He also got a seat in Ph.D. at Stanford University, which he dropped out to start a company. He borrowed some money from his father and started a company called Zip2. Due to lack of money and resources, he used to sleep in the company office. After 4 years he sold that company.

Later he started another company called X.com and after some time, it turned into PayPal due to merging with a competitor. He got fired from his own company. Later it was purchased by eBay for which Musk got a huge amount and he became rich.

He worked hard and made bold decisions wherever and whenever needed, and made the company a car giant. They are now manufacturing the world’s fastest car- Tesla Roadster 2.0.
