Rich immigrants went to America.

Born in Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa, Elon Musk is an entrepreneur, engineer and philanthropist.

Elon musk graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. He has been a natural reader since he was a child. He can read two books a day. In his early days, he liked reading science fiction and comics, such as The Lord of the Rings and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was not until he finished reading such books in the library that he began to read the Encyclopedia Britannica and some non-fiction books.

Books opened a whole new world for Musk. In this world, he established a knowledge tree by tracing the source, then filled in details under each branch, and finally formed a grand system. When he reads, he doesn't like to remember, but to understand with his heart. Only after understanding can knowledge imprint a deep memory on his mind. In the process of building this knowledge building, Musk often thinks by asking himself and answering questions. At this time, he turns a deaf ear to the things around him as if he were stupefied.

/kloc-at the age of 0/7, Musk decided to immigrate to the United States in order to avoid military service and learn cutting-edge technology. At first, he tried to persuade his father to emigrate, but his father didn't agree. He also asked him to do a lot of housework and feel what real American life is. Unable to turn to his father, he turned to his mother for help. His mother is Canadian, and the law allows Musk to inherit her Canadian citizenship, so he adjusted his plan to go to Canada first and then to the United States. This procedure took a year. As soon as he got his passport and plane ticket, he flew to the New World like a bird.

1989 after obtaining Canadian citizenship, she entered Queen's University and went to wharton school to study economics. During his college years, he dreamed of "Internet, clean energy and space", three very forward-looking dreams.

1995, 24-year-old Musk entered Stanford University to pursue a doctorate, majoring in materials science and applied physics. Funnily enough, I dropped out of school in the second grade, because that year Microsoft released Windows95, which realized the Internet Spring! Decisively leave your job and start a business!

1995 After Musk dropped out of school, he founded Zip2 with his younger brother. After several years of operation, Compaq, an American computer manufacturer, bought Zip2 with $307 million in cash and $34 million in stock options. Elon musk, 28, made a profit of $22 million in this acquisition. I have to say that Musk is really young and promising!

At the end of 2000, Musk was infected with malaria during his trip to Africa and almost died. Workaholics began to look at their lives. The next year, he was in his thirties. He said sadly to his wife Justin, "I am no longer a child prodigy."

In 2000, Musk asked for $6,543.8 billion to invest in Space X. At the same time, Musk was the only investor in Space X, focusing on reducing the cost of rocket launch and immigrating humans to Mars (a very grand dream).

In 2004, he invested in Tesla, became the largest shareholder and served as the chairman! In 2006, Falcon 1 was launched and ended in failure. But it always believes that people who are frustrated when they encounter setbacks will always be losers. And those who have been working hard will surely succeed.

In 2007 and 2008, three consecutive launches failed due to technical problems. At this point, Musk's mood has almost fallen to the bottom. Space X was founded six years ago, and Musk spent most of his savings. At the same time, he experienced the death of his eldest son and the breakdown of his marriage. In order to launch the rocket, Musk almost went bankrupt. But God is fair. Just when Musk almost collapsed, on September 28th of the same year, after six years and the efforts of 500 people, the world's first privately developed rocket Falcon-1 was successfully launched.

At 4: 45 on February 7th, 20 18, the space exploration technology company's "Heavy Falcon" carrier rocket was successfully launched for the first time at the Kennedy Space Center in the United States, and two first-class booster rockets were successfully recovered.

Tesla's elon musk became the richest man in the world for the first time, with a total wealth of 1.28 trillion RMB.
