Anand Mahindra recalls mailing Elon Musk a morale booster when he was “exhausted.”
"Hang in there @elonmusk," Anand Mahindra encouraged Elon Musk on Twitter. Your plant is currently operating at a rapid pace. "Inspiring innovators like you are needed in the world."
Hard to believe I felt the need to send @elonmusk a morale-boosting message just 3 years ago, when he was exhausted & suspected worse was to come. Now worth over $300bn;wealthier & more successful than any businessperson ever. The lesson? Never give up. Believe in your own story. https://t.co/T0k6azUvo5

What is the takeaway? Never surrender. “Believe in your own story,” says the author. Mahindra said on Twitter, quoting his own August 2018 blog post.
Musk talked about his “excruciating” year and how “the worst is yet to come” in his personal life in an interview with The New York Times in 2018.
Mahindra had responded to the interview by tagging Musk, who now has over 8 million Twitter followers. “Hang in there, @elonmusk,” says the narrator. Your plant is currently operating at a rapid pace. “Inspiring innovators like you are needed in the world,” he had tweeted.
