OAS Wright was tired of living in Elon musk's Shadow with a Fortune of $28 billion and a successful tech company OAS should have felt like a winner but every time he turned on the news all he saw was elon's face elon's Rockets elon's cars elon's latest brilliant idea one day watching elon's Company stock soaring yet again on his office TV screens something inside OAS snapped he grabbed his tablet and typed out a Public challenge that would change his life forever what happened next would teach him the hardest and most valuable lesson of his life OAS
Wright slammed his fist on his mahogany desk the shiny wood rattled under his hand three big TV screens on his office wall all showed the same thing Elon musk's face and a graph with a line shooting up like a rocket turn it off OAS shouted his face felt hot his assistant Melody grabbed the remote and Quickly switched off all the screens the sudden silence felt heavy in the big corner office that man is nothing special OAS said through gritted teeth I built my fortune from nothing too started in my garage just like him but does
anyone talk about me no it's always Elon this Elon that Melody nodded but kept quiet after 5 years working for OAS she knew better than to speak when her boss was in one of his moods Especially when it involved Elon Musk OAS stood up and walked to the floor to ceiling windows that looked out over the city the right Technologies building was the third tallest in town but not not the tallest that would be too perfect a symbol for how OAS felt always close to the top but never quite there at 52 OAS Wright was
the founder and CEO of Wright Technologies worth 28 billion do his company made smart home systems electric Car parts and solar panels all successful all profitable but none that captured the world's imagination like Elon musk's companies did I'm going to challenge him oah suddenly announced turning back from the window his eyes had that gleam that Melody had learned to worry about Sir challenge who challenge how she asked carefully Elon Musk a public challenge I'll show the world who the real Tech genius is Melody set down her tablet Mr Wright are you Sure that's wise your
board meeting tomorrow is already already going to be tense with the new budget but OAS wasn't listening he had already picked up his tablet and was typing furiously when OAS got an idea in his head there was no stopping him it was how he'd built his Empire and also how he'd made his biggest mistakes there he said after a few minutes posted Melody took the tablet he held out and read what he'd written Elon Musk I challenge you to a tech duel one year two similar products let the public decide who the real Visionary is
or are you afraid to go head-to-head with someone who doesn't Worship You Tech Challenge Melody felt her stomach drop sir did you run this by legal first OAS waved his hand dismissively it's just a tweet it's not legal binding but the Press will be all over this your shareholders will love it think of the publicity Melody right Technologies will be trending worldwide by dinner time he wasn't wrong about that part within 10 minutes the post had been shared thousands of times news alerts started popping up on Melody's phone by the time she left to get
them both coffee reporters were already calling the office when when she returned OAS was sitting at his desk looking like a king on his throne his tweet was now displayed on all three screens along with the growing reaction Online see this is marketing you can't buy he said taking the coffee from her we're trending in six countries already Melody checked her phone it was true business channels were interrupting their regular shows to talk about the billionaire Tech Challenge Tech blog were posting analyses of both companies even regular people were taking sides everyone loves a good
fight ozas said grinning especially when the underdog might win by evening oas's challenge had Become the top story on every Tech blog and business channel in the country his phone wouldn't stop buzzing with messages from Friends board members and business partners some congratulated him on the Bold move others questioned his sanity OAS ignored them all he was too busy watching his social media numbers climb more followers in one day than he'd gained in the past year his name right next to elon's in every headline this was exactly what he wanted Attention the world would finally
see him as elon's equal he poured himself a glass of his favorite whiskey and settled into his leather chair to watch more coverage Melody had gone home hours ago but OAS couldn't tear himself away from the screens then his phone buzzed again a notification he almost ignored it but something made him look down his heart skipped a beat Elon Musk had responded with shaking hands ozas opened the message challenge accepted let's Make it interesting electric aircraft one year Winner Takes losers main company a game on the whiskey glass slipped from oas's fingers and shattered on
the floor he read the message again and again electric aircraft Winner Takes the losers company his mouth went dry right Technologies had been working on electric vehicle components yes but aircraft they had no experience in aviation at all and to bet his entire company OAS felt like the floor was Tilting under him what had he done in one impulsive moment he had put everything he'd built over 30 years at risk he tried to think clearly he could back out say it was just a joke but the world was watching now backing down would make him
look weak afraid the stock would plummet his reputation would never recover OAS looked out at the city lights his empire spread out before him just hours ago he'd felt invisible in Elon's Shadow now he'd give anything to go back to that his phone began ringing the board chair then his lawyer then his head of PR all calling at once the reality of what he had done was sinking in a chill ran down his spine as he whispered to the empty room what have I done OAS barely slept that night every time he closed his eyes
he saw headlines about right Technologies going bankrupt he imagined cleaning out his office while Elon Musk watched by morning his Phone had hundreds of missed calls and messages he ignored them all and took a long shower trying to clear his head he needed a plan before facing everyone the right Technologies board meeting was scheduled for 91 d.m. usually ozas would make everyone wait at least 10 minutes to show who was boss today he arrived 15 minutes early but the board members were already there their faces looked like storm clouds good morning OA said trying to
Sound confident as he walked to his seat at the head of the table no one replied Patrice Duval the head of the board stood up she was normally calm and friendly but today her eyes flashed with anger have you completely lost your mind she asked her voice echoing in the quiet room you bet our entire company on a whim without consulting any of us oia straightened his tongue it's a calculated risk right Technologies has been working on Electric propulsion for years Marcus lung another board member slammed his hand on the table for cars not aircraft
his voice Rose higher with each word we have no experience in aviation none well now we do OAS said firmly though his insides felt like jelly and I expect everyone full support one by one the board members voiced their concerns some were angry others were scared all of them thought OAS had made a terrible mistake can we back out asked Deborah Joe the newest board member not without looking weak OAS replied our stock would crash we lose the Public's trust it might crash anyway when they realize we can't possibly win this challenge Marcus muttered OAS
spent the next hour trying to convince the board that this was actually a good opportunity a chance to enter a new market to innovate to grow he wasn't sure if he believed it himself but he had to try by the end of the meeting the board reluctantly agreed To support the challenge for now but Patrice warned OAS that they would be watching him closely one more wrong move she said and we'll vote you out as CEO founder or not meanwhile news of the challenge spread through the company like wildfire Engineers looked at each other in
panic what did they know about aircraft the legal team huddled in conference rooms discussing if the challenge was legally binding could they Find a loophole the HR department started getting resignation letters within hours as people feared for their jobs Melody met ozas outside the boardroom her face pale with worry your daughter has called six times she told him and the Press is camped outside the building ozas nodded send out a statement saying I'll give a press conference tomorrow and call Zara back tell her I'll be home for dinner the rest of the day was a
blur of Emergency meetings OAS gathered his top Engineers to start planning their approach to building an electric aircraft most looked terrified a few looked excited at least that was something by evening OAS was exhausted he drove home to his mansion in the aor Hills overlooking the city usually the view of his company's building lit up at night filled him with pride today it just reminded him of what he stood to lose inside he found his 17-year-old Daughter Zara waiting she was still in her school uniform her dark hair pulled back in a ponytail her face
serious dad why are you doing this she asked as soon as he walked in her voice was shaking slightly your company is our Legacy everything you built could be gone I'm doing this for us ozas said setting down his briefcase to show the world that the right name means something I never asked for that Zara shouted jumping up from her chair I just want my dad not some Ego driven billionaire trying to prove something her words hit him like a slap was that how she saw him just another rich man with a big ego Zara
it's not like that he started to say but she cut him off everyone at school is talking about it they're saying you've lost it that you're having a midlife crisis her eyes filled with tears my friends are laughing at you at us before he could respond she stormed out of the room leaving ozas alone with his Thoughts for the first time doubt crept into his mind not just worry about losing but doubt about why he'd done this in the first place he wandered into his home office and switched on the TV every news channel was
still talking about the challenge some business experts were predicting right Technologies would go bankrupt within a year others were already guessing what Elon Musk would do with the company when he won it OAS switched off the TV and Poured himself a drink the reality of his situation was sinking in Deeper by the hour he had made the big gamble of his life and the odds were stacked against him his phone buzzed it was a message from Melody whatever happens I believe in you at least someone did because right now OAS wasn't sure he believed in
himself anymore he walked to the window and looked out at the night sky Somewhere Out There Elon Musk was probably already working on his electric Aircraft with his experience and resources Elon had a huge Head Start but osias Wright hadn't become a billionaire by giving up when things got tough he'd built his fortune by seeing opportunities where others saw problems maybe just maybe he could turn This Disaster into his greatest Triumph first though he needed a plan and he needed the best team in the world tomorrow the real work would begin and it did by
6 a.m OAS was back in his office Researching the electric aircraft industry what he found wasn't encouraging there were already several companies working on electric planes all had more experience than right Technologies and of course one of Elon musk's companies had been exploring the idea for years we need an edge OAS muttered to himself something different something better but what he wasn't an engineer he was a businessman he needed someone who could turn this crazy Challenge into a real plan that's when he remembered Violet Chen she had been in the news a few months ago
after leaving NASA she had developed new electric propulsion systems that could work in space but her projects lost funding in budget cuts and she had quit in protest if anyone could help him build an electric aircraft in one year it was her Melody ozas called as his assistant walked in with his coffee can you set up a video call with Violet Chen Today if possible Melody raised her eyebrows but nodded I'll try sir but she's been turning down interviews and job offers from everyone even Google couldn't get her tell her it's about the challenge with
Elon Musk that might get her attention three hours later OAS was sitting in front of his computer screen as Violet Chen's face appeared she looked younger than he expected maybe in her late 30s her expression was serious Her dark eyes sharp and watchful Mr Wright she said not smiling your assistant said this was urgent Miss Chen thank you for taking my call oia said leaning forward I'll get right to the point I need your help building an electric aircraft Violet's face didn't change yes I've seen the news you challenged Elon Musk to build an electric
aircraft when you have no Aviation experience that's not a job Offer that interests me ozas had expected this what if I told you that you'd have unlimited resources a blank check to build your dream Violet leaned closer to her camera her expression shifting slightly I'm listening I don't just want to beat Elon Musk OAS said surprised to find that he meant it I want to change Transportation forever cleaner safer available to everyone not just another toy for the Rich those are nice words Mr Wright but words are easy actions matter more I agree OAS took
a deep breath name your price whatever you want to build your team whatever equipment you need it's yours Violet studied him for a long moment OAS tried not to fidget under her gaze finally she spoke I'll do it but I choose my team and we do it right not just fast no cutting corners on safety agreed ozas said quickly I'll send you my contract Term this afternoon if you accept them I can start next week the screen went dark before OAS could reply he sat back in his chair feeling like he'd just survived an interview
rather than given one but he had his expert now they had a chance within 2 weeks Violet had moved to the city and taken over an entire floor at Wright technology headquarters every day new people arrived engineers designers test pilots some came from other aircraft companies others from NASA like violet a few were fresh from top universities brilliant young minds eager to work on something revolutionary for the first time since the challenge began OAS felt hopeful he visited the project floor daily watching as Violet's team created models and ran simulations he didn't understand all the
technical details but he could see the energy and excitement growing but not everyone was supportive Marcus L from the board kept Asking difficult questions in meetings how much money was being spent what were the odds of success wasn't this all a waste of resources one evening oiah stayed late to review budget reports as he was leaving he saw Marcus and ENT in a restaurant across the street curious OAS watched as Marcus met with someone one of Wright Technology's largest investors they were huddled in deep conversation looking worried oas's stomach tightened was Marcus warning Investors about
the challenge trying to turn them against him the next day Wright Technology's stock price dropped 5% by the end of the week it was was down 12% at home things weren't better Zara barely spoke to OAS she was embarrassed by the headlines and the jokes her classmates made about her dad's midlife crisis I got an A on my physics test she said one night at dinner the longest Conversation they'd had in days that's great OAS replied trying to sound enthusiastic maybe you could visit the project sometime see what we're building Zara Shrugged why so I
can watch you lose our company to Elon Musk she left the table before he could respond only Melody his loyal assistant stood firmly by oas's side she worked as late as he did organized his chaotic schedule and kept the Press at Bay they'll understand when you win she Assured him one night as they reviewed the latest project updates what if I don't ozas asked quietly voicing the fear that kept him awake at night melody had no answer for that 3 months into the e challenge Violet called OAS to the project floor for a major update
she led him to a large room filled with complex equipment and computer screens we finished the initial designs she said showing him detailed 3D models on a large screen now comes the Hard part building the prototypes and testing titer County long until we have something that flies OAS asked if everything goes perfectly three more months for a small working prototype Violet looked serious but everything never goes perfectly there will be failures Mr Wright many failures before success OAS nodded trying to look confident we have the best team and the most resources we can do This
as he left the building that night OAS looked up at the stars Somewhere Out There Elon musk's team was working too probably faster definitely with more experience but OAS had something to prove now not just to Elon or to the world but to himself to his bored to his daughter he would not fail OAS repeated those words to himself every morning as he drove to work they became his Mantra during long meetings his promise when doubt crept in at night For the next two months progress was steady Violet's team built small models of the aircraft
and tested them in Wind tunnels they developed new battery systems that were lighter and more powerful than anything right Technologies had made before OAS made sure they had everything they needed when Violet asked for a specialized testing facility he bought a warehouse and had it converted in just 3 weeks when she needed rare materials he found Them no matter the cost the board watched nervously as millions of dollars went into the project but they couldn't argue with the results the small prototypes were working the designs looked promising maybe just maybe they had a chance then
came the day of the first major test today we'll test the full-size Engine violet told OAS as they walked through the massive hanger where the team worked if it works we're on Schedule if not she didn't finish the sentence OAS nodded trying to look confident for the dozens of Engineers watching them it will work I believe in your team the test engine sat in a reinforced chamber at the far end of the hanger it didn't look like much to OAS just a complicated tangle of metal and wires but he knew that inside was Violet's revolutionary
design that might give them an edge over Elon Musk everyone Gathered behind a thick safety wall Violet's voice was calm as she counted down three two 1 ignition for a moment nothing happened then the engine hummed to life blue light glowed from within it the engineers cheered power at 10% called out a technician 20% 30 the hum grew louder the blue light brighter 50% 60 a small alarm began to beat on one of The monitors Violet frowned what's that OAS asked temperatur Rising too fast she replied her eyes fixed on the screen cut the test
she told the technician 70% can't cut it systems not responding everyone down Violet shouted OAS barely had time to duck before a deafening boom shook the building the safety glass cracked above them when he looked up the test chamber was filled with smoke and Flames the sprinkler system kicked in dousing the fire no one was hurt but the Engine was destroyed along with half the testing equipment in the chamber what happened OAS asked as they surveyed the damage Violet shook her head could be several things we'll need to analyze the data but this puts us
back at least 4 weeks 4 weeks they didn't have the Challen challenge had a deadline Elon Musk wasn't going to I wait the media had a field day with the story someone inside W Technologies had leaked a video of the explosion and it was playing on Repeat on business channels wri's wrong move read the headlines late night show hosts made jokes about oas's challenge meanwhile rumors spread that elon's team was making steady progress some tech blogs reported they had already completed successful engine tests Violet was undeterred this is normal in Innovation she told the team
the next day we learn from failure now we know what doesn't work and that gets us closer to what Does her confidence helped keep the team motivated they worked even longer hours determined to make up for lost time but the board wasn't so understanding Patrice called an emergency meeting this has gone far enough she told OAS her voice tight with anger the explosion has knocked another 15% off our stock price investors are nervous and now we have a whistleblower sending videos to the press it was one setback OAS argued every big project has them Marcus
Leong Cleared his throat it's more than a setback it's proof that this whole challenge was a mistake from the beginning we need to end this madness apologize to musk say it was all a publicity stunt and let's move on before you destroy this company I can't back down now OAS insisted looking around the table for support he found none then we'll remove you Marcus threatened leaning forward the board can vote you out as CEO if you're acting against the Company's interests think about that OAS for the first time in his life OAS felt truly scared
everything he had built was slipping away his company his reputation his legacy the meeting ended without a vote but the threat hung in the air OAS had one month to show real progress or he would lose everything that night he couldn't sleep he walked through his mansion feeling like a stranger in his own home the rooms felt too big too empty what was The point of all this wealth if he lost the company he'd spent his life building at dawn he found Zara in the kitchen making coffee before school can't sleep either she asked her
voice softer than it had been in weeks OAS shook his head they sat in silence for a moment the only sound the quiet drip of the coffee maker why is beating him so important dad Zara finally asked OAS had no simple answer he thought about it for a long Time before speaking I've always been the underdog he said at last people look at Elon like he's some kind of Genius I just wanted to prove that I belong in the same conversation even if it costs you everything the question hung in the air between them OAS
had no good answer but as he drove to work that morning a new thought began to form in his mind maybe the problem wasn't with his team or with the project Itself maybe it was with the whole approach maybe it was time to change the game entirely the thought stayed with OAS all morning by lunch it had grown from a Tiny Seed into something that fell like hope he cancelled his afternoon meetings and went straight to Violet's office I need to talk to you he said closing the door behind him in private Violet looked up
from her computer papers and diagrams covered every Surface of her small office a half-eaten sandwich sat forgotten next to her keyboard is this about the board she asked I heard they're not happy the board is threatening to remove move me as CEO ozas admitted sitting down across from her but that's not why I'm here I've been thinking about our approach to this challenge we're already changing the engine design based on what we learned from the failure Violet said the team is working around the clock it's Not the engine I'm worried about it's the whole concept
OAS leaned forward lowering his voice even though they were alone we can't beat Elon at his own game he has more experience with electric vehicles and more resources so we quit Violet asked looking disappointed no oiah said his eyes bright with new determination we changed the game what if instead of competing with traditional aircraft we created something entirely New Violet's expression shifted from disappointment to curiosity what did you have in mind I'm not sure yet that's why I need your help but I'm thinking about something smaller more practical something that solves real problems not just
a bigger faster plain violets eyes lit up you mean like a hybrid something between a drone and an aircraft exactly ozas snapped his fingers something more efficient efficient and more practical for Everyday use Violet stood up and walked to her whiteboard already sketching rough designs we could create a network of small electric vehicles that could take off and land vertically no need for long runways like air taxis ozas asked getting excited yes but autonomous self-flying Violet's hand moved quickly across the board they could communicate with each other to avoid collisions use less Energy than a
full-size aircraft be affordable for regular people not just the super rich ozas joined her at the Whiteboard pointing to her sketch could they be modular so they could carry different numbers of people or amounts of cargo absolutely Violet added to her drawing and they could connect to ground transportation seamlessly imagine stepping into one of These near your home flying over all the traffic and Landing right at your office they worked through the afternoon and into the evening sketching designs and running rough calculations by the time the cleaning crew arrived the Whiteboard was filled with ideas
and the beginnings of a plan this could actually work Violet said her voice full of excitement and IT addresses real problemss like traffic congestion and carbon emissions for the first time since the challenge Began OAS felt true purpose Beyond just beating Elon Musk this wasn't about ego anymore this was about creating something that could genuinely improve people's lives we need to keep this quiet he told Violet if the board knew we were changing direction they might shut us down before we can prove it will work what about the rest of the team we'll need some
of them but not everyone pick the ones you trust the most the ones who Can keep a secret and who have the skills we need Violet nodded I know just the people the next day they gathered a small group in a conference room far from the main project floor Violet explained the New Concept while OAS watched their reactions most looked excited by the change a few looked skeptical what about the original aircraft project asked Rahul one of the Senior Engineers do we just abandon all that work no ozas said that's our cover we'll keep a
small team working on it making just enough progress to keep the board satisfied meanwhile our real Focus will be on these air taxis we're calling it project Phoenix Violet added because it's rising from the ashes of our failed first attempt they spent the rest of the day organizing into teams and assigning roles Violet would lead the overall Design Rahul would handle propulsion May a software engineer who had previously worked on autonomous cars would develop the navigation system to keep their new Direction secret they set up a separate workspace in a building OAS owned across town
only those working directly on Project Phoenix knew its location meanwhile to keep the board and the public distracted they continued work on the original aircraft design they made small improvements and ran regular tests Knowing it would never fly whenever reporters asked about progress OAS gave vague but positive answers we're exploring multiple approaches he would say Innovation often comes from unexpected directions for the next few weeks aias split his time between his regular CEO duties checking on the decoy aircraft project and sneaking away to work with the Phoenix team he hadn't felt this energized in years
this wasn't just about saving his Company anymore it was about creating something he truly believed in even his relationship with Zara began to to improve she noticed the change in him though she didn't know the reason you seem different she said one night at dinner less stressed OAS smiled I'm seeing things more clearly now he wanted to tell her about project Phoenix but it was too risky the fewer people who knew the better even Melody his trusted assistant only knew that he was working On a special project she covered for his absences and kept his
schedule clear when he needed to be with the Phoenix team the Prototype Air Taxi began to take shape surprisingly quickly without the bureaucracy of the larger company slowing them down the small team made rapid progress within a month they had built a 1-3 scale model that could hover for short periods it's working better than I expected Violet told OAS as they watched the model gently land on the Workshop floor but we still have major challenges ahead the full-size version will need much more power and the navigation system has to be foolproof OAS nodded whatever resources
you need just ask this is our future now what he didn't say was that it might be their only future the board was growing more impatient by the day the stock price continued to fall and r rumors were spreading that Elon musk's aircraft project was nearing completion the Clock Was ticking they had four months left until the challenge deadline but for the first time OAS believed they might actually have a chance to win what he didn't know was that there was a spy on his team reporting every move back to those who wanted him to
fail Liam Foster had joined W Technologies just 6 months ago he was brilliant with degrees from MIT and three years at a leading drone company his resume was perfect almost Too perfect what no one knew was that Marcus Leong had personally recruited him with a very specific task keep an eye on oas's project and report back everything at first Liam had agreed because he truly believed o 's challenge was Reckless the company employed thousands of people their jobs and families depended on right Technologies surviving if OAS lost the company to Elon Musk because of his
ego all those people would Suffer I'm not asking you to sabotage anything Marcus had told him during their secret meeting just keep me informed think of it as protecting the company it had seemed reasonable then but as Liam became part of the Phoenix team things got complicated the air taxi concept wasn't just a billionaires vanity project it could genuinely help millions of people it could reduce traffic cut pollution and make Transportation easier for everyone and OAS wasn't at all what Liam had expected the billionaire worked alongside everyone else rolled up his sleeves and even brought
coffee for the team during the late nights he seemed truly passionate about creating something good not just beating Elon Musk Liam found himself holding back information in his reports to Marcus he mentioned progress on the air taxi but left out key breakthroughs he downplayed how well the prototypes were Working it felt wrong to undermine something that could be so important one night working late Liam was alone in the workshop when violet and OAS came in not wanting to interrupt he stayed quiet behind a large piece of equipment where he'd been making adjustments the latest battery
test results are amazing Violet was saying showing OAS a tablet with this energy density the air taxis could have a range of over 100 Mil on a single charge this Could change everything Violet said excitedly not just win a challenge I know ozas replied his voice soft and sincere I'm starting to think that's more important than beating Elon Liam was surprised by oas's sincerity this wasn't the ego-driven billionaire portrayed in the media what happens if we lose the challenge but still create something revolutionary osias asked Violet Shrugged then we lose the company but change the
world is that A fair trade a month ago I would have said no OAS admitted now I'm not so sure they left soon after still deep in conversation Liam sat alone in the dim Workshop thinking about what he'd heard he had a report due to Marcus tomorrow what would he say the next morning Marcus called him I need more information about this secret project he demanded the board meeting is tomorrow and I need ammunition ammunition Liam asked feeling Uncomfortable to convince them to end this madness and remove OAS before he destroys the company Marcus said
impatiently what exactly are they working on over there Liam made his choice I need to see you in person they met in a coffee shop far from right Technologies Marcus looked annoyed as Liam sat down while why all the secrecy just tell me what they're building I can't do this anymore Liam said firmly I'm done spying for you Marcus's face darkened we had an agreement your job depends on it fire me then Liam challenged but I'm going to OAS to tell him everything you wouldn't dare Marcus hissed but Liam was already standing you're the one
who's putting the company at risk not OAS he's creating something that could be huge for right Technologies he left Marcus sputtering in the coffee shop and drove straight to project Phoenix's Workshop he found OAS Reviewing designs with Violet I need to speak with you Liam said his heart pounding alone surprised OAS followed him to a quiet Corner Liam took a deep breath and confessed everything how Marcus had recruited him what information he'd shared and most importantly what he'd held back Marcus has been working against you from the start Liam explained his words tumbling out he's
been feeding information to your competitors and trying to turn the Board against you he expected anger maybe even security guards escorting him out instead OAS was quiet thoughtful why are you you telling me this now he finally asked because what we're building matters Liam said simply it's bigger than office politics or some rivalry with Elon Musk and you deserve to know who you can trust instead of firing Liam OAS thanked him for his honesty we all make mistakes ozas said surprising Liam with his Calmness what matters is learning from them that afternoon OAS called Liam
into his office again but this time Violet Melody and raahul were there too we need a plan OAS told them Marcus is making his move tomorrow at the board meeting he's going to try to shut us down and take control of the company can he do that Rahul asked with enough board votes yes OAS admitted which means need to show them something So impressive they can't possibly vote against us Violet shook her head the full-size prototype isn't ready we need at least another month then we'll use what we have OAS decided the scale model the
test results the whole Vision we need to make them believe they worked through the night preparing presentations Gathering data and fine tuning the scale model air taxi for a live demonstration by Dawn they were Exhausted but ready as the sun rose OAS looked at his small team of loyal supporters they had worked so hard believed in the vision when no one else did he wouldn't let them down whatever happens today he told them remember that what we're building will change the Future No One can take that away from us with new determination OAS prepared to
fight for control of his company and for project Phoenix 6 months into the challenge right Technologies seemed to be failing the stock price had fallen by 40% since oas's impulsive tweet several key Executives had resigned not wanting to go down with what they saw as a sinking ship the media had all but declared Elon Musk the winner of the challenge even though there were still 6 months to go the board meeting was scheduled for 91 a.m. in the main conference room as OAS rode the elevator up to the top floor he Practiced what he would
say this might be his last chance to save everything when he walked in the atmosphere was tense the board members sat stiffly in their chairs barely nodding as he entered Marcus Leong had a small smile on his face like he'd already won good morning OA said calmly taking his seat at the head of the table before we begin the regular agenda I'd like to share something with you Marcus cleared his throat actually we have a special Agenda item today a vote on the leadership of right Technologies Patrice Duval looked uncomfortable but nodded we're concerned about
the direction of the company OAS the challenge with Elon Musk has has led to the most exciting innovation in our company's history OAS interrupted and I'd like to show you what I mean he pressed a button on his phone the doors to the conference room opened and violet walked in with a remote control in her Hand ladies and gentlemen ozas announced standing up this is the future of right Technologies he nodded to Violet who pressed a button on her remote a soft humming sound filled the room as the Prototype Air Taxi about the size of
a coffee table flew in through the open doors it hovered smoothly above the conference table while the board members gasped the small aircraft was sleek and elegant with six rotors that were barely visible As they spun it made less noise than a desk fan as it moved in a the perfect circle above their heads Violet guided it to land gently in the center of the table this is a 1/3 scale model of our new Urban Air Mobility vehicle she explained it's fully electric autonomous and can be summoned through a smartphone app just like calling an
Uber ozas watched the board members faces change from skepticism to Amazement even Marcus looked surprised this isn't just about Beating Elon mus anymore oiah said his voice passionate it's about creating something that will genuinely improve people's lives think about it no more traffic jams no more 2-hour commutes no more pollution from Cars sitting in gridlock he walked around the table as he spoke imagine a network of these vehicles connecting every part of a city they take off and land vertically so they don't need run ways just small platforms on rooftops or in parking lots They
fly themselves so there's no pilot needed and they're electric so they're clean and quiet the board members were leaning forward now interested despite themselves this wasn't the challenge Marcus objected finding his voice you were supposed to build an electric aircraft to compete with musks and we're building something best better OAS countered meeting his gaze directly Sometimes the best way to win isn't to Play by someone else's rules but to change the game entirely he then pulled out a folder and placed it on the table and speaking of rules I think the board should know that
Marcus has been actively working against this company's interests Marcus's face went pale that's a lie is it oai opened the folder and passed around copies of emails and meeting records these show that Marcus has been feeding information to our competitors he's been meeting secretly With investors encouraging them to sell their shares and he recruited an employee to spy on our project the board members flipped through the documents their expressions darkening I can explain Marcus began but Patrice cut him off is this true Marcus she demanded he stammered trying to defend himself but the evidence was
clear by the end of the meeting the board had voted unanimously to remove Marcus more importantly they had given Full support to project Phoenix allocating additional funding to accelerate its development for the first time in months OAS left the office feeling hopeful the right Technology stock had already risen 5% as rumors of a new project spread through the financial world when he got home that evening he found Zara waiting in the living room I heard about the Prototype she said as soon as he walked in Melody called me Dad it's amazing you Really think so
he asked setting down his briefcase it's more than amazing it's important she stood up and hugged him something she had done in months I'm proud of you those four simple words meant more to OAS than any business success ever had over dinner he explained the full vision of project Phoenix to his daughter her eyes lit up as he described how the air taxis would work can I see It she asked eagerly the real Workshop not just the public one tomorrow he promised I'll take you there myself that night OAS slept better than he had in
months the challenge was far from over they still had to build a full-size working prototype perfect the navigation system and beat Elon musk's deadline but for the first time he believed they could do it the next morning he woke to unexpected news Elon Musk had tweeted About the challenge hearing interesting rumors about OAS wri's project innovation takes many forms looking forward to seeing what they've created jardis game on the tech World exploded with speculation what did Elon know was he worried was he planning something similar OAS didn't care he was no longer focused on beating
Elon Musk he was focused on building something revolutionary project Phoenix was Rising From the Ashes and it was time to let The world see it with 3 months left in the challenge OAS made a bold decision instead of keeping project Phoenix secret until the final reveal he would share it with the world now but we're not finished Violet cautioned during their strategy meeting the navigation systems still need work and the battery life isn't where we want it the public will understand understand it's a work in progress OAS replied what matters is the vision if we
wait until everything Is perfect someone else might beat us to market the team debated for hours some agreed with OAS that going public would build excitement and possibly attract Partners others worried about showing their hand to competitors especially Elon Musk what if he just copies our idea and Does It Better Rahul asked he has more resources then we'll have to move faster OAS said but I believe in this team and I believe in what we're building in the End they agreed to organize a major press event technology journalists industry leaders and investors were all invited
the date was set for 2 weeks later giving them time to prepare a polished presentation and make sure the Prototype worked flawlessly ly the night before the Press event OAS could barely sleep he paced around his home office rehearsing his speech and worrying about everything that could go wrong what if they hate it he asked Melody who had Come over to help him prepare what if the Prototype crashes what if Elon announces something better tomorrow morning they won't hate it she assured him because you're not doing this to show off anymore you're doing it because
you believe in it her words calmed him she was right this wasn't about him anymore it was about project Phoenix and the future it could create the next morning hundreds of people gathered in a large hanger that Had been transformed with Sleek displays and comfortable seating cameras from every major news Outlet were set up a live stream was ready to broadcast the event worldwide backstage the team was making final checks on the five air taxis that would be part of the demonstration Violet looked as nervous as oah felt everything ready he asked her she nodded
as ready as it can be the test flights went perfectly this morning Zara appeared looking elegant in a dress she'd chosen specially for the event you're going to be great dad she said giving him a quick hug at exactly 10 F am ozas walked onto the stage to Applause screens behind him lit up with the right technology logo good morning he began his voice steady despite his nerves CT 6 months ago I made a challenge that many people thought was foolish maybe it was but that challenge led us to something Unexpected something I believe will
change how we think about Transportation forever he spoke from the heart about his journey how a challenge born from Pride had evolved into a mission he truly believed in how the team had failed learned and risen stronger he didn't hide the struggles or pretend it had been easy today we're not just unveiling a new product he told the audience we're introducing a new way of thinking about Transportation A system That could end traffic congestion reduce pollution and give people back hours of their lives every day the screens behind him changed to show renderings of cities
with air taxis moving smoothly between buildings then came technical specifications safety features and plans for implementation but you didn't come here just to see pictures OA said with a smile you came to see if this is real he pressed a button on his remote And the massive doors at the far end of the hanger began to open sunlight streamed in and the crowd turned to look five air taxis flew information through the opening they were beautiful machines sleek and modern gliding almost silently above the audience they moved in perfect coordination demonstrating their agility and precision
the crowd gasped then erupted in Applause camera flashes lit up the room as the air taxis performed their choreographed routine Ending by Landing smoothly on stage ladies and gentlemen OAS announced project Phoenix the rest of the presentation was a blur of questions demonstrations and explanations Violet and the team showed how the air taxis worked their safety features and how the network would operate journalists clamored for more information information investors approached with business cards and eager Expressions the response was Overwhelming within hours social media exploded with excitement project Phoenix and fodrey Wright Air Taxi were trending
worldwide Wright Technology's stock price soared nearly 30% by market close and most surprisingly Elon Musk himself tweeted impressive work by OAS wri and team this is the kind of innovation our world needs looking forward to seeing the final product Game Changer that single tweet changed everything suddenly OAS wasn't elon's Rival he was a fellow innovator working toward a better future back at home that evening the team gathered to celebrate champagne flowed as they watched news coverage of their presentation playing on every channel we did it Violet said raising her glass in a toast and this
is just the beginning Zara hugged her father tightly I'm proud of you Dad not because you might beat Elon Musk but because you found something worth fighting for ozas felt a piece he hadn't Known in years the challenge wasn't over they still had three months until the deadline and much work remained but something fundamental had changed he no longer feared losing to Elon Musk because he had already won something more important he had found his purpose again as the celebration continued around him OAS stepped outside for a moment of quiet looking up at the stars
he imagined a future where air taxis filled the sky making the world smaller Cleaner and more connected whatever happened with the challenge now project Phoenix would fly with public opinion now in their favor OAS and his team worked around the clock to perfect their Air Taxi system for the challenge deadline the successful demonstration had bought them Goodwill but they still needed to deliver a fully functional product by the end of the three remaining months success brought new problems investors Who had previously abandoned right Technologies now wanted back in Venture capitalists called daily offering funding in
exchange for exclusive Partnerships competitors started filing patents for similar Concepts hoping to claim they had the idea first we need to focus Violet reminded everyone during their morning meeting all this attention is great but we still have major technical challenges to solve she was right The biggest problem was the navigation system the air taxis needed to communicate with each other to avoid collisions in urban environments during the demonstration they had been pre-programmed to follow specific paths but in the real world they would need to make split-second decisions based on changing conditions every simulation ended in
disaster when they added more than 10 air taxis to a virtual City crashes became inevitable The algorithms just couldn't process all the variables fast enough tension mounted as the deadline approached team members began arguing over the best approach some wanted to simplify the system and reduce the number of air taxis that could fly simultaneously others pushed for more powerful computers that could handle the complex calculations OAS found himself playing Peacemaker which was unfamiliar territory story for a man used to giving Orders everyone's ideas have Merit he told the exhausted team one night let's take a
step back and remember what we're trying to accomplish here he ordered food and insisted everyone take a break as they ate pizza in the conference room the conversation shifted from technical details to personal stories Rahul talked about his grandfather who had to walk 5 miles to work each day May described the terrible traffic in her hometown that turned a 10m commute Into a 2hour ordeal that's why what we're doing matters OAS said quietly not because of some challenge or deadline but because it could make life better for people like your grandfather and neighbors the break
seemed to reset everyone's thinking the next day they approached the navigation problem with freshh eyes with just 2 weeks left before the challenge deadline they hit a breakthrough Liam Foster the former spy Who had now become one of their most valuable team members had been working late one night when he had an Insight we've been thinking about this all wrong he told the team the next morning we're trying to make each Air Taxi independently smart enough to navigate the whole system but what if they shared information in real time like a hive mind he showed
them an algorithm he' developed that allowed each air taxi to handle its immediate surroundings while Contributing data to a central system that managed the overall traffic flow it's not perfect he warned but it works testing confirmed it the air taxis could Now navigate complex environments with minimal risk of collision not only that but the system actually became more stable as more Vehicles joined the network each new Air Taxi added processing power and sensor data that benefited the whole the final piece of the puzzle was In place as the team celebrated OAS received an unexpected call
to his surprise it was Elon Musk I've been following your progress Elon said without Preamble The Air Taxi concept is impressive thank you OAS replied uncertain where this was going I'm impressed with what you've accomplished Elon continued but I have to ask why did you really challenge me it was the question OAS had been avoiding for months but now he had an Honest answer at first it was about ego he admitted I was tired of living in your Shadow but now it's about proving something to myself not to you or anyone else I understand that
better than most Elon replied the best Innovations often come from surprising places see you at the challenge finale the call left OAS thoughtful the man he had seen as a rival for so long now seemed more like a colleague another innovator trying to push the boundaries of what's possible With one week left the team worked non-stop to finalize every detail the full-size air taxis were complet completed and tested extensively the navigation system was refined and hardened against potential failures safety features were tested and retested even as they focused on the technology OAS made sure they
didn't neglect the human element they designed a simple smartphone app that anyone could use to summon an air taxi they created Comfortable Interiors with accessibility features for elderly and disabled passengers they even added small touches like USB charging ports and cup holders people won't use it if it's not convenient OAS insisted technology should serve people not the other way around the night before the challenge deadline the team gathered for one final test five air taxis would fly a complex route through the city navigating around Buildings and each other while carrying test passengers Zara insist Ed
on being one of the passengers I believe in you Dad she said as she climbed into one of the Sleek vehicles and I believe in Project Phoenix OAS watched anxiously as the air taxis took off they moved smoothly through the night sky their lights blinking as they communicated with each other when they landed safely 20 minutes later the team erupted in cheers they Had done it against all odds they had created something revolutionary in just one year as the team celebrated OAS stood apart looking up at the stars he thought about how far they had
come not just in building the air taxis but in finding a purpose that transcended competition Melody joined him nervous about tomorrow she asked not anymore OAS replied truthfully whatever happens at the challenge finale we've built something Important something that matters and you've changed she observed the OAS who made that challenge a year ago wouldn't recognize the man you are now she was right the challenge had transformed him as much as he had transformed right Technologies he had learned humility collaboration and what truly mattered tomorrow he would face Elon Musk at the global technology conf conference
where both would present their Creations to the world but tonight under the vast Sky Filled with stars OAS right was at peace the day of the challenge finale arrived with perfect blue skies the global technology conference was being held in a massive Convention Center downtown journalists from around the world had gathered to witness the conclusion of what many now called the Billionaire's bet backstage OAS paced nervously his entire team was there along with Zara and Melody so much had changed since he impulsively posted that challenge a year Ago no matter what happens today he told
his team what we've built together is something to be proud of they gathered in a circle hands stacked on top of each other like a sports team before a game Phoenix they shouted together then laughed at their own enthusiasm according to the schedule Elon would present first OAS waited in the wings as the famous entrepreneur took the stage to thunderous Applause elon's electric aircraft was Impressive larger than oas's air taxis with greater range and higher passenger capacity it looked like a Sleek private jet but ran entirely on electric power during his presentation Elon explained how
it could fly from Los Angeles to San Francisco without recharging carrying up to 12 passengers in luxury the crowd applauded enthusiastically several journalists were already declaring Elon the winner on social media how could WR technology Smaller air taxis compete with this Marvel of engineering then it was oas's turn as he walked onto the stage he felt strangely calm this wasn't about winning anymore it was about sharing their Vision the five air taxis performed flawlessly demonstrating their agility and practical applications for everyday Transportation they flew through a simulated City environment set up on stage navigating around
obstacles and each other with Precision One landed on A small platform barely bigger than itself showing how it could access spaces no traditional aircraft could reach OAS explained their vision for a network that could serve everyone not just the wealthy how the air taxis could reduce traffic congestion cut pollution and make cities more livable how they could be summoned with a simple app and cost about the same as a premium ride share service this isn't about replacing Planes he concluded it's about reimagining how we move within our communities every day the audience was equally impressed
with this presentation giving OAS a standing ovation as he finished when both presentations were complete Elon and OAS stood Center Stage for the judge's decision a panel of respected Tech leaders and Aviation experts would declare the winner of the challenge before they announce anything Elon said unexpectedly taking the Microphone I have something to say the room fell s Island a year ago OAS right challenged me because he felt overlooked in an industry that often focuses too much on personalities and not enough on Innovation today he's shown that great ideas can come from anywhere and that
competition can drive us all to be better ozas was stunned by these generous Words As for the terms of our challenge Elon continued I never intended to take right technology IES That was just to ensure we both gave this our best effort the real purpose was to push the boundaries of electric transportation which we've both done in different ways the audience erupted in Applause OAS stepped forward to shake elon's hand overwhelmed with emotion thank you he said simply the judges declared it a tie recognizing that both approaches to Electric aircraft had Merit and potential elon's
design excelled for longer trips between cities While oas's air taxis were perfect for urban Transportation together they represented a complete vision for the future of electric flight AS reporters swarmed the stage Violet pulled OAS aside there's something you need to know she said urgently something about the navigation system her expression was serious enough to worry him what is it the algorithm that makes our air taxis work so well we didn't create it from scratch the Foundation came from an open-source project that elon's company released 3 years ago OAS felt like the floor had dropped out
from under him are you saying yes Violet confirmed in a way we built our success on elon's work he knows it too that's the real reason he was so gracious just now she explained that when they were struggling with the navigation problem Liam had found the open-source code online it had been released by one of Elon's smaller companies for drone navigation they had modified it extensively but the core principles were the same why didn't you tell me sooner OAS asked his mind racing at first I didn't realize it myself Violet admitted Liam connected the dots
yesterday and told me this morning he was afraid to tell you before the presentation OAS looked across the stage where Elon was giving interviews then back at his own team Celebrating their success the truth hit him like a thunderbolt his challenge born from jealousy and rivalry had led him full circle in trying to prove himself elon's equal he had unknowingly built upon the man's work it it was the ultimate irony and the most important lesson of his life Innovation wasn't about one brilliant person working alone it was about building on each other's ideas standing on
the shoulders of those who came before even Elon Musk whom he Had envied and challenged had built his success on others foundations reporters were calling oas's name now eager for interviews he had a choice to make he could keep quiet about the algorithm's origins and let everyone believe right Technologies had developed everything independently or he could tell the truth and risk embarrassment a year ago the choice would have been obvious he would have Protected his ego at all costs but he was a different person now as Zara approached through the crowd OAS made his decision
he would tell the truth not just because it was right but because it was the final step in his own transformation ready for the press conference Zara asked reaching his side almost OAS replied there's something I need to do first he walked across the stage to where Elon stood surrounded by journalists could we talk privately for A moment he asked Elon nodded and they stepped away from the crowd I just learned learned about the navigation algorithm OAS said quietly I want to publicly acknowledge that we built on your work Elon smiled I wondered if you
knew I'm going to tell everyone at the press conference that takes courage Elon said extending his hand but that's what real Innovation requires not just technical Skill but honesty and humility too as they shook hands OAS felt a weight lift from his shoulders the challenge that had begun with pride was ending with something much more valuable wisdom that night after the media frenzy had died down ozas sat alone in his hotel room the Revelation about the navigation algorithm weighed heavily on him even though he had decided to tell the truth he was still nervous about
how the world would react would people mock Him would the tie be reversed with Elon declared the AP fee winner would WR Technology's stock crash when investors learned they hadn't developed everything independently a knock at the door interrupted his thoughts it was Zara everyone celebrating downstairs she said poking her head in why are you up here alone I needed some quiet time to think he replied she came in and sat beside him on the couch about what OAS told her What he had learned about the algorithm so what will you do she asked when he
finished what would you do he countered genuinely curious Zara didn't hesitate I'd tell the truth the person you were a year ago might have kept it secret but not the person you are now her faith in him brought tears to his eyes when did you get so wise I had a good teacher she smiled recently anyway they sat together for a While talking about the future Zara shared her idea of studying aerospace engineering in college maybe I could join the Phoenix team someday she said nothing would make me prouder OA replied the next morning OAS
called a press conference with his team standing behind him he explained that their navigation system had been built upon open- source code originally developed by one of Elon musk's companies Innovation is rarely about inventing something from nothing He told the reporters more often it's about standing on the shoulders of those who came before us and seeing a little further that's what we did the does this mean Elon Musk actually won the challenge asked one reporter I don't think it's that simple OAS replied we took something wonderful and made it work in a new way that's
how progress happens not through competition but through collaboration even when we don't realize We're collaborating the media reaction was mixed some praised his honesty While others mocked him for challenging ELO on only to use his technology but to oas's surprise right Technology's stock held steady investors cared more about the potential of the air taxis than about who deserved credit for every component that afternoon Elon Musk posted online this is how progress works We build on each other's ideas looking forward to seeing right Technologies air taxis in cities around the world open source wins with that
simple message The Narrative changed instead of a rivalry the challenge became a story about collaboration and the power of open-source Innovation over the next few days OAS received hundreds of messages from Engineers students and entrepreneurs many shared stories of how they had Built on others work but had been afraid to admit it his honesty had had given them permission to acknowledge their own sources of inspiration back at WR Technologies the board had arranged a special meeting to discuss the future of project Phoenix OAS arrived prepared for tough questions about the algorithm instead Patrice Duval greeted
him with a smile the pre-orders are flooding in she told him City governments Transportation Companies even private individuals everyone wants are air taxis even after the Revelation about the algorithm OAS asked especially after replied another board member your honesty increased public trust and Elon musk's endorsement didn't hurt either the board unanimously approved full production of the air taxis with Violet as the new Chief technology officer for the Phoenix division they also approved oas's proposal to make their own improvements To to the navigation system open source continuing the cycle of innovation as the meeting ended Patrice
took OAS aside I was wrong about you she admitted when you first made that challenge I thought it was just ego but you've become a different kind of leader I am different OAS agreed the challenge changed me more than I changed the company on his way home OAS stopped at the Phoenix Workshop the team was already working on improvements Based on Data from the demonstration flights we're adding a new safety feature Liam explained showing osus the plans and may figured out how to extend the battery life by another 20% great work oiah said but make
sure everyone gets some rest too we've won the race now we need to build something that lasts that weekend o took Zara hiking on a trail they had often visited when she was younger at the summit with Fabu the city spread out below them he pointed to the skyline Someday soon our air taxis will be flying up there he said and it all started because I was jealous of another man's success sometimes good things come from mistakes Zara replied as long as you learn from them ozas put his arm around his daughter's shoulders the wisest
thing I've heard all day as they headed back down the trail OAS thought about the choice he had made to tell the truth it hadn't been easy But it had been right and that he was learning was What mattered most his phone buzzed with a message from Violet big news call me when you can whatever was next for project Phoenix OAS was ready not as a man desperate to prove himself but as a leader who had found his true purpose the challenge had given him much more than he had ever expected not victory over arriv
Ral but victory over his own Pride one year after the challenge ended Wri Technologies launched its first commercial air taxi service in a major city the Sleek Vehicles now officially named Phoenix Flyers began regular routes between key locations across town the mayor who had been an early supporter was the first official passenger OAS stood on the rooftop of wri Technology's headquarters watching the air taxis rise and land on designated platforms each one carried a small right Technologies logo and the Phoenix emblem a stylized bird Rising with wings outstretched the past year had been the busiest
of his life turning a prototype into a commercial product had required thousands of hours of testing refinements and Regulatory approvals there had been setbacks and frustrations but nothing like the despair he had felt during those early months of the challenge Violet Chen was now the chief technology officer and Liam Foster led the software division They had expanded the team to over 300 engineers and Specialists together they had made the air taxis safer more efficient and easier to use than anyone had thought possible OAS had changed too he spent less time in the spotlight and more
time mentoring young Engineers he visited schools to talk about Innovation and the importance of collaboration most importantly he and Zara had never been Closer she was now studying Engineering in college with plans to eventually join the family business looking good isn't it Melody said joining him at the edge of the roof she had been promoted to Chief Operating Officer after her years of loyal service and exceptional work during the challenge better than I ever imagined ozas replied watching an air taxi Glide silently over the city park the waiting list for rides is over 20,000 people
Melody told him and three More cities have signed contracts to start their own networks next year at the launch event that morning a reporter had asked OAS looking back do you regret challenging Elon Musk OAS had smiled I regretted it immediately after I did it but now it was the best mistake I ever made and he meant it that impulsive tweet born from jealousy and insecurity had led to the most meaningful work of his life it had repaired his relationship with His daughter it had taught him humility and the value of collaboration it had given
him purpose Beyond wealth and status after the launch ceremonies ended OAS found a quiet moment alone on the roof of the right Technologies building watching the air taxis flying across the city skyline each one represented thousands of hours of problem solving creativity and teamwork each one would help people move more freely through their world a helicopter approached and Landed nearby to his surprise Elon Musk stepped out impressive launch Elon said walking over to join him thanks for coming OAS replied genuinely pleased to see him and for being so gracious about everything they stood in comfortable
silence for a moment watching the air taxis navigate between buildings can I tell you something Elon asked something no one else knows OAS nodded curious that open- Source navigation code you used I didn't Create it either one of my Engineers found it in an obscure University research project and we developed it further that's how Innovation really works it's a relay race not a solo Journey OAS laughed all this time he had been so focused on the competition between them that he had missed the bigger picture no one created anything truly great alone even the greatest
innovators built on the work of others we should collaborate on Something Elon suggested combine your air taxis with some of my technology we could create something even better together as they discussed possibilities OAS realized the true lesson of the past two years success wasn't about beating others or proving himself better it was about creating something meaningful and being willing to learn from anyone even a rival later that day OAS took Zara for The first official family ride in a phoenix flyer as they soared above the city she looked out the window with Wonder it's amazing
to think this all started with you trying to one up Elon Musk she said with a laugh and ended with me learning I had it all wrong OAS replied competition has its place but collaboration takes us further the air taxi banked gently giving them a panoramic view of the city below people looked up and pointed as they passed Overhead children waved excitedly what's next dad Zara asked now that Phoenix is flying I'm not sure he admitted but I know it's not about proving anything anymore it's about making a difference as the air taxi descended toward
the landing pad at their home OAS thought about how far he had come not just in creating a revolutionary technology but in becoming a better person father and leader the real challenge had never been between Him and Elon Musk it had been between the person he was and the person he could become and that was a challenge worth accepting thank you for watching I'd love to know where you're watching from today drop your location in the comments below if you enjoyed oas's Journey from rivalry to wisdom please hit that like button to help spread a
