Ellon Musk has contributed a lot of projects in the tech industry. As many would know a vast variety of companies are under his name. Two of the big names are SapceX and Tesla. The name of Elon Musk also pops up with SolarCity and PayPal. In line with this, a new survey revealed that he is the most admired tech leader.
Elon Musk defeated Mark Zuckerburg, Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs at the most admired tech leader of all the 700 founders. The survey was conducted by the VC firm First Round Capital.
Among the 700 founders, respondents wrote the SpaceX and Tesla CEO's name and gathered 23 percent when asked whom they admired the most. Followed by Jeff Bezos at 10 percent, Mark Zuckerburg at 6 percent and Steve Jobs at 5 percent. Also, Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook gathered merely 1 percent and is the most cited female among the founders, according to the Fortune.
The survey was published on Thursday, Dec. 1. It is weeks after Tesla reported a relatively stellar quarter for only the second time in its history as a public company. However, Elon Musk will not be where he is right now if not for his soaring ambitions and these brought him to the place only a few people could reach.
