Biography
• Elon Musk was born in 1971 in South Africa. Childhood wasn’t a great time
for him—he had a tough family life and never fit in well at school.
• Elon was constantly buried in
the Encyclopaedia Britannica at the age of
four.
• At the age of nine he got his hands on his
first computer, the Commodore VIC-20
and completed “how to program” guide in
just three days.
Early Life
• At 12, he used his skills to create a video game called Blastar, “a trivial game.”
• Musk never felt much of a connection to South Africa—he didn’t fit in with
the jockish, white Afrikaner culture, and it was a nightmare country for a
potential entrepreneur.
• At the age of 17, he left South Africa forever and started out in Canada, and a
few years later, used a college transfer to the University of Pennsylvania as a
way into the US.
• In college, he thought about what he wanted to do with his life, the answer he
came up with was a list of five things: “the internet; sustainable energy; space
exploration, in particular the permanent extension of life beyond Earth; artificial
intelligence; and reprogramming the human genetic code.”
• After finishing college, he enrolled in a Stanford PhD program to study
high energy density capacitors. But two days into the program, he got
massive FOMO because it was 1995 and he “couldn’t stand to just watch
the internet go by. He wanted to jump in and make it better”. So he
dropped out and decided to try the internet instead.
• Musk took second Internet startup company—originally called X.com but
by then merged with another company known as PayPal that had been sold
to eBay for $1.5 billion. This was after his first, Zip2.com, had sold for
$305 million in 1999. Fabulously wealthy and barely into his 30s.

to bring humanity on a huge leap toward a
sustainable energy future.

crashed, hitting the automotive industry the absolute hardest.

Angeles Area and the San Francisco Bay Area.

others to build Hyperloop pods to operate on a SpaceX-sponsored mile-
