The richest man in the world made himself: he built his empire piece by piece that, with Twitter, could grow and diversify further. At the moment it includes the colossus of Tesla electric cars but also SpaceX for the conquest of Marsin addition to Neuralink and The Boring Company, the company specializing in infrastructure and tunnel construction services also made headlines for selling a ‘flamethrower’ for a limited time.
Musk took his first steps at 12 with linvention of a video game, Blastar, later sold for $ 500. In 1995 he founded Zip2 with his brother Kimball, and then sold it a few years later to Compaq for 307 million. The sale earned Musk his first 22 million, a treasure with which he laid the foundations of his empire. In 1999 he founded X.com, which later became PayPal. In 2006, he lined up in support of SolarCity, a renewable energy company founded by two of his cousins and later bought by Tesla.
Tesla is Musk’s creature, the one who brought him to the fore on the world stage. The billionaire co-founded it and took over the reins in 2008: since then Tesla – in spite of the cassandras – has established itself globally and pushed its business beyond just the production of cars. around the world and is one of the most valuable companies in the world.
SpaceX was founded by Musk in 2002 and has become one of the stars of the space industry, to the satisfaction of the billionaire-visionary obsessed with the conquest of Mars. SpaceX’s long-term goal is in fact to reach the red planet and build a city there.
Neuralink is another Musk gem. Specializing in artificial intelligence, she is working on a project to connect the brain directly to a machine, a device, with enormous potential developments starting in the health field. The chip can allow a computer to translate a person’s thoughts into actions in real time.
The boring company worth 5.67 billion and was founded by Musk in 2016 with the aim of building high-speed hyperloops as transportation systems in cities.
