An Uncanny Coincidence? The Parallels of TESLA & ELON MUSK

I watched and listened to Elon Musk on an episode of Ted Talk today, but this was the first time I had ever heard him speak.
Since the world’s richest man bought Twitter and became the hottest trending topic in the news, I decided it was time to take a closer look at this incredibly wealthy and intellectual man.
I wanted to get a “read” on him, tap into his persona, and form an intuitive opinion of who he is. And I’ll admit…I didn’t know what to expect, but I noticed parallels with his company’s namesake as I listened to him.
The coincidences started to stack up, and I began to jot down my findings.
If you’re like me, you don’t believe in accidents. Everything that happens has a connection to a more significant meaning.
Consider your life and the synchronicities that you’ve experienced. Perhaps these “signs” were just what you needed to push ahead with a decision you were struggling to make.
Did you stop and pay attention when you experienced these “God winks”?
Take a look at these uncanny parallels between Nicola Tesla and Elon Musk.
