Elon Musk

His first computer game was a space themed one. He didn't have a home when he arrived in Canada. At the age of 28, he made his first million on the internet. He walked away from being held at gun point.

He wants to put the first man on the red planet. There isn't much a big deal.

There are green batteries to power the world.

The businessman has been making headlines for his recent bid to acquire the micro-messaging service. Musk is a majority shareholder with nearly 10% of the social media platform's total shares.

Some people use their hair to express themselves on social networking sites. He told the staff that he found it to be the best place to communicate with a lot of people at the same time.

Musk's reputation for speaking his mind, combined with his sarcastic tone, has led to some spats on social media. He wondered if there was a way to indicate tone. "Emo does that." I don't know if it's an irony flag or something, but this is an ironic message. It's something like that.

There's more to Musk than what's seen.

You might not know a lot about the billionaire.

1. He was the inspiration for Tony Stark in the Iron Man movies.

Rumors are not PR sorcery. Tony Stark was a difficult character to bring to life. Robert Downey Jr. persuaded Mr Musk to have a conversation with the director. Hollywood history was made when he did. He says he doesn't regret anything. He wrote about it in Time. Elon is a renaissance man in an era that needs him.

He was looking for a guy who could do something. Musk hit the bull'seye. We came to see him. Engineering is the closest thing to magic that he believes in.

What she learned living with an entrepreneurial success was related to Musk's ex- wife.

Musk appeared in Iron Man 2 for 10 seconds as himself. He allowed parts of the movie to be filmed inside and outside of his space enterprise.

2. He spent up to five hours a day reading as a child and still does.

Kids don't get Musk smart when he's on TV all the time. It's no surprise that he was a prolific reader, considering his long list of accomplishments. As a child, he read four to five hours a day, consuming superhero-filled comic books such as Superman, Batman, Doctor Strange, and yes, Iron Man.

He still likes to read books on paper, but not as much as he used to. Forbes reported in 2012 that the bookshelves in his library were empty. Steve Jobs and Benjamin Franklin are just two of the books he likes to read on his phone.

8 CEOs who amassed a fortune before 30.

Musk doesn't read fiction anymore. He is a man. According to Forbes, Elon simply isn't interested in things that aren't there. It's only in things that are plausible. There's facts. Facts are the way he needs air.

3. He was chronically bullied in school.

Musk was not always the "it" guy people wanted to talk to. He was not accepted at school in his hometown. He was the smallest guy in his school, according to his mother. Bullies used to prey on him.

Musk said that he was almost beaten to death.

Kimbal said that kids gave him a hard time. In South Africa, it's rough. You have to go to school if you are being harassed. You just need to wake up in the morning. He didn't like it very much.

Can the home battery fromTesla lower your electric bill? That's right...

Musk was comfortable with computers and entrepreneurship. He was close to opening an arcade near his high school but decided against it. Since becoming a US citizen, Musk has more than a few successful tech companies under his belt. According to Forbes, he has a fortune worth an estimated $230.5 billion. Who is laughing at who right now?

4. He's a father of eight children

All of Musk's children are heirs to his wealth and legacy. Nevada died of sudden infant death syndrome at 10 months old after he was born with his first wife, Justine Wilson. triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian Musk were born in January 2006

According to the Los Angeles Times, Musk petitioned the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica to legally change his name to a woman. They asked to be dropped from their name because they no longer live with or want to be related to their biological father.

In addition to his children with Justine Wilson, Musk welcomed two children with the musician, son X A XII or " baby x" and daughter Exa Dark Siderl Musk via surrogate in December 2021.

Musk wants to build a second internet in outer space.

We don't know how the CEOs of both companies juggle running two companies and raising children. He admitted in 2013 that it was with great difficulties. He wants his boys to travel to other planets. He said he wasn't sure he'd be able to do that in his lifetime. It is dependent on how long I live and how much progress we make.

5. Dude, he's a burner.

That type of burner is not what I'm talking about. A man is burning. Corporate bigwigs dig some down and dirty shenanigans in the desert at times. No one is exempt from that. He has been partying on the Playa more than once. He and his cousin came up with the idea for SolarCity while they were in the Nevada desert.

Musk's roots in the Silver State may have been a factor in his decision to launch his first factory there. It's anyone's guess.

Is it possible that Musk profiled West? There are some surprising pairs on the Time 100 list.
