Success Story
The world’s tallest building i.e. Burj Khalifa cost 114 billion rupees to build. Elon Musk can buy 117 buildings like Burj-Khalifa in one go. This question must be coming to your mind: how did he become so rich and so successful. So, his hard work and never giving up spirit is the reason for his success. Elon was born on 28 June 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa.
He has been interested in technology and computers since childhood. He created a basic computer game at the age of just 12 and sold it to a company for $500. $500 was a huge amount in those days. Although later due to financial constraints, he had to work in a timber factory in his teens, he continued his studies and in 1997 got his Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Economics. After this Elon also applied for a job in a famous company called Netscape but he did not get the job there. During this time he was admitted to the Ph.D. program of Stanford University.
On the second day of university, he decided to leave a renowned university like Stanford and do business. After this, Elon Musk left Stanford University and opened a city guide website called ZIP2 with his brother. To run this website, these two brothers had only one computer, from which they used to manage the ZIP2 server during the day and do maintenance work on the website at night time.
In the year 2000, a company called Combag bought ZIP2 from Elon Musk and his brother for 307 Million Dollars. With the money received from his share of Zip2, Elon Musk thought of opening an online bank website and in no time he opened a bank website X.com. In a short time, this website became popular on the internet as PayPal and Elon Musk sold it also to a company called eBay for 1.5 billion dollars.
In 2002, Elon Musk opened a company called SpaceX, whose aim was to make commuting in space easier and cheaper. SpaceX makes many rockets which were also successful. This company also invented rockets that bring satellites into space and come back to Earth. Elon Musk did not stop here, after that he started a company with 4 other people called Tesla together whose purpose was to make cars that run without fuel i.e. electric cars. Which Tesla has also shown today.
Elon Musk will not stop there, he still has many such projects in progress that you would never have imagined. Like space tourism, a colony on Mars, free internet (all over the world), and many more.
