Elon Musk, born in South Africa in 1971, showed a fascination for technology and programming from a young age, creating his first video game at the age of 12. His path to greatness began by moving to Canada and then to the United States, where he studied physics and economics at the University of Pennsylvania. Although he started a PhD at Stanford, he dropped out after two days to dive into the internet boom.
His first company, Zip2, co-founded with his brother Kimbal, provided online city guides. The successful sale of Zip2 gave him the capital to found X.com, a financial services company that would later merge to become PayPal, revolutionizing online payments. After the sale of PayPal to eBay, Musk, with a considerable fortune, was not satisfied and redirected his vision towards even more ambitious goals.
In 2002, he founded SpaceX with the bold objective of reducing the costs of space travel and ultimately making the colonization of Mars possible. The following year, he became involved with Tesla Motors (now Tesla, Inc.), taking the lead to accelerate the global transition to electric vehicles and sustainable energy. Under his leadership, Tesla has revolutionized the automotive industry with its innovative models.
Additionally, Musk has founded Neuralink, seeking to merge the human mind with artificial intelligence through brain implants, and The Boring Company, focused on traffic solutions through underground tunnels. More recently, he acquired Twitter, transforming it into X, with the vision of creating an "everything application." His trajectory, marked by boldness, disruptive innovation, and an incessant quest to change the future, has catapulted him to be one of the richest and most influential people on the planet, constantly redefining the limits of what is possible across multiple industries.
