In 2020, “Reality Iron Man” Elon Musk officially defeated Bill Gates to become “the world’s second richest man”!
A few months after Bernard Arnault, the president of fashion giant LVMH, briefly became the world’s richest man, this list ushered in a huge change! In addition to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos) who is firmly ranked as the richest man in the world, in November 2020 Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk actually defeated Microsoft founder Bill Gates (Bill Gates). Gates), became “the second richest man in the world”! Yes, he is the genius known as the “Reality Iron Man”. But just like the sentence in “Abandoned Soldiers on the Rear Wings”, “Genius and lunatics are only separated by a thin line.” Elon Musk’s childhood memories and emotional world are beyond imagination. The following summarizes 20 stories about Elon Musk. He designed a computer game at the age of 12, founded Space X at the age of 30, and became the father of six children at the age of 49. He was also involved in Johnny Depp. The domestic violence incident with Amberhead… What surprises the whole world is looking forward to in the future!
Elon Musk 1. He designed a computer game at the age of 12
Children like to play video games, but Elon Musk has worked out how to write games while having fun! At the age of 12, he completed a “Blastar” computer game and made his first pot of gold. Not surprisingly, this game is the theme of “Outer Space War”; that is Elon Musk’s life dream.
Elon Musk 2. All said he was a dropout, but the fact is…
It is often said that Elon Musk is a dropout like Bill Gates, but he “decided to suspend school after two days of Ph.D.”! Elon Musk studied at Queen’s University in Canada in 1992, and transferred to the University of Pennsylvania two years later, where he obtained a double bachelor’s degree in economics and physics. Later, he applied for a doctoral program in Applied Physics and Materials Science at the prestigious Stanford University, but dropped out two days after enrolling!
Guess what the reason is? In an interview many years later, he said: “I went to college just to have more fun.” And he dropped out because he was about to start earnestly moving toward his dream!
Elon Musk 3. Establish a company to make a net profit of 300 million US dollars
24-year-old Elon Musk and his younger brother Kimbal Musk have collaborated to complete a “Zip2” computer software, which mainly provides online city navigation and guide information for news media. Zip2’s start-up capital was only $28,000, funded by the father of the two. Then, in 1999, Compaq Computer acquired Zip2 with “$307 million” cash + “$34 million” stock options.
At that time, Elon Musk had already decided on three areas he wanted to enter in the future: the Internet, renewable energy, and space technology. He believes that these three fields are all factors that deeply influence the future development of mankind!
Elon Musk 4. He was born in South Africa and is the eldest son of the family
Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa on June 28, 1971. His mother Maye Musk is Canadian and his father Errol Musk is a white South African. He spent his childhood in South Africa until he graduated from high school at the age of 17. In order to avoid mandatory military service in South Africa, he returned to his mother’s hometown alone.
This is the decision of Elon Musk alone. He decisively left his family, but it also means that he has lost all the financial pillars. It was years later that we discovered the reason for his desertion: he was a “bullyed” child!
Elon Musk 5. “My nose has been broken too many times and it is still crooked.”
Elon Musk admitted in an interview that he suffered the worst bullying during his studies in South Africa! He was often beaten by classmates inexplicably, and his nose was broken too many times, causing him to have a “serrated nasal diaphragm” and even mild “dyspnea” symptoms after he became an adult. Of course, he had an operation after a successful career, and he is now cured.
His brother Kimbal Musk also confirmed this: “He was bullied very badly, but he still has to go to class as usual. He hates the school.”
Elon Musk 6. He founded PayPal, the largest online payment network to date
Although less used in Asia, PayPal is by far the most widely used online payment network in Europe and the United States! From the beginning of binding bank accounts to the credit card encryption mechanism, PayPal’s revolutionary existence promoted the popularization of online shopping in 2000. And the predecessor of PayPal “X.com” was designed by Elon Musk!
In October 2002, he resold PayPal to eBay, the world’s largest online mall, for $1.5 billion. With this funding, Elon Musk began his great ideal of “rewriting human history”!
Elon Musk 7. Space X space technology born for dreams
Remember the goals he set in college? Before playing the Internet and setting up “Tesla Tesla” to research renewable energy, Elon Musk couldn’t wait to devote himself to his most desired dream in his life-space technology. In 2002, he established a third company, SpaceX Space Exploration Technology Company, and concurrently served as CEO and CTO. His idea is very simple. Under the conditions of ensuring safety and cost saving, explore everything in outer space, starting from the moon and Mars!
The “Falcon 9” launch vehicle produced by SpaceX is a very important invention in the history of human aerospace: it is the first liquid fuel launch vehicle that can reuse the first-stage thruster multiple times, completely overthrowing the carrier. The established mindset that Rockets can only be used once! And this is also an important milestone for mankind to be able to “outer space tourism” in the future.
Elon Musk 8. Single mother and “terrible” father
Are you also curious, what kind of “tiger mother” can teach such a motivated and filial son? Mey Musk wrote in her autobiography: “Give children absolute freedom!” But the goodness of the three Musk children is not accidental, but in the process of growing up, learning to cherish this strong and gentle mother.
Mey became a single mother at the age of 31. Yes, she was a victim of domestic violence. Regarding his father, Elon Musk commented on him: “He is a terrible father who can do the most evil things.” The two have not said a word for decades, according to foreign media. Skr even confessed to his wife: “I hope my children will not grow up under the poison of my grandfather.”

Elon Musk 9. Has a son whose name is illegal with his current girlfriend
Elon Musk’s current girlfriend is a well-known Canadian singer and visual artist, Grimes. In May 2020, Grimes gave birth to a son, and the two named his son “X Æ A-12” Musk!
Regarding this strange name, Grimes explained: X is a variable, Æ is the Elf language of AI artificial intelligence, and A-12 is the descendant of Musk’s favorite fighter “SR-71 Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft”, representing It is fast, good at fighting but not violent.
She also said that she wanted this child to choose her gender identity in the future, not to be influenced by her name.
Elon Musk 10. He is now the father of 6 children
How can the world’s second richest man have only one son? Although Elon Musk kept this matter secret to the utmost, he actually had 5 lovely children with his first wife! Each of them has a very handsome name: Griffin, Xavier, Damian, Saxon, Kai, which are twin sons and triplets. The appearance of the sons has not been made public since they were 6 years old. After all, my father’s career is not trivial; he once joked, “My family is very worried about whether they will be assassinated by Russia one day.”
Elon Musk 11. The first wife did not want to be a vase and left him
This Justine Wilson (Justine Wilson) is Elon Musk’s first wife, she is the author of the best-selling fantasy novels “Bloodangel” and “Lord of Bones”. The two met at Queen’s University in Canada, and after 8 years of long-distance love, they entered marriage from a young love. In 2002, the two naturally conceived children died due to sudden infant death syndrome…
Therefore, there were “5 test-tube babies” born in 2004 and 2006! When everyone thought Justin was very happy, she filed for divorce in 2008; the reason was that “Her hair dyed in any color has to be taken care of, and she has completely turned into a vase wife.”
Elon Musk 12. Two hot but short marriages
After the divorce, Elon Musk started an extravagant nightlife. In 2008, he met 14-year-old Talulah Riley (Talulah Riley)! This beautiful British actor does not have many works, and is a supporting role in the masterpiece “Full Start” and “Pride and Prejudice”.
The two got married a few months later, and their marriage broke down in just one year, but they remarried again the following year, which lasted for another year…
>> Does Melinda, who married Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, has children and become a full-time wife, regret it?
Elon Musk 13. Involved in the Johnny Depp and Amberhead incident!
How did Elon Musk get involved in the domestic violence incident between Johnny Depp and Amberhead? It turned out that when the couple broke their marriage and accused each other of domestic violence and infidelity, Johnny Depp published a video proving that Elon Musk had worked at Johnny Depp’s mansion at the invitation of Amberhead. Stay overnight! But Elon Musk firmly denied that he had any close relationship with Umberhead at the time, and the two began their relationship after the divorce.
Elon Musk 14. The first commercial space shuttle to carry astronauts
As of 2019, Space X and NASA have conducted 16 international space station (ISS) resupply missions. On May 31, 2020, SpaceX completed another important space shuttle mission: two NASA astronauts took the “Dragon Spaceship 2” spacecraft to the International Space Station and successfully recovered the “Falcon 9” carrier rocket. This is the first time in the history of human space that a commercial space shuttle has been used to carry astronauts, opening the era of commercialization of space technology!
The success of this NASA space shuttle mission instantly caused the value of Space X stock to skyrocket! After all, the last time the United States transported astronauts to the space station was nine years ago. In the past few years, the United States has been “buying seats” with the Russian government to carry American astronauts. But more importantly, the dream of Elon Musk alone made all mankind begin to believe: Maybe one day we can travel in outer space as we please!
>> NASA announced that it will cooperate with Space X to send Tom Cruise to outer space to shoot “Mission Impossible”
Elon Musk 15. Will he work with the Japanese to find the existence of aliens?
Although Elon Musk has written a page in human space history, this is far from his dream! Those who are concerned about space technology must know that Elon Musk is also one of the countless humans on this earth who “believe in the existence of aliens”; some people think this is a fantasy, but some people choose to believe it until he can prove that they don’t exist. .
Elon Musk is obviously the latter, and all his most romantic and beautiful fantasy of outer space, after meeting this “Japanese”, he has a firmer and more practical plan! He is the Japanese entrepreneur who founded the online shopping malls Start Today and Zozo Town by Yusaku Maesawa. The two started the “dearMoon” project and vowed to take a group of humans around the moon within 5 years! Maesawa Yusaku sponsored a “remarkable huge amount”. After all, this dream is worthy of bankruptcy!
In 2020, Elon Musk can’t stop the lust in his heart. He said that in addition to the dearMoon plan, in addition to taking people to the moon to play, maybe he can also “circle Mars by the way” for sightseeing! Anyway, I don’t believe it when others say it, but the power of Elon Musk’s dream may really achieve unexpected things!

Elon Musk 16. His working philosophy, we may not learn
Elon Musk once confessed that after he founded Space X and Tesla, he spent about 80 to 100 hours at work a week! “If someone else has 40 hours a week at work, and you spend 100 hours at work; even if everyone is doing the same thing, you will still finish it in 4 months, something they can finish in a year.”
Foreign media also broke the news that when a Tesla executive told Elon Musk that employees were complaining about too long working hours, he replied: “I will tell them, “When the company goes bankrupt, you can Stay with your family more.”
There is only a thin line between genius and madman. Success and failure may be… just a choice of lifestyle.
Elon Musk 17. Once asked a Taiwan girl to “get out of the office!”
She is Laura Huang, the first Taiwanese female professor at Harvard Business School! In her book “Breaking the Game EDGE”, she talked about her story with Elon Musk. In 2015, she finally won the opportunity to meet Musk, but when she came to the CEO’s office on time, before she could say hello, Musk suddenly said, “No, get out of my office.” The harsh attitude made her. Somewhat at a loss, but Huang Leren chose to “laugh”.
As if infected by her laughter, Elon Musk also started to laugh. Huang Leren discovered at that time: “It turns out that he saw an unwrapped gift in my hand! He didn’t expect me to be a scholar. I thought I was an entrepreneur holding a prototype of the product and was going to ask him for funding.” The two talked for a few hours that day about some ideas about the company’s operations; before leaving, Elon Musk took the initiative to take out the Space X director’s business card. He also said that she could provide the information she needed for her research and gave Huang Leren a hug.
Although this story is the positive energy of the heart written by this Taiwanese girl, it also allows us to discover Elon Musk’s determination, courage, diligence, and enlightenment.
Elon Musk 18. Since he was 8 years old, he spends 5 hours a day reading
Although Elon Musk hates school, he never stops studying! Like Bill Gates, he will spare at least 5 hours a day to read. He once confessed that he was “very playful” during his college years. After he was promoted to a successful entrepreneur, we also found that he often went to nightclubs and took his sisters to hotels… But all the craziness may be built on the basis of his three times the effort.
Some people commented that Elon Musk and Bill Gates, perhaps “neither are geniuses” are just “lunatics who work harder to acquire knowledge than ordinary people.”

Elon Musk 19. His salary at Tesla is…1 yuan
Tesla Tesla is the largest electric vehicle and solar panel company in the United States and one of the brands with the highest market share of electric vehicles in various countries. You may be wondering, as Tesla CEO Elon Musk, how can he only receive an annual salary of $1? In addition to the fact that he owns more than 32% of the company’s shares, it is rumored to be because Elon Musk has “higher returns on other investments,” and Tesla actually does not earn much (?)
Interestingly, the reason why Elon Musk was named “the world’s second richest man” is entirely due to the recent appreciation of Tesla’s stock! He defeated Bill Gates with total assets of US$127.9 billion and approximately US$3.62 trillion. With the vigorous development of “renewable energy” and “space technology”, Elon Musk’s becoming the world’s richest man is just around the corner! It can only be said that he had a unique vision 30 years ago, and the three goals he set for himself can indeed write down human history.
Elon Musk 20. He is a fan of various superheroes, but there is one condition…
Elon Musk has loved reading since he was a child, but he also likes comics and fantasy novels very much! Judging from the fact that his ex-wife is a novelist, it is not surprising. His favorite novel is “The Lord of the Rings”, his favorite comics are “Batman”, “Superman”, “Doctor Strange”, and of course “Iron Man”!
But to become Elon Musk’s favorite superhero, there is a condition, that is, his “super power” must conform to some logic or knowledge! He once said in an interview: “I often fantasize that these superheroes can really exist someday in the future!”
With the “certification” of this technology ghost, the creators of these superheroes have done enough research homework!
