18. INNOVATION AT SPACEX
• They changed the engine, giving it the lowest possible cost choice
of architecture, covering it with fireproof blankets, and improving
its pump and injector.
• They changed the rocket’s structure, giving it an inexpensive
aluminum tank, and enabling it to stand un-pressurized on a launch
pad in even extreme winds.
• They updated its avionics with the latest technology.
• They made a rocket that would be completely assembled in the
SpaceX factory so that no army of workers would later be required
at the launch site.
• One of the greatest innovations at SpaceX is its “ability to make
almost any part of the rocket in house.” This, he says, gives it “a
great deal of bargaining power with suppliers.

20. SolarCity
• Founded in 2006 by Elon and his cousins Peter
and Lyndon Rive
• Headquartered in San Mateo, California
• SolarCity is America's largest solar power provider

design and installation teams in the world
• Leading provider of residential solar power in
California since 2007

21. GivePower Foundation
•Mission-To make clean renewable energy accessible to those who need it
most and reduce the world’s dependence on finite, polluting power sources.
•Every solar home makes a difference.
•Together we can do more.
•The GivePower Foundation is a SolarCity nonprofit organization
