Who does not know a billionaire who is visionary and sophisticated. Elon Musk, the man who was born on June 28, 1971, is already 50 years old. All his businesses always contain elements of sophisticated technology.
Call it SpaceX which focuses on spacecraft, there is also the financial sector, namely PayPal. Of course, Tesla is no less spectacular, which upholds the automotive market. All the companies that are led smell of sophisticated technology, right?
The South African-born man inherited his talent from his father Errol Musk. Meanwhile, his model mother, Maye Musk, passed on Elon Musk’s flamboyance.
Elon Musk: A Visionary
Elon’s talent as a visionary in technology was evident when he was still in South Africa.
The man with three nationalities, namely South Africa, the US, and Canada, has been fond of the X-Men and all its knick-knacks since childhood. He is very interested in things related to robots in the superhero film.
This is one of the triggers that then made him interested in learning basic computer programming, at the age of 9 years.
The track record of his childhood genius can still be enjoyed today.
Elon created a game called “Blaster” when he was not even 10 years old, and it can still be played online.
This game was worth about 500 US dollars when he tried to sell it to an agency. It makes him seem to understand that technology can be a money-making machine in the future.
Encyclopedia maniac
In addition, little Elon is also called “encyclopedia maniac”. About 10 hours a day, he spends reading the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Apart from technology, Elon also found interest in the field of sci-fi, especially his films.
It’s no wonder that later on, he echoed his obsession with outer space, forming SpaceX, which is still active in the space field.
Young Elon then attended the University of Pennsylvania, then continued at Stanford University majoring in physics to further hone himself.
However, technology has always impressed him more. Years of study are considered too long. As a result, he only studied for two days, and preferred to take care of the technology business at his new company–which is now known to the world as PayPal.
Elon is a vivid example that when technology has become an obsession, the best thing to do is to keep heating the engine up, and then to blast it as far as possible.
The engine that is still running perfectly is named Elon Musk, the technological visionary of this century.
