Introduction
Elon Musk is a South African entrepreneur who founded Tesla Motors and SpaceX, which launched a historic commercial spacecraft in 2012. Elon Musk is an American entrepreneur and businessman of South African descent who created X.com in 1999 (which eventually became PayPal), SpaceX in 2002, and Tesla Motors in 2003. When he sold his start-up company, Zip2, to a division of Compaq Computers in his late twenties, Musk became a multimillionaire. Musk made news in May 2012 when he launched SpaceX, the first commercial vehicle to reach the International Space Station. Purchasing SolarCity in 2016, he expanded his portfolio and settled his position as an industry leader by serving as an adviser to President Donald Trump in the early days of his presidency. Musk reportedly eclipsed Jeff Bezos as the world's richest man in January 2021.
Early Years
Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, on June 28, 1971. Musk was so engrossed in his daydreams about inventing new things as a child that his parents and physicians demanded a hearing test. Musk became interested in computers around the time of his parent's divorce when he was ten years old. He taught himself to programme and sold his first piece of software when he was 12 years old, ''Blastar''', a game he invented. Musk was short, quiet, and bookish in elementary school. He was bullied until he was 15 when he went through a growth spurt and learned karate and wrestling to defend himself. Throughout his career, the billionaire has been the CEO of a number of firms. He was the CEO of PayPal at one point in his career, but he is now best recognised for inventing Tesla and SpaceX. During several of his partnerships, Elon has also found time to start a family. He is the father of seven children from three separate marriages.
Family
Maye Musk, Musk's mother, is a Canadian model who is the oldest woman to appear in a Covergirl commercial. Musk had to work five jobs to support her family when she was younger. Errol Musk, Musk's father, is a rich South African engineer. Musk spent his early years in South Africa with his brother Kimbal and sister Tosca. When he was ten years old, his parents divorced.
Education
Musk travelled to Canada at the age of 17 in 1989 to attend Queen's University and dodge military service in South Africa. Musk got his Canadian citizenship the same year, partly because he thought it would be easier to get American citizenship that way. Musk left Canada in 1992 to attend the University of Pennsylvania to study business and physics. He earned a bachelor's degree in economics then continued on to earn a second bachelor's degree in physics. Musk went to Stanford University in California to seek a Ph.D. in energy physics after leaving Penn. However, his decision coincided well with the Internet explosion, and he walked out of Stanford after only two days to join it, founding Zip2 Corporation in 1995. Musk became a citizen of the United States in 2002.
Space Explorations of Elon
Musk has long believed that mankind must evolve into a multiplanet species in order to survive. However, he was concerned with the high cost of rocket launchers. He created Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) in 2002 with the goal of making more economical rockets. The Falcon 1 (first launched in 2006) and the bigger Falcon 9 (first launched in 2010) were the company's first two rockets, both of which were planned to be substantially less expensive than rival rockets. The Falcon Heavy (first launched in 2018), a third rocket, was meant to lift 117,000 pounds to orbit, about twice as much as its closest competitor, the Boeing Company's Delta IV Heavy, at a third of the cost. The Super Heavy–Starship system is the successor to the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, according to SpaceX. The first stage of the Super Heavy rocket would be capable of lifting 100,000 kg into low Earth orbit. The Dragon spacecraft, which transports supplies to the International Space Station, was also created by SpaceX. (ISS).
Tesla
Musk has long been fascinated by the potential of electric vehicles, and in 2004 he became one of the primary investors in Tesla Motors (later renamed Tesla), an electric vehicle startup created by entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Musk suggested the Hyperloop in 2013, a pneumatic tube in which a pod carrying 28 passengers would traverse the 560 kilometres between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 35 minutes at a peak speed of 1,220 kilometres per hour, or roughly the speed of sound. Musk said that the Hyperloop will cost under $6 billion and that the system could accommodate the six million passengers that travel that route each year, with pods departing every two minutes on average. However, he indicated that he could not manage both SpaceX and Tesla due to lack of time.
