Elon Musk more admired as a leader than Gandhi

Millennials admire Elon Musk more than Mahatma Gandhi, a new survey reveals.

The World Economic Forum has surveyed over 1,000 people between 20- and 30-years old. The Global Shapers Annual Survey 2015 looked at what millennials from 125 countries and 285 cities would like from their careers and which leaders they admired.

The survey revealed that the Chief Executive of Tesla Motors and SpaceX is more admired among the millennials surveyed than both Mahatma Gandhi and Barack Obama, a post at the World Economic Forum reveals.

Musk was the third most admired leader in the survey. Pope Francis was second, and the former South African President Nelson Mandela was ranked as the most admired leader.
