When I see super successful people in the news I often wonder what makes them tick, and specifically if there is something in their Human Design chart that makes them different from you and me.
Elon Musk is one of those people–a successful billionaire entrepreneur running multiple companies who is actively (even aggressively) trying to move the world toward the future with luxury electric cars and ambitious plans for commercial space flight and colonizing Mars!
BACKGROUND
(this section excerpted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk)
Elon Reeve Musk, Fellow of the Royal Society, is a business magnate and investor. He holds South African, Canadian, and U.S. citizenship and is the founder, CEO, and lead designer of SpaceX; co-founder, CEO, and product architect of Tesla, Inc.; co-founder and CEO of Neuralink; and co-founder of PayPal. In December 2016, he was ranked 21st on the Forbes list of The World’s Most Powerful People. As of August 2018, he has a net worth of $20.2 billion and is listed by Forbes as the 46th-richest person in the world.
Born in Pretoria, South Africa, Musk taught himself computer programming at the age of 10. He moved to Canada when he was 17 to attend Queen’s University. He transferred to the University of Pennsylvania two years later, where he received an economics degree from the Wharton School and a degree in physics from the College of Arts and Sciences. He began a Ph.D. in applied physics and material sciences at Stanford University in 1995 but dropped out after two days to pursue an entrepreneurial career. He subsequently co-founded Zip2, a web software company, which was acquired by Compaq for $340 million in 1999. Musk then founded X.com, an online bank. It merged with Confinity in 2000 and became PayPal, which was bought by eBay for $1.5 billion in October 2002.
In May 2002, Musk founded SpaceX, an aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company, of which he is CEO and lead designer. He helped fund Tesla, Inc., an electric vehicle and solar panel manufacturer, in 2003, and became its CEO and product architect. In 2006, he inspired the creation of SolarCity, a solar energy services company that is now a subsidiary of Tesla, and operates as its chairman. In 2015, Musk co-founded OpenAI, a nonprofit research company that aims to promote friendly artificial intelligence. In July 2016, he co-founded Neuralink, a neurotechnology company focused on developing brain–computer interfaces, and is its CEO. In December 2016, Musk founded The Boring Company, an infrastructure and tunnel-construction company.
In addition to his primary business pursuits, Musk has envisioned a high-speed transportation system known as the Hyperloop, and has proposed a vertical take-off and landing supersonic jet electric aircraft with electric fan propulsion, known as the Musk electric jet. Musk has stated that the goals of SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity revolve around his vision to change the world and humanity. His goals include reducing global warming through sustainable energy production and consumption and reducing the “risk of human extinction” by establishing a human colony on Mars.
(this section written by me, based on Dawson Church’s new book Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality*)
I was fascinated recently to read Dawson Church’s view of Elon Musk, who calls him “one person whose personal vision has reshaped entire industries.” Dawson sums up his example of Musk as someone who successfully uses his mind to alter reality by saying, “Musk’s mind-set is relentlessly positive, whatever the challenge. His mind has been the source of multiple game-changing material realities.”

CHART & CHART REVIEW
Below is Elon’s Human Design chart and my audio recording of a quick overview of his chart. The recording is not intended to be a thorough Reading –I could talk for several hours about a chart! I’ve simply pulled key aspects of this chart that really illuminate why he is the way he is.

Great information. Even I as a projector received good information about some of my centers.
Thank you!
Thanks so much, Evelyn! Your readings are always so adroit and helpful. You stimulated me to look closer, and what especially stood out for me is that completely open Heart Center with it’s only possible activation (other than a complete channel transit or relationship) through the Money Channel with his Personality Venus in the 45 and his Chiron in the 21. It made sense to me that he might be “wired” or vulnerable to “prove” himself through that particular tribal expressions; that his inventions, energy, drive, ingenuity might powerfully show up through that financial expression. Also, I love looking at people’s Jupiters, what might be amplified in the chart. He just seems even further creatively resourced (14) to focus (9) on his innate ability to energize (34-20) his concentration and determination (9-52) towards exquisite precision (18-58) regarding things that center/ground him and substantiate his capacity for presence (Personality Sun (52)). You’re right, there is so much more to say. You’ve inspired me! Keep ’em coming!! Fun! THANKS!!!!!!
Great insights, Laura. Thank you!
Wow! I really enjoyed your brief mp3 on his birth chart. I too am a generator manifester with a 3/5 profile & 20-39 channel and I really liked how you explained them. I have a sacral authority I’m currently working with getting back to fully being more attuned to. I also like what you said about the planets as I study astrology and have recently been studying H.D. My Chiron is in the same gate as we are born in the same year, you’re the only one so far that has mentioned it in H.D. so thank and for sharing that and what Mercury shows, as well. I’m going to have a look around your website as this is my 1st visit. 😁
Hi Evelyn,
I like what you say about Gate 3. That ii is mutative. But doesn’t that account for all individual gates? Or especially for Gate 3?

Hi Evelin,
This is great. However, on the bodygraph the heart center is open. Yet, the definitions on the side say that gate 21 is defined both, on the design and the personality side. That will make the heart defined because gate 45 is also defined. Could you please check?
Thank you for your keen eye and attention to detail, Milena. The Gate 21 in Elon’s chart is activated by Chiron, not one of the regular planets. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is used in astrology and Human Design, though most HD practitioners don’t print it on the chart or use it in readings. I do both because it represents what our soul came into this life to master, so I find it extremely useful and relevant in personal readings. Because it is an energy that operates at the soul level, not the earth-plane level, the gates activated by Chiron DO NOT GET COLORED IN ON THE CHART. Therefore, they don’t complete channels or define centers. This explains why his chart has the Heart Center open despite having his Chiron in Gate 21.
Wonderful and informative. Thank you!
Just in the middle of listening to his interview with Joe Rogan now… this is very illuminating to know as I listen! Thank you!
