马斯克的传奇人生

Today is the second installment of the Elon Musk story.
Last time we talked about Musk being born in South Africa. His family was relatively wealthy during his childhood, but his father was a scumbag who abused his mother. His mother endured humiliation and raised two sons and a daughter, and eventually divorced when Musk was 8 years old.
Musk started using computers at the age of 10, and at the age of 12, he made a small game and earned $500, showing his talent. Musk and his family lived in South Africa until they graduated from high school. After graduating from high school, they finally chose to flee South Africa and flew to Canada to start a new life.

The integration of these innovative technologies has not only reshaped the price trend of virtual currencies, but also brought them broader application prospects.
First, the continuous development of blockchain technology provides a more secure, transparent and efficient trading environment for virtual currencies. Through a decentralized network structure and encryption technology, blockchain ensures the immutability and anonymity of transaction data, thereby greatly enhancing the trust of the market. In addition, the smart contract function on the blockchain also brings more possibilities for the application scenarios of virtual currencies, such as automatic execution of transactions, asset management, etc., further improving the operating efficiency of the market.

The interaction between Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) and Tesla CEO Elon Musk on the X platform (formerly Twitter) has sparked heated discussions. CZ mentioned that Binance had invested $500 million to support Musk's acquisition of Twitter, to which Musk responded promptly with a 'Thank you!' and followed CZ again, seemingly suggesting a warming of their relationship. (Background: Amazon may invest 5% of its assets in Bitcoin? CZ responded: Just accept BTC payments, it's simple) (Additional context: CZ revealed that Binance had invested in the crypto travel agency Travala before the pandemic, causing the $AVA token to jump 342%) A historic reconciliation! The interaction between cryptocurrency exchange Binance founder CZ (Zhao Changpeng) and Tesla CEO Musk on the X platform (formerly Twitter) has become a topic of discussion again. Their past actions of mutually following and unfollowing each other have always been seen as a subtle symbol of their complex relationship. Today, CZ retweeted a news article about Binance's participation in Musk's acquisition of Twitter, emphasizing that Binance had invested $500 million in the deal, stating: 'Glad to contribute to the acquisition of Twitter!' Musk immediately replied 'Thank you!' and clicked to follow CZ again, an action interpreted as a signal of a warming relationship between the two. Thanks! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 15, 2024 CZ's six reasons for investing in Twitter After Musk completed the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in 2022, Binance CEO Zhao Changpeng (CZ) accepted an interview with CNBC, expressing the hope of helping to bring web3 elements to Twitter, and elaborated on six reasons for investing in Twitter: Supporting freedom of speech, stating that Twitter is the global Townsquare. Regardless of background, Twitter has given us a voice; irrespective of short-term stock price fluctuations and market conditions, freedom of speech is a prerequisite for financial freedom. Supporting entrepreneurs, Elon Musk is a powerful entrepreneur, and I believe that under his leadership, Twitter will continue to evolve and become a platform of influence for everyone. Believing in the enormous untapped value of Twitter, which still lacks a suitable business model, Musk and crypto technology can innovate business models without selling user data. Binance can help integrate Web3.0 into Twitter as the largest liquidity provider. CZ frequently uses Twitter; as the saying goes, invest in the products you use (not financial advice). CZ wishes to help solve problems while iterating on Twitter’s products, including eliminating bots, adding an edit button, charging for blue checkmarks, and charging for post comments. CZ has repeatedly unfollowed Musk. Unexpectedly, after the acquisition, Musk invited the eToro trading platform to join Twitter, becoming a cryptocurrency trading partner instead of Binance. Additionally, since CZ had previously assisted with funding during Musk's acquisition of Twitter, the community pointed out that Musk's action might have hurt CZ's feelings, causing a rift in their relationship, leading CZ to unfollow Musk. Further reading: After unfollowing Musk) CZ: Binance is also a small shareholder of Twitter and supports 'freedom of speech'! In November this year, CZ unfollowed Musk again, seemingly further confirming the gap between the two. However, looking back at past interactions, it may be found that what CZ truly values is not merely close business cooperation; what he perhaps longs for is a simple thank you from Musk, an affirmation of their shared vision and mutual appreciation. For CZ, establishing a spiritual connection with like-minded industry leaders is far more valuable than mere profit relationships. Their recent renewed interaction may signify a new beginning, and whether these two representative figures in the cryptocurrency and technology fields can collaborate again in the future has left the community hopeful.

Last time we talked about Musk founding the Internet financial company X.COM, which then merged with its competitor Confinity to create the famous Paypal, which is the American version of Alipay.
In July 2002, eBay acquired Paypal for $1.5 billion, and Musk cashed out $250 million, earning $180 million after tax. He then invested the $100 million he had just earned into his next new company, SpaceX, to develop rockets for space exploration.
He initially planned to buy a second-hand intercontinental ballistic missile from Russia for modification, but the Russians asked for 8 million dollars for one. Musk was furious and vowed to build one from scratch. At this time, he was introduced to the rocket god Miller. With Miller's help, he built a 550-pound payload rocket that originally cost 30 million dollars for 6.9 million dollars. But then, SpaceX failed in three launches in four consecutive years. Just when the company was about to go bankrupt, the fourth launch was finally successful.

Today is the fifth and final episode of Elon Musk’s story.
Last time we talked about the successful launch of SpaceX's fourth rocket. The company's funds were basically in deficit. At this time, NASA came to the rescue and threw out a $1.6 billion contract to bring SpaceX back to life. Musk became famous overnight and attracted two engineers who were researching electric aircraft to come to him for financing, but Musk was not very interested.
Before leaving, the two engineers mentioned that they had been researching electric car projects. Musk immediately became excited. One of the engineers, named Straubel, quickly introduced Gage, the owner of AC propulsion electric car company, to Musk. It turned out that Gage only wanted to provide technology and was not willing to develop the entire vehicle.
