Definitely Elon Musk, he's a real engineer and we both share the same interests, aviation and electric vehicles

Elon Musk is a freaking alien.

His list of accomplishments is ridiculous-- Paypal, SpaceX, Tesla and those yet-to-be-realized like hyperloop. He's not a role model he's someone to be downright jealous about! (Sarcasm!)

Seriously though to be involved in that many successful ventures it has to be more than just luck.

I actually like to think that he is an alien lost on earth trying to build a spaceship to go back home. With Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX, he is just bootstrapping what he needs to build to go back home.

I don't know if I consider him my role model, but I definitely think what he is doing is amazing. And I love reading about him and his interests.
