ELON MUSK : THE EXTRAORDINARY

Aborigine of South Africa, born to a model and dietician mother and an electromechanical engineer father.

But the marriage didn’t go hand in hand, at a very young age ELON faced this aberration and father took the responsibility of ELON, he mostly lived with him.
He developed an interest in computers during his childhood
.He  learned some computer programming by himself and used to sell the code for a video game he had created own his own and named it Blastar for $500, to a magazine called PC and Office Technology.
ELON was bullied a lot during his childhood due to his conditions and had to abase himself a lot
Even though he was hospitalized when he was thrown down a flight of stairs and then beaten until he blacked out and made it exacerbate for him to live happily thereafter. This was abhorrent and abominable behavior but ELON never gave up he continued to do his work because he knew one day his fate will shine and he would become successful…
After graduating from a secondary school in Pretoria, ELON left his home, and left for United States. Without any kind of aid from friends or his parents!!! Although, he didn’t get into the United States right away!
He first moved to Canada to the relatives of his mother in 1989 and attained a Canadian citizenship and moved to Montreal. He began with extremely low paid jobs and somehow survived at the brink of poverty. At the age of 19, he moved to Queens University (Ontario).
ELON Musk studied for two years in Ontario and then, finally, got the opportunity to relocate to the United States in 1992. He had received a scholarship from The University of Pennsylvania:
He went on to complete his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and then also went on to achieve a degree in Economics from The Wharton School.
In 1995, ELON finally moved to Stanford University in California to attain a PhD in applied physics and materials science but left the program after two days to pursue his entrepreneurial aspirations in the areas of the Internet, renewable energy and outer space.
And that’s where it all began!
After dropping out of Stanford, ELON and his brother Kimball borrowed $28,000 from their father and launched a software company called Zip2 in 1995.
That is when the Musk’s decided to help the newspaper publishers and developed an online city guide for them. Soon, the company got accolade with contracts from major players in the industry, including The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune, and even persuaded the board of directors to abandon plans for a merger with CitySearch.
Eventually, the Musk Brothers sold Zip2 to commence a
New venture called X.com!
X.com was an online financial services and e-mail payment company, which got merged in about a year with a money transfer service called PayPal.
In October 2000, ELON was overthrown from his role as CEO (although he remained on the board
The merged entity was eventually renamed to PayPal in 2001 as well!
And then in October 2002, PayPal was sold to eBay for $1.5 Billion in stock, of which ELON, who was the largest shareholder, received US$165 million for his 11.7% stake.
But Pay Pal was not the end of the road for Musk; on the contrary, it was merely the beginning of far more ambitious projects. One being – Space exploration! ELON always wanted to make, sending people to different planets, possible.
While on his flight back, ELON realized that he could start a company that could build the affordable rockets he needed. Upon calculation, he noticed that the raw materials for building a rocket actually cost for only 3% of the sales price of a rocket at the time.
.
Ultimately, with $100 million from his early fortune, in June 2002, ELON ended up founding Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX.
In seven years, SpaceX has also gone on to design a family of Falcon launch vehicles and the Dragon multipurpose spacecraft, which has also berthed with the ISS (International Space Station).
Furthermore, in 2006, SpaceX also received a contract from NASA to continue with the development and test of the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle and Dragon spacecraft in order to transport cargo to the International Space Station...
Over the period of time – SpaceX has grown on to become the, both the largest private producer of rocket motors in the world, and holder of the record for highest thrust-to-weight ratio for any known rocket motor.
.
ELON also owns a company named TESLA which is always searching for an exciting future such as auto drive technology equipped cars
ELON’s life is an abstruse; he suffered from an ultimate pain in his childhood and eventually in his life thereafter. We learn that if it’s hard then it is WORTH IT. His life was no ideal but he ended up being the owner of here renowned companies and has a lot of wealth too ,now he lives his life with his head held high and is proud of himself.
