[ Facts about ] Elon Musk, the MAN of the century
Hello Friends!
Let's start
Elon Musk has always been a thinker and a creator.On top of his executive roles with Tesla, SpaceX, and some others, Musk has time for some of his pleasures like playing video games and brainstorming even more big ideas.
As a child, him started coded his own video games. He always found resourceful ways to make money, and after he graduated from college, he opted for entrepreneurship rather than wait for an internet company to take notice of him.
Below are 5 facts and anecdotes about Musk. Enjoy!
1º. He wrote and sold a video game in 1984.
It was called Blastar, and Musk, then 12, received $500 when its source code was published in the South African magazine PC and Office Technology.
The objective of the game is to destroy an alien ship filled with weapons of mass destruction. While it’s a rudimentary game, don’t forget that it was created by a preteen nearly 33 years ago.
2º. He’s the real-life Tony Stark.
Musk was the inspiration for Robert Downey, Jr.’s character, Tony Stark, in the Iron Man franchise.
When the first Iron Man film was released, director Jon Favreau explained that Musk had inspired Downey’s interpretation of the character. Musk had a cameo in Iron Man 2.
3º. His secret to success is staying clean.
When a Reddit user asked him, “What daily habit do you believe has the largest positive impact on your life?” Musk didn't respond with one of the usual suspects -- waking up early, expressing gratitude, meditating -- but “showering.”
4º He almost went broke.
Musk was living off loans from his wealthy friends. Musk put his last $35 million into Tesla and maintained his stake in the company, despite his lack of cash.
Tesla went public, and today it’s valued at more than $33.4 billion, while Musk himself is worth $12.7 billion, according to Forbes.
5º He’s a father of five.
Musk has five sons with his ex-wife Justine Wilson.
Twins Griffin and Xavier were born in 2004, and triplets Damian, Saxon and Kai were born in 2006.
The couple also had a son named Nevada, born in 2002 and named after the location of Burning Man, the music and arts festival where he was conceived, though he died of sudden infant death syndrome at 10 weeks of age.

He is a fraud, do you know anything he has actually patented? He doesn't invent he just rehashes old ideas. Pay pal is about it, other than that some door latches or some other run of the mill part, hardly "genius".
