In a world filled with people who are content to just go through the motions, Elon Musk is a breath of fresh air. He’s a man who isn’t afraid to take risks, follow his dreams, and change the game. So, it should come as no surprise that he’s one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our generation.
Born in South Africa in 1971, Musk showed signs of entrepreneurship at an early age. When he was 12, he famously created a video game called Blastar and sold it to a computer magazine for $500. He was valedictorian of his high school class and went on to attend Stanford University for two days before dropping out to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams.
Musk has since gone on to co-found PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla Motors, and SolarCity. He is now worth an estimated $13.9 billion and is regularly ranked by Forbes as one of the most powerful people in the world. Not bad for a guy who dropped out of college!
Elon Reeve Musk has been born on June 28th, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa. He was born into a wealthy family; his father was an electromechanical engineer while his mother was a model and dietitian. When Musk was nine years old, his parents divorced and he ended up living with his father.
Musk has said that growing up in South Africa was not easy; he was often bullied because he was nerdy and introverted. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Musk recalled being pushed down a flight of stairs and having his face smashed into concrete by older kids. Despite the challenges he faced growing up, Musk remained focused on his studies and graduated from Pretoria Boys High School as valedictorian at the age of 17.
After graduation, Musk headed to Canada to attend Queen’s University but ended up transferring to the University of Pennsylvania two years after, where he received dual bachelor’s degrees in economics and physics. He considered staying in school to get a PhD but decided against it after realizing that it would delay him starting his own business venture. So instead, he moved to California to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams. And the rest, as they say, is history!
Gladly, the Elon Musk Biography is available in Hindi language. You can easily purchase it from Amazon and read it directly on your Kindle device. The translator is no other than Purnima Mazumdar, who has translated and written countless other books.
The translation is generally regarded as very well done.
