三月疯狂中,我们创造了我们自己的bracket of the 64 best living, historical and fictional entrepreneurs ever. Now, after three weeks of voting, you've picked your favorite entrepreneur of all time: Elon Musk. And while there were plenty of great contenders in our bracket -- from Vito Corleone to Jeff Bezos to runner up Henry Ford -- it makes sense that the Tesla and SpaceX founder is the last entrepreneur standing.

Musk's brand has never been more popular. Tesla recently surpassed GM to become themost valuable company in America.SpaceX is planning to launch arevolutionary rocket this summer.EvenMusk's tweets of farting unicornsare now big news.

He's one of the wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet, and he's only 45 years old. Who knows what he'll come up with next.
