Pop star will.i.am revealed he invested in Tesla before Elon Musk became CEO, expressing pride in this choice. However, he regretted not investing in Airbnb when he had the opportunity. He acknowledged the transformative impact of both Musk and Steve Jobs on his life and career. Tesla's growth, especially post-IPO, illustrates the potential of early investments in innovative companies. While celebrating Musk as a pivotal figure in tech, will.i.am also reflected on Tesla's tumultuous journey, highlighting Musk's role in rescuing the company from financial challenges.
I invested in Tesla in 2006, before Elon took over the company, and he's done great, taking it to where it is. Hopefully, he can figure out a way to get it back to its glory.
Damn, both of those cats is why my life is nice. You're talking about two companies that ... changed my life - so I say both.
Tesla has had its valleys and its highs and I applauded Musk for having saved it out of bankruptcy in the past.
I regret not becoming an early backer of Airbnb, which could have significantly changed my financial trajectory.
