The Real-Life Iron Man.

He is the Co-Founder of PayPal, The CEO and product architect at

world famous car company Tesla, The CEO and product engineer at
Space X. Owner of twitter and fighter for free speech. The wealthiest
man alive with a net worth of 275 billion dollars and counting all at 50
years old.

Elon Musk’s father was a south African, his mother a Canadian.

Musk was born and grew up in South Africa until he was 17 when he
moved to Canada.

Shortly after moving to Canada, he made his way to the states where he
went to college and studied economics and physics

Before Elon sold his first business, he was struggling financially barely
paying his rent bills and having to sleep at his office and take showers at
public gas stations, and even had to work a second job to keep himself
afloat financially.

Although his troubles Musk’s eye for opportunity was out of the world.

He sold his first ever business Zip 2 for a whopping 307 million dollars
to a company called Compaq which is the American IT company at the
time.

Elon later started yet another company called x.com which was a digital
wallet service that later merged with PayPal and then sold earning him a
whopping 170 million dollars. He could definitely take his own showers
now

Following Musk’s massive business accomplishments at the time he

dipped his foot in new waters hoping to achieve similar results to those

he had in the past. Little did he know the hard times were yet to unravel
on the little man.

The talented young man started looking into space exploration, a very
new subject for mankind. He was intrigued by the idea and immediately
started his own space exploration company Space X with his own cash.

The company today is the number one space exploration company in the
world that is not owned by a country like NASA

Space X achieved multiple achievements like being the first company to

send a human into orbit or the first private company to send a space craft
to the International Space Station.

Musk revolutionized transportation in Space he soon did the same on

Earth too, by founding Tesla, an electrical car company that completely
revolutionized electric cars and their limits compared to combustion
engines ultimately saving the planet.

The phenomenon not only created and invented a new way to make
electric cars faster and more efficient than most combustion engines he
also created a new way to save the planet at an affordable rate without
having to give anything up since he made the car at an incredibly
affordable and fair price.

His company Tesla soon after many financial struggles became the most
valuable car company in history ultimately cementing his name in the
history books.

The face of the car company the Tesla model 3 quickly became the
world’s best-selling car. He has that wild spirit in him.

He is known for his unthinkable theories that somehow always turn out
to be correct.

You will never out think or outsmart him. People who tried have always
failed miserably.

Later on, he bought the one of famous companies in history Twitter for a
staggering 44 billion dollars and immediately set new rules for the
company.

He did this to support and popularize free speech around the world.

Despite haters and even the legal authorities tried to sue him multiple
times for trying to support free speech and unbanning controversial
individuals on the platform. While also suing him for speaking freely on
the platform himself he hasn’t stopped a single time.

Even when he was starting his company Space X all his heroes stood
against him making his already impossible task that much harder, he still
prevailed while they stood there watching in awe.

His accomplishments and wild theories have led to people calling him
Super Villain. Not once has he cared or even listened. He has that dog
in him.

Its safe to say he is the real-life Iron Man.
