Did something click in your mind?
Paypal? Space X? Tesla? Or maybe zip2?
But are you aware of his actual journey?
I guess many of you don't. Here are many lessons which you will learn from his journey.
I have underlined the important points to make your reading easy. You might skip the boring part and shift to the next subhead.
Do you know about his origin, his childhood life, education, or how he started his business and reached such heights!!?
But Voila!!
All you need is to read this blog and at the end, you'll be able to answer all my questions.
Early Age
At an early age, Musk developed an interest in computers. He taught himself how to program, and at the age of 12, he sold his first software: a game he created called Blaster.
In his school time, Musk was short, introverted, and a bookish student. In an interview, he talked about his incredible superpower to remember anything he reads.
Early Life: Family
His mother, Maye Musk, is a Canadian model and the oldest woman to star in a Covergirl campaign. When Musk was growing up, she worked five jobs at one point to support her family.
His father, Errol Musk, is a wealthy South African engineer.
His father was a divorcee.
Education
At the age of 17, in 1989, Musk moved to Canada to attend Queen’s University and he obtained his Canadian citizenship that year.
He is one of the most educative and psycho-reader personalities. Yes, today he is the richest person alive on Earth (maybe Mars also after a few years😂).
But it was always not the same. There was a time when he didn't even have a single dollar to spend. He does not have a house to live in.
Let us take a deep dive into the Business life of Elon Musk and try to understand the business behind this man.
In 1992, Musk left Canada to study business and physics at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated with an undergraduate degree in economics and stayed for a second bachelor’s degree in physics.
After leaving Penn, Musk attended the Stanford University of California to pursue a Ph.D. in energy physics. He foresees the future and has his first move. He timed perfectly with the Internet boom and dropped out of Stanford.
Elon Musk: Business and failure
After just two days to become a part of it, launching his first company, Zip2 Corporation in 1995. Musk became a U.S. citizen in 2002.
He hired a few people. They were older than him. Later on, they removed Musk from his own company and gave him a few shares.
After selling his equity from Zip2 and Paypal, he was the owner of $ 100 million.
After leaving the thought of investing in solar power. He also invested in the space business. The company is well known to all of us, SpaceX and Tesla.
Tesla was not doing good at that time and SpaceX also was a failure. In a recent interview with a news channel he said that the worst time in his life was when Neil Armstrong, his inspiration said that Mars's dream was just a childish thought. 
Reminding of Musk's company. Both of Musk's companies were suffering from loss and insolvency. He decided to invest all of his money and personal belongings in the companies. For months he slept on the floor of the factory, and he sold his house too.
2008 was the worst year for the American Economy and Elon Musk. The great depression for the US 3 rocket failures and Tesla car failure gives a setback to a 37-year-old man.
He was left with minimum resources. Still, he gave a try to the Rocket. After the hard work of 3 months, he made another rocket with his team. He believes that a company is like a child. You need to feed it even if it ruins you.
It was a success. SpaceX was successful in reaching the Mars orbit.
Elon Musk believes that the vision of the future drives him to do and accomplish goals. Giving up should be the last choice.
Conclusion
The conclusion that I desperately wanted to share is, to remove your social media connection and improve your connection with ideas, hope, and enthusiasm keeping circumstances negative.
We focus on, the results rather than looking upon the struggles and learning from them. This is why we're not in his place!
