ChaptEr 2: Launch Even so, that breakthrough was a major if and the path to success was not guaranteed. And Elon wasn’t sure success was even a pos- sibility. As he said years later in an interview, when you embark on something, “it’s desirable to figure out if success is at least one of the possibilities. Because for sure failure is one of the possibilities.”41 He wanted to get this right. It was his future—requiring him to invest loads of precious time. Years could go by. And if you picked the wrong thing, well, you didn’t get that time back. He thought the idea and research would probably make a great topic for a dissertation, but what good would that do in the end? “So you add some leaves to the tree of knowledge,” he said, laughing, “and the leaf is ‘Nope, it’s not possible.’”42 That would be a bummer. And Elon’s drive centered on making a meaningful contribution to human- ity. It was a lot to think about. And he needed more information. Luckily, as his final college summer arrived in 1994, he had two internships set up in Silicon Valley—a massive dose of real world experience. Working every waking hour, Elon spent his days focus- ing on ultracapacitors for electric cars at a company called Pinnacle Research Institute. Then, at the end of that shift, he headed to his job at the video game maker Rocket Science! At the end of the summer, it was time to have a long conversation about what he learned, what he experienced, and what he wanted to do next. And there is no better format for that conversation than a good, old-fashioned road trip—with Kimbal. The two brothers bought a beater. To be fair, it was a BMW—but it was also twenty years old and not in awesome shape. But it would do. “We went on a road trip from Silicon Valley to Philadelphia,” Kim- bal recounted.
