Most entrepreneurs dream of building one unicorn. Elon Musk has built six: PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company, and xAI. His companies don’t just reach massive valuations—they revolutionize entire industries and reshape the future. The Musk Way unveils the four core principles behind that success. Based on exclusive interviews with former SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and PayPal employees—and drawn from 9,200 research notes—Alejandro Sahuquillo, a former entrepreneur with more than 10 million views on his YouTube channels, distills Musk’s method into a clear, actionable system.

The Earth slipped—a shift barely more than a degree on paper, but enough to fracture fault lines, drown cities, and rip the jet stream into shreds. The skies burned with auroras. Rivers swelled and reversed course, turning tall hills into islands. Satellites went silent. And within days, society collapsed.

The Reckoning had passed, but the loss of life and destruction left in its wake defied imagination.

Normalcy ceased to exist in the United States the instant the Iranian EMP warheads detonated, relieving America of its abundant luxuries and conveniences.

America suffered blow after blow of internal strife, work stoppages, police shootings, riots, and immobilizing national discord. The riches of the country attracted international villains who eyed the country like a wealthy home with an open front door.

It was worse because it was so avoidable, like a major corporation going bankrupt out of bad decisions and neglect. When the funds dried up and all the political machinations failed, nothing remained but the people. Left to their own devices, what sprang up more resembled the Old West of the 1800s.
