But who among the luminaries of & # 39; times ranging from Steve Jobs of & # 39; Apple to Jeff Bezos of & # 39; Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg of & # 39; Facebook or Bill Gates & # 39; Microsoft is the most important?

The known astrofiżikista Neil deGrasse Tyson answered this loaded question at & # 39; & # 39 interview, CNBC. His pick – Elon Musk, technological entrepreneur of the moment of our time, who founded Tesla Motors, SpaceX, The Boring Company and Neuralink among other companies to change the game.

"W]E & # 39; re on the border of the future of civilization, and I do not think he takes his duties by all sectors of society, "says deGrasse Tyson," but ultimately it will be when sectors is pioneering transform the lives & # 39; those currently m & # 39; have no idea that their life is about to change.
