After having achieved some success in the business field, at this time, Elon Musk understands that he cannot avoid the media and meetings and dialogues anymore.

There are parents who are overly protective of their children, taking care of their children from childhood to adulthood, from school to work, but teaching children to have a good attitude is really important."
