Anna September 30, 2022 No comments




Elon Reeve Musk FRS is a business magnate and investor. He is the founder, CEO, and Chief Engineer at SpaceX; angel investor, CEO, and product architect of Tesla, Inc.; founder of The Boring Company; and co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI. Elon Musk Did these things! Read till the end to find some extra juice.

1. He did not founded TESLA !

Musk’s most successful venture may be Tesla, but the company wasn’t his idea. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded the company in 2003 and brought Musk and his money aboard a year later.

2. He has Asperger’s Syndrome

Musk has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a milder form of autism with characteristics such as a detailed focus on topics of interest and difficulty with social interactions. In 2022, he described growing up with the syndrome: “I think everyone's experience is going to be somewhat different, but I guess for me, the social cues were not intuitive. I was just very bookish and I didn't understand these.” 

3. He founded the Boring Company

No, The Boring Company isn’t some dull venture. It’s actually a company that’s finding a way to bore tunnels underground that can transport people and goods more quickly than surface roads with traffic.

4. He dropped out of Stanford

Musk lasted two days at Stanford before dropping out of school. He was there initially to pursue a doctorate in physics. Instead, he left the school to start up his first company, Zip2, which he sold four years later for more than $300 million.

5. He was an inspiration for TONY STARK!

When Robert Downey Jr. was preparing for his role as Tony Stark in “Iron Man,” he turned to Musk for some inspiration. 

Since you stayed till the end here is something extra just for you!

6. He is the richest person in the world


Musk’s ventures have made him very, very rich. He currently sits atop the list of the richest people in the world, with an estimated wealth of more than $200 billion. Yes, billion.
