his first computer game at age 12 and went on to co-found Tesla Motors, PayPal and SpaceX. Elon Musk is a risk taker; he's an innovator and dares to dream the big dreams. Further, he has the ability to actually make them happen. He's kind of a badass. How does he do it? I'm a huge advocate of learning from the experience and wisdom of others, and this man is so extraordinarily successful and intelligent that we'd be fools not to listen to him. See what you can learn from these innovation and success quotes from Elon Musk : 1...

 Digital currency, which is made with an energy-intensive process, falls 17% after the tweet     esla has suspended customers’ use of bitcoin to purchase its vehicles, Elon Musk said on Wednesday, citing concerns about the use of fossil fuel for bitcoin mining. Dogecoin’s record-breaking rise shoots ‘joke’ cryptocurrency to wider attention Read more Bitcoin, the world’s biggest digital currency, fell almost 17% after the tweet to its lowest point since the beginning of March. It recovered slightly in Asian trading but was still off 12% at $50,933 early on Thursday morning. Musk said Tesla would not sell any bitcoin, and intends to use bitcoin for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy . “We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use <1% of bitcoin’s energy/transaction,” Musk said. Musk said in March that Tesla customers can buy its electric vehicles with bitcoin. The digital currency is created when high-powered computers...

 The Tesla boss has been a major force behind the cryptocurrency's meteoric rise. Musk's withdrawal on Bitcoin investors is proving to be a major nuisance as the coin strives to go mainstream, writes DW's Ashutosh Pandey.   A change of heart and Bitcoin comes crumbling down . To be fair, it's no ordinary person's heart. It belongs to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a tech trailblazer and arguably the most prominent cryptobacker. His endorsement, mainly via tweets and jokes, has helped fuel Bitcoin as well as its parody version Dogecoin to record highs. Bitcoin prices soared 20% after Musk added the hashtag #bitcoin to his Twitter bio in January and another 15% two weeks later, when Tesla said it had bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin and that it would start accepting the digital coin as payment for its electric cars.  So, when Musk took an abrupt U-turn on Wednesday and tweeted that Tesla would stop taking payment in the digital currency because mining the cr...

  In December 2020, the Indonesian government had offered the Papuan island of Biak, home to some 100,000 inhabitants, to the centibillionare Elon Musk as a potential launch site for the SpaceX Mars-bound expedition. SpaceX , an aerospace corporation founded in 2002 by Musk, is arguably the world’s most leading-edge technological project. It aims to enable humans to travel to and live on Mars and potentially other planets sustainably and at scale. This way, human civilisation can continue in the event of a planetary disaster – for instance, an asteroid strike or nuclear war – that would make life on Earth impossible. At a local level, government officials say the project will help enhance the economic development of the residents of Biak, a rural island where urban infrastructure is lacking.   Most recently, local news reported on March 11 that the Indonesian government has denied making the offer to Elon Musk, although a report published in late March by JU...

  This article is the second of four articles in the series on Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) in Indonesia entitled “Data that Records and Protects All”. One in four Indonesian families with children under five years old is at risk of being unable to access various basic services because they lack civil registration documents. Among them is Bunga (not her real name), a 20-year-old mother of a two-year-old in South Sulawesi province – located on the third-most-populated island in Indonesia. Because she doesn’t have a family card, Bunga and her child might be left off the list of citizens eligible for social aid – either cash or food assistance – which the government provides for economically vulnerable people during a disaster, including the pandemic. Many would think the solution to Bunga’s problem is simple: she just needs to apply for the documents. But our research at the Center on Child Protection and Wellbeing, University of Indonesia (PU...

  The long history between Indonesia and China has encouraged several institutions in Indonesia to build centres for studies on China. For example, Al Azhar Indonesia University in Jakarta founded a centre dedicated to Mandarin language and Chinese culture in 2005 and Petra Christian University (UKP) in Surabaya, East Java, established its “Center for Chinese Indonesian Studies/CCIS” in 2011. Many Chinese study centres in Indonesia focus on just Chinese culture and language. While crucial, it is not enough. The rise of China and the growing ties between Indonesia and China should be a wake-up call for Indonesia to have more study centres focusing on the Chinese economy. Indonesia needs to learn about China’s economic success. Indonesia-China relations are also mainly based on economics.   To learn from China’s economic success In today’s globalised world, the most incessant expansion is in the economic field. We have seen China transformed since the time of...

  Studies examining how the pandemic has affected the environment around the globe have produced mixed results . Among some good news, for instance, lockdown measures worldwide have resulted in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and better air quality. On the other hand, a European Environment Agency report noted a surge in the use of single-use plastics and growing pressures on the capacity of global recycling systems throughout 2020. Meanwhile, many protected and conserved areas around the world – as well as communities that depend on these areas for their livelihoods – have suffered from the collapse in eco-tourism and government support for conservation programs.  Similar contrasting trends can also be observed in Indonesia, one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. What is particularly worrying in the case of Indonesia is that these COVID-related issues are accompanied not only by a lack of environmental awareness but also by the country’s recent ...

  The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the healthcare sector in Southeast Asia’s largest economy, Indonesia. One of the most devastating effects is a high infection and mortality rate among healthcare workers. The latest data from the Indonesian Medical Association showed at least 718 healthcare workers have died due to COVID-19 infections, including 325 doctors and 324 nurses. These figures are among the highest in the world. What makes this even more alarming is Indonesia has relatively low numbers of healthcare practitioners – only four doctors and 21 nurses per 10,000 citizens. For comparison, Malaysia has 15 doctors and 35 nurses, and Singapore 23 doctors and 62 nurses per 10,000 citizens. Our recent research reveals that significant discrepancies in the quantity and quality of hospitals’ facilities and services for COVID-19 treatment have increased risks for medical worker The main cause of such discrepancies is significant variations in the adequac...

 the Indonesian Defence Ministry’s plan to seek up to US$125 billion in loans to modernise the country’s military was leaked to the public earlier this month. The news created a stir. The number translates to around Rp 1.7 quadrillion (it’s a 16-digit number). By comparison, the Indonesian government planned to spend a total of Rp 2.75 quadrillion ($185.19 billion) in its 2021 budget. The ministry said that since the procurement would be financed by foreign debt it would not burden the state budget . That statement has also raised more than a few eyebrows. So, does the number make sense   A long-term plan The plan – drafted in a presidential regulation – outlines an overall defence procurement budget intended for a 25-year-period of 2020–2044. Indonesia’s defence planning is usually done in a five-year medium term and is called the strategic plan (“rencana strategies” or renstra). Longer-term planning is usually done by combining several renstra. For exampl...
