SUCCESS STORY OF ELON MUSK

The founder of SpaceX, PayPal and many successful companies Elon Musk is an ideal entrepreneur. Elon is hailed by many as one of the greatest of the decade with his successful ideas and technology.

HOW ELON BECAME THE MAN HE IS TODAY?

Elon Musk has taken some huge risk in his life but he has taken them after doing a careful analysis. Elon as a young boy learned computer programming and made a very basic game because he thought that flappy birds were boring. Everything was not all hail mary for young Elon as he suffered from bullying and even got hospitalised once.

Elon and his brother started a company called Zip2 which would serve as a platform to the big newspaper outlet. Elon received 22 million as his 7%stake when Zip2 was sold. Elon started another company using 10million and named it X.com. The company later merged to another company which had a money transfer service called PayPal.

Elon was removed from the post of CEO of PayPal but that was not the end of the line for him. When PayPal was sold to eBay, Elon got 165 million for his 22% stakes. He spent all the money to start a new company called Space X. Elon had always interest in space exploration and privatising it. He spends 100 million on his new company and the left in starting other projects. The one thing to note is that he spend all the profit in making something big other than himself.

Elon is always praised because he founded a problem and made a solution. He cared about the environment so he made Solar City. He wanted cheaper and better transport so he started a company called hyperloop. In the recent event, he has started a non-profit organisation which wants to create artificial AI to benefit humanity.

Elon is praised for his commitment towards his work. He has looked at a problem and thrived and worked hard to create a solution. Elon made $307 million he could have lived a lavish life but his from a different breed. His curiosity and judgment made a huge wave in the industry. Elon has invested in 20 companies with only one goal to change the world and have a positive impact on it. Elon’s vision as an entrepreneur goes way beyond the present market.
