In the picture, this uncle with a robber hood on his head, a thick beard on his chin, and an Ultra beer in his hand, smiling at the camera, is handing a potato whirlwind to Musk with a baby in his hand. Unexpectedly, the world's richest man, who is worth more than 300 billion dollars and ranks first in the world's rich list, likes to eat potato cyclones as much as ordinary people.

In fact, this is not surprising. After all, Musk was born in an ordinary family.

The legendary life starting point of Tesla boss Musk is the South African capital tshwane. 197 1 year When Musk was born, tshwane was still called Pretoria.

When Musk was 9 years old, his father and mother divorced, and his father, a mechanical and electrical engineer, continued to take care of him. Influenced by his father, Musk became fascinated with electronic technology. Seeing that his son was so obsessed with electronic technology, Musk's father bought Musk a computer and a programming book.

Musk studied with the help of his father and soon mastered the programming technology. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, he designed a space theme game called Blastar, which was acquired by PC and Office Technology magazine for $500.

1988, Musk went to Canada after graduating from high school and entered Queen's University of Canada. Because of his excellent grades, Musk got the opportunity to study economics at Wharton Business School in the United States and successfully obtained a bachelor's degree.

During his study at Wharton College, Musk also got a bachelor's degree in physics by the way, and was exposed to topics related to clean energy and space, which laid the foundation for Tesla's future development.

After studying economics and physics at Wharton College, Musk had the opportunity to study materials science and applied physics at Stanford University, but Musk finally gave up his studies and chose to start a business.

The first step for Musk to start a business was to set up Zip2 software company with his younger brother Kamba Musk in 1995. The New York Times and The Chicago Post published their online content through Zip2 software.

1999, Zip2 was acquired by Compaq, an American computer manufacturer. With money from Compaq, Musk changed hands and founded X.com, a company specializing in e-mail payment and online financial services. X.com later merged with Confinity and used PayPal as its name.

In 2002, PayPal was acquired by rival Yi Bei, and Musk joined Yi Bei. Later, Yi Bei CEO peter teale left Yi Bei, and Musk took over as CEO of Yi Bei. After becoming the CEO of Yi Bei, Musk came up with the idea of establishing a laboratory on Mars and took action, probably because he didn't do his job properly. When Yi Bei made internal adjustment, shareholders did not support Musk to succeed as CEO, so Musk left Yi Bei.

Although Musk left Yi Bei, his space dream didn't end there. He also turned this sideline into his main business, and founded Space X Space Technology Company, which specifically reduced the cost of rocket launch and planned to immigrate to Mars.

While Musk was busy with the rocket, he did not forget to start a sideline. At that time, he was very interested in electric cars and felt that there was a good opportunity. So in 2004, he invested $6.3 million in Tesla founded by Martin eberhard and became the largest shareholder of Tesla.

With the investment of Musk, the scale of Tesla began to grow, and the first production car Roadster also met the world in 2008. However, due to the high cost of Roadster, even if it withstood the pressure of customers, it still lost money, which made Tesla face the crisis of insufficient funds.

In this case, Musk led the Tesla team to modify and changed Daimler-Benz's Smart into an electric car. This move successfully attracted the attention of Daimler Group. Daimler believes that Tesla's technology is really something, so it spent $70 million to acquire a 0/0% stake in Tesla/KLOC.

In 2009, the US Department of Energy gave Tesla a low-interest loan of 465 million yuan, and Tesla reached a cooperation with Toyoda to supply motors and battery packs, which solved Tesla's funding problem.

Tesla developed rapidly after becoming rich, and was listed on NASDAQ on 20 10, becoming the first independent manufacturer of pure electric vehicles listed in the United States.

Due to climate problems, many countries and regions around the world began to vigorously promote the promotion of new energy vehicles from 20 10, and the market value of Tesla, which has a favorable market, soared. As mentioned at the beginning, Tesla has become a new energy vehicle giant in just a few years, with a market value of more than 800 billion US dollars, while the market value of its minority shareholder Daimler is only 60 billion US dollars.

Selling cars is only a sideline, and Martian immigration is the ultimate ideal.

After Tesla succeeded, Musk could engage in rockets again. In 2020, Space X and American Space Exploration Company launched a private space tourism program, and a total of 643 "Star Chain" satellites were sent into space.

In March, 20021,Space X conducted the high-altitude flight test of the starship prototype SN 1 1, but unfortunately SN 1 1 disintegrated in the air.

In April of 20021year, Space X applied for the arrangement of 2,824 satellite chains, of which 1584 was approved. On May 4th, the first batch of approved satellite chains were successfully launched.

According to Musk's plan, Space X will build a Mars base on Mars in 2028 and the first city on Mars in 2030.

Born in 202 1, 197 1, Musk is an "old man" who is over half a hundred years old. Musk has been married four times here:

In 2000, Musk married his first wife Justin Musk and gave birth to five children through IVF. In 2008, Musk divorced his first wife. At this time, Musk was already very rich, but Justin Musk did not ask Musk for any compensation.

In 20 10, Musk married his second wife, tallulah Riley, who was also sasha jackson, but they divorced within two years. Musk gave Riley $420 and a sports car as compensation.

20 13, Musk and Riley got back together, a little better than the first time. It took three years to get divorced. It is said that Musk gave Riley160,000 dollars this time.

In 20 19, Musk fell in love with Canadian singer Grimes. In 2020, the baby of Musk and Grims was born (that is, the baby held by Musk in the first picture of this article, and the name of the baby is "X _ A-XII", which is not garbled. . His real name).

The above is a brief introduction to the legendary life of Tesla boss Musk. At first glance, it seems to be a pleasant journey, but it has also experienced many lows. He won't complain about 996 like ordinary people, because he is 007, perhaps because he has experienced these storms. So Musk knows that people with different life stages and values will have different opinions, so he can say, "What you said is 2+2= 10, I think you are right."
