[Click here and I’ll show you what it is and, more importantly, how to make a potential fortune from it.]( Elon Reeve Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, one of the capital cities of South Africa.[7][8] Musk has British and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry.[9][10] His mother is Maye Musk (née Haldeman), a model and dietitian born in Saskatchewan, Canada, and raised in South Africa.[11][12][13] His father, Errol Musk, is a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, sailor, consultant, and property developer, who was a half-owner of a Zambian emerald mine near Lake Tanganyika.[14][15][16][17] Musk has a younger brother, Kimbal, and a younger sister, Tosca.[13][18] Musk's family was wealthy during his youth.[17] His father was elected to the Pretoria City Council as a representative of the anti-apartheid Progressive Party, with his children sharing their father's dislike of apartheid.[7] His maternal grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was an adventurous American-born Canadian who took his family on record-breaking journeys to Africa and Australia in a single-engine Bellanca airplane.[19][20][21] After his parents divorced in 1980, Musk mostly lived with his father.[9] Musk later regretted his decision because he has become estranged from his father.[22] He has a paternal half-sister and a half-brother.[19][23] In his biography of Musk, Ashlee Vance described Musk as an awkward and introverted child.[24] When Musk was age ten, he developed an interest in computing and video games, teaching himself how to program from his Commodore VIC-20 user manual.[25] At age twelve, he sold his BASIC-based game Blastar to PC and Office Technology magazine for approximately $500.[26][27] Education An ornate school building Musk graduated from Pretoria Boys High School in South Africa. Musk attended Waterkloof House Preparatory School, Bryanston High School, and Pretoria Boys High School, from which he graduated.[28] Musk applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother,[29][30] knowing that it would be easier to immigrate to the United States this way.[31] While waiting for his application to be processed, he attended the University of Pretoria for five months.[32] Musk arrived in Canada in June 1989 and lived with a second cousin in Saskatchewan for a year,[33] working odd jobs at a farm and lumber-mill.[34] In 1990, he entered Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.[35][36] Two years later, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he completed studies for a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics and a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from the Wharton School in 1995.[37][38][39] He reportedly hosted large, ticketed house parties to help pay for tuition, and wrote a business plan for an electronic book-scanning service similar to Google Books.[40] In 1994, Musk held two internships in Silicon Valley: one at the energy storage startup Pinnacle Research Institute, which investigated electrolytic ultracapacitors for energy storage, and another at the Palo Alto–based startup Rocket Science Games.[41][42] In 1995, he was accepted to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in materials science at Stanford University.[43][44] However, Musk decided to join the Internet boom, instead dropping out two days after being accepted and applied for a job at Netscape, to which he reportedly never received a response.[45][29] Business career Zip2 Main article: Zip2 External video video icon Musk speaks of his early business experience during a 2014 commencement speech at USC on YouTube In 1995, Musk, his brother Kimbal, and Greg Kouri founded Zip2.[46][47] Errol Musk provided them with $28,000 in funding.[48] The company developed an Internet city guide with maps, directions, and yellow pages, and marketed it to newspapers.[49] They worked at a small rented office in Palo Alto,[50] Musk coding the website every night.[50] Eventually, Zip2 obtained contracts with The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune.[40] The brothers persuaded the board of directors to abandon a merger with CitySearch;[51] however, Musk's attempts to become CEO were thwarted.[52] Compaq acquired Zip2 for $307 million in cash in February 1999,[53][54] and Musk received $22 million for his 7-percent share.[55] X.com and PayPal Main articles: X.com, PayPal, and PayPal Mafia Later in 1999, Musk co-founded X.com, an online financial services and e-mail payment company.[56] X.com was one of the first federally insured online banks and over 200,000 customers joined after its initial months of operation.[57] Even though Musk founded the company, investors regarded him as inexperienced and replaced him with Intuit CEO Bill Harris by the end of the year.[58] In 2000, X.com merged with online bank Confinity to avoid competition,[50][58][59] as Confinity's money-transfer service PayPal was more popular than X.com's service.[60] Musk then returned as CEO of the merged company. His preference for Microsoft over Unix-based software caused a rift among the company's employees, and led Peter Thiel, Confinity's founder, to resign.[61] With the company suffering from compounding technological issues and the lack of a cohesive business model, the board ousted Musk and replaced him with Thiel in September 2000.[62][b] Under Thiel, the company focused on the money-transfer service and was renamed PayPal in 2001.[64][65] In 2002, PayPal was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock, of which Musk—the largest shareholder with 11.72% of shares—received $175.8 million.[66][67] In 2017, more than one and a half decades later, Musk purchased the X.com domain from PayPal for its sentimental value.[68][69] In 2022, Musk discussed a goal of creating "X, the everything app".[70] SpaceX Main article: SpaceX Musk shakes hands with NASA Administrator Charles Bolden before a SpaceX Dragon capsule NASA Administrator Charles Bolden congratulates Musk in front of the SpaceX Dragon following its successful 2012 mission. In early 2001, Musk became involved with the nonprofit Mars Society and discussed funding plans to place a growth-chamber for plants on Mars.[71] In October of the same year, he traveled to Moscow with Jim Cantrell and Adeo Ressi to buy refurbished intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that could send the greenhouse payloads into space. He met with the companies NPO Lavochkin and Kosmotras; however, Musk was seen as a novice[72] and the group returned to the United States empty-handed. In February 2002, the group returned to Russia with Mike Griffin (president of In-Q-Tel) to look for three ICBMs. They had another meeting with Kosmotras and were offered one rocket for $8 million, which Musk rejected. He instead decided to start a company that could build affordable rockets.[72] With $100 million of his own money,[73] Musk founded SpaceX in May 2002 and became the company's CEO and Chief Engineer.[74][75] SpaceX attempted its first launch of the Falcon 1 rocket in 2006.[76] Though the rocket failed to reach Earth orbit, it was awarded a Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program contract from NASA Administrator (and former SpaceX consultant[77]) Mike Griffin later that year.[78][79] After two more failed attempts that nearly caused Musk and his companies to go bankrupt,[76] SpaceX succeeded in launching the Falcon 1 into orbit in 2008.[80] Later that year, SpaceX received a $1.6 billion Commercial Resupply Services contract from NASA for 12 flights of its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station, replacing the Space Shuttle after its 2011 retirement.[81] In 2012, the Dragon vehicle docked with the ISS, a first for a commercial spacecraft.[82] Musk credited the NASA award, one of the last actions by Mike Griffin as NASA Administrator, for saving the company.[83] Musk, dressed in a suit, holds a metal model of the Starship Musk discussing Starship with NORAD and AFSPC in 2019 Working towards its goal of reusable rockets, in 2015 SpaceX successfully landed the first stage of a Falcon 9 on an inland platform.[84] Later landings were achieved on autonomous spaceport drone ships, an ocean-based recovery platform.[85] In 2018, SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy; the inaugural mission carried Musk's personal Tesla Roadster as a dummy payload.[86][87] Since 2019,[88] SpaceX has been developing Starship, a fully-reusable, super-heavy-lift launch vehicle intended to replace the Falcon 9 and the Falcon Heavy.[89] In 2020, SpaceX launched its first crewed flight, the Demo-2, becoming the first private company to place astronauts into orbit and dock a crewed spacecraft with the ISS.[90] Starlink Main article: Starlink In 2015, SpaceX began development of the Starlink constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites to provide satellite Internet access,[91] with the first two prototype satellites launched in February 2018. A second set of test satellites, and the first large deployment of a piece of the constellation, occurred in May 2019, when the first 60 operational satellites were launched.[92] The total cost of the decade-long project to design, build, and deploy the constellation is estimated by SpaceX to be about $10 billion.[93][c] Some critics, including the International Astronomical Union, have alleged that Starlink blocks the view of the sky and poses a collision threat to spacecraft.[96][97][98] During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Musk sent Starlink terminals to Ukraine to provide Internet access and communication,[99] an action praised by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.[100][101] However, Musk refused to block Russian state media on Starlink, declaring himself "a free speech absolutist".[102][103] In October 2022, Musk stated that about 20,000 satellite terminals had been donated to Ukraine, together with free data transfer subscriptions, which cost SpaceX $80 million. After first asking the United States Department of Defense to pay for further units and future subscriptions on behalf of Ukraine,[104] Musk publicly stated SpaceX would continue to offer Starlink products and services to the Ukrainian government for free, at a cost he estimated at $400 million for the following 12 months.[105][106][107] SpaceX also designs and launches custom military satellites for the Space Development Agency as part of a new missile defense system in low Earth orbit.[108] The constellation would give the United States new capabilities to sense, target and potentially intercept nuclear missiles and hypersonic weapons launched from anywhere on Earth.[109] Both China and Russia brought concerns to the United Nations about the program,[110] and various organizations warn it could be destabilizing and trigger an arms race in space.[111][112] Tesla Main article: Tesla, Inc. Musks stands, arms crossed and grinning, before a Tesla Model S Musk next to a Tesla Model S, 2011 Tesla, Inc.—originally Tesla Motors—was incorporated in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who financed the company until the Series A round of funding.[113] Both men played active roles in the company's early development prior to Musk's involvement.[114] Musk led the Series A round of investment in February 2004; he invested $6.5 million, became the majority shareholder, and joined Tesla's board of directors as chairman.[115] Musk took an active role within the company and oversaw Roadster product design but was not deeply involved in day-to-day business operations.[116] Following a series of escalating conflicts in 2007, and the 2008 financial crisis, Eberhard was ousted from the firm.[117][page needed][118] Musk assumed leadership of the company as CEO and product architect in 2008.[119] A 2009 lawsuit settlement with Eberhard designated Musk as a Tesla co-founder, along with Tarpenning and two others.[120][121] As of 2019, Musk was the longest-tenured CEO of any automotive manufacturer globally.[122] In 2021, Musk nominally changed his title to "Technoking" while retaining his position as CEO.[123] Tesla first built an electric sports car, the Roadster, in 2008. With sales of about 2,500 vehicles, it was the first serial production all-electric car to use lithium-ion battery cells.[124] Tesla began delivery of its four-door Model S sedan in 2012.[125] A cross-over, the Model X was launched in 2015.[126] A mass-market sedan, the Model 3, was released in 2017.[127] The Model 3 is the all-time bestselling plug-in electric car worldwide, and in June 2021 it became the first electric car to sell 1 million units globally.[128][129] A fifth vehicle, the Model Y crossover, was launched in 2020.[130] The Cybertruck, an all-electric pickup truck, was unveiled in 2019.[131] Under Musk, Tesla has also constructed multiple lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle factories, named Gigafactories.[132] Musk speaking with a microphone, a projected image of a Tesla is behind him Musk presenting about the Model X car at the 2014 Tesla's annual shareholder meeting Since its initial public offering in 2010,[133] Tesla stock has risen significantly; it became the most valuable carmaker in summer 2020,[134][135] and it entered the S&P 500 later that year.[136][137] In October 2021, it reached a market capitalization of $1 trillion, the sixth company in U.S. history to do so.[138] In November 2021, Musk proposed, on Twitter, to sell 10% of his Tesla stock, since "much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance".[139] After more than 3.5 million Twitter accounts supported the sale, Musk sold $6.9 billion of Tesla stock within a week,[139] and a total of $16.4 billion by year end, reaching the 10% target.[140] In February 2022, The Wall Street Journal reported that both Elon and Kimbal Musk were under investigation by the SEC for possible insider trading related to the sale.[141] In 2022, Musk unveiled a robot developed by Tesla, Optimus.[142] SEC lawsuit In 2018, Musk was sued by the SEC for a tweet claiming that funding had been secured for potentially taking Tesla private.[143][d] The lawsuit characterized the tweet as false, misleading, and damaging to investors, and sought to bar Musk from serving as CEO of publicly traded companies.[143][147][148] Two days later, Musk settled with the SEC, without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations. As a result, Musk and Tesla were fined $20 million each, and Musk was forced to step down for three years as Tesla chairman but was able to remain as CEO.[149] Musk has stated in interviews that he does not regret posting the tweet that triggered the SEC investigation.[150][151] In April 2022, the shareholder who sued Musk over the tweet, along with several Tesla shareholders, said that a federal judge had ruled that the tweet was false, although the ruling in question has not been unsealed.[152] In 2019, Musk stated in a tweet that Tesla would build half a million cars that year.[153] The SEC reacted to Musk's tweet by filing in court, asking the court to hold him in contempt for violating the terms of a settlement agreement with such a tweet; the accusation was disputed by Musk. This was eventually settled by a joint agreement between Musk and the SEC clarifying the previous agreement details.[154] The agreement included a list of topics that Musk would need preclearance before tweeting about.[155] In 2020, a judge prevented a lawsuit from proceeding that claimed a tweet by Musk regarding Tesla stock price ("too high imo") violated the agreement.[156][157] FOIA-released records showed that the SEC itself concluded Musk has subsequently violated the agreement twice by tweeting regarding "Tesla's solar roof production volumes and its stock price".[158] SolarCity and Tesla Energy Main articles: SolarCity and Tesla Energy Two green vans sporting the SolarCity logo SolarCity solar-panel installation vans in 2009 Musk provided the initial concept and financial capital for SolarCity, which his cousins Lyndon and Peter Rive founded in 2006.[159] By 2013, SolarCity was the second largest provider of solar power systems in the United States.[160] In 2014, Musk promoted the idea of SolarCity building an advanced production facility in Buffalo, New York, triple the size of the largest solar plant in the United States.[161] Construction of the factory started in 2014 and was completed in 2017. It operated as a joint venture with Panasonic until early 2020.[162][163] Tesla acquired SolarCity for over $2 billion in 2016 and merged it with its battery unit to create Tesla Energy. The deal's announcement resulted in a more than 10% drop in Tesla's stock price. At the time, SolarCity was facing liquidity issues.[164] Multiple shareholder groups filed a lawsuit against Musk and Tesla's directors, claiming that the purchase of SolarCity was done solely to benefit Musk and came at the expense of Tesla and its shareholders.[165][166] Tesla directors settled the lawsuit in January 2020, leaving Musk the sole remaining defendant.[167][168] Two years later, the court ruled in Musk's favor.[169] Neuralink Main article: Neuralink Musk standing next to bulky medical equipment on a stage Musk discussing a Neuralink device during a live demonstration in 2020 In 2016, Musk co-founded Neuralink, a neurotechnology startup company, with an investment of $100 million.[170][171] Neuralink aims to integrate the human brain with artificial intelligence (AI) by creating devices that are embedded in the brain to facilitate its merging with machines. Such technology could enhance memory or allow the devices to communicate with software.[171][172] The company also hopes to develop devices with which to treat neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and spinal cord injuries.[173] In 2019, Musk announced work on a device akin to a sewing machine that could embed threads into a human brain.[170] Musk is listed as the sole author of an October 2019 paper that details some of Neuralink's research,[174] although Musk's being listed as such rankled the Neuralink team's researchers.[175] At a 2020 live demonstration, Musk described one of their early devices as "a Fitbit in your skull" that could soon cure paralysis, deafness, blindness, and other disabilities. Many neuroscientists and publications criticized these claims,[176][177][178] with MIT Technology Review describing them as "highly speculative" and "neuroscience theater".[176] During the demonstration, Musk revealed a pig with a Neuralink implant that tracked neural activity related to smell.[173] Neuralink has conducted further animal testing on Macaque monkeys at the University of California, Davis' Primate Research Center. In 2021, the company released a video in which a Macaque played the video game Pong via a Neuralink implant. The company's animal trials—which have caused the deaths of some monkeys—have led to claims of animal cruelty. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has alleged that Neuralink's animal trials have violated the Animal Welfare Act.[179] In 2022, Neuralink announced that clinical trials would begin by the end of the year.[180] The Boring Company Main article: The Boring Company Musk speaks to a crowd of journalists. Behind him is a lighted tunnel. Musk during the 2018 inauguration of the Boring Test Tunnel in Hawthorne, California In 2017, Musk founded the Boring Company to construct tunnels[181] and revealed plans for specialized, underground, high-occupancy vehicles that could travel up to 150 miles per hour (240 km/h) and thus circumvent above-ground traffic in major cities.[182] Early in 2017, the company began discussions with regulatory bodies and initiated construction of a 30-foot (9.1 m) wide, 50-foot (15 m) long, and 15-foot (4.6 m) deep "test trench" on the premises of SpaceX's offices, as that required no permits.[183] The Los Angeles tunnel, less than two miles (3.2 km) in length, debuted to journalists in 2018. It used Tesla Model X's and was reported to be a rough ride while traveling at suboptimal speeds.[184] Two tunnel projects announced in 2018, in Chicago and West Los Angeles, have been canceled.[185][186] However, a tunnel beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center was completed in early 2021.[187] Local officials have approved further expansions of the tunnel system.[188] In 2021, tunnel construction was approved for Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[189] [Simple Money Goals]( You received this email as a result of your consent to receive 3rd party offers at our another website.
