Hello friend! Today, in our time, Elon musk
[19]
stands at the 40th position in the world's top billionnaires list.
[23]
While this video is being made, his net worth is 20.6 billion US dollars.
[27]
In 10-15 years, there are chances for him to become the world's richest man.
[32]
People call Elon Musk the Real World Iron Man because
[35]
he thinks just like Iron Man, runs many technology-related companies and
[41]
he is also very rich. This is why he is known as the real world iron man.
[46]
After Steve Jobs, Elon musk was the person who created a revolution in technology.
[51]
Since he is an inspiration to everyone, we are going to see about his biography today.
[57]
Along with his biography, we are also going to learn about his unique qualities, because
[62]
if you learn about these qualities
[64]
and follow it a liitle, you can atleast become a millionnaire.
[68]
Elon Musk's childhood days were miserable.
[72]
His parents got divorced, and so, he was with his dad.
[76]
Since his dad was strict, his childhood wasn't that happy.
[80]
Even in school everyone used to bully him.Everyone hits him, and
[84]
once, they hit him so hard,that his nose broke and he became unconscious.
[90]
Because of this, he was admitted in the hospital.
When he was young, he wasn't that special.
[95]
No one would have expected him to be in the status he is, right now.But,
[99]
right from his young age, elon musk had a special quality,
[104]
i.e, reading books. Right from his young age, not only did he read school books, he also
[109]
read a lot of books on the topic he was interested in.
[112]
It seems that if he starts reading a book, he can do it continuously for 5 to 10 hours straight and
[116]
not even that, he used to easily finish two whole books in a single weekend.
[120]
If Elon Musk wasn't at home, his mom used to directly go and check two libraries nearby, and would easily find him because
[126]
he would always be in the library and finish reading all the books there.
[132]
He always asks the librairians to bring more and more books to the library.
[136]
Since he didn't get any books to read, he finished reading an entire encyclopedia.
[141]
When Elon Musk was asked "How do you know about rocket, space, technology,
[145]
how do you know about these things?", he seriously replied,"I learnt about them in books".
[151]
Thus, if you also want to become like Elon Musk, his first quality is "Read Read Read"
[157]
Elon Musk always reads books and learns the information he needs.
[162]
So, you also start reading books and improve your knowledge.
[166]
In this world,the common habit of the people who achieve big is to read books. This is the reason
[172]
we are posting videos based on reviews of good books on our channel so that this habit can reach everyone.
[178]

[190]
So coming back to Elon's story, unlike others, he will not leave the knowledge he gained from books without using it,
[196]
he will apply what he has learnt and will also use it to create something new.
[201]
when he was 12 years old, he read and learnt coding through a book. He himself coded and created a game during that time.
[207]
The name of that game was Blastar. Today, if you search for blastar on the internet,
[212]
you can also play the game online.
[215]
Elon Musk sold this game for $500.
[218]
This was his first business. Elon Musk likes playing games,
[222]
and because of this, along with his brother, he thought of opening an arcade gaming shop.
[226]
He had found a place for the shop, had finished deals with gaming-equipment dealers.
[232]
But, since both of them weren't adults,
[235]
they couldn't get a permit to start it as a company.
[239]
Even their parents didn't support them. Because of this he couldn't execute his plan.
[244]
Elon Musk was born in South Africa, he didn't like the government, because
[249]
at that time the government told that everyone must work for the military.
[253]
So, he moved from South Africa to Canada. Here, he was doing small jobs.
[258]
After this, he came to the USA to study in a college. He had a dual degree in Business and Physics,
[264]
and then, he went to Stanford to do a PhD in Physics. But, it was at this time, the internet was booming.
[270]
Seeing that the internet was booming, he thought of starting an internet-based company and dropped out of college.
[276]
His idea was to bring yellow pages to the internet.
The idea of
[280]
getting information of local businesses in the internet gave him a huge success.
[286]
The company's name was Zip2 and Compaq bought the company for $307 million.
[292]
Because of this dealing, Musk got $22 million. While all of this happened, he was 28 years old.
[298]
Therefore, "Being a creator" is Musk's second quality.
[302]
He not only reads, but also applies what he has learnt to keep creating new things.
[308]
Other than being a consumer, he also aims at being a creator.
[311]
When he knew that there was a problem in his own country, instead of being reactive like others, he was proactive
[318]
and has changed his situation. He has applied what he studied,
[322]
been a creator and has become a millionnaire.
[325]
When he was 28 years old, after he became a millionnaire, if he wanted, he could have relaxed and retired.
[330]
But he didn't think it like that. In fact, he never saw it as a big achievement.
[335]
He wanted to acheive something even bigger, and wanted to start a business in the finance line.
[341]
As there wasn't any major change in the finance line for quite a long time, he chose this sector.
[346]
At that time, transactions were majorly done through cheques. Because of this, payments were reaching people with lots of delay.
[354]
Because of this, to create a revolution in the finance industry, he decided to start a company.
[359]
The company's name was x.com. X.com's main idea was to make payments through the internet.
[366]
A similar company named PayPal had been started by Peter Thiel.
[371]
X.com and PayPal were competitors in the online payment sector.
[376]
Finally, both the companies merged and formed PayPal.
[379]
The members and co-founders of PayPal are superb business persons. All these people are called PayPal Mafia,
[388]
as these people have started many businesses even after PayPal,
[393]
and out of these businesses, many of them have become successful.
[396]
The creators of Youtube in which you are watching this video right now were a part of the PayPal Mafia.
[403]
In 2002, Ebay bought this PayPal company for $1.5 billion. From this, Musk got $180 million.
[411]
Even after getting $180 million, without relaxing,
[415]
to save human life and make them a multiplanetary species, he immediately started 3 companies,
[424]
SpaceX, Tesla and Solar City.
[426]
From the $180 million he had, he invested $100 million in SpaceX, $60 million in Tesla, and $20 million in Solar City,
[437]
after which he did not have money for rent and took loan from others.
[440]
Though Elon had a lot of money, he didn't think of settling in life.
[444]
He always wanted to achieve something big in life. Therefore, you should also think of achieving something big.
[450]
Some people say that "He does it as he wants to earn more money. That is why he is doing this." and you will think like that too.
[456]
But it is not true. From a very young age, he reads a lot of books, and the same way, he also reads comic books.
[462]
In the comic books, just like how superheroes try to save the world, he also thinks of saving us.
[466]
He is doing all of this to achieve his childhood dreams.
[470]
In 2002, he started a company called SpaceX, and the company's vision was to take even normal people to space,
[478]
humans should be taken to Mars and they must become a multiplanetary species.
[483]
As the world is facing a lot of problems like global warming,
[489]
he thinks that even if something happens to the world in the future, we can still live in Mars.
[492]
Because of this, humans can survive as a species.
[496]
He suffered a lot to run a private space agency or a rocket company,
[501]
as all the other space agencies were being run by the government.
[504]
Rocket launches also cost a lot, and a private company cannot handle it.
[509]
So, SpaceX thought of creating a reusable rocket-launch system.
[513]
Because of this, instead of having the rocket-launch boosters as use-and-throw, they changed it so that it can be used 3-4 times,
[521]
as this was the part of the rocket that had the highest cost.
[525]
This was the company's first achievement. For this achievement, the company suffered a lot.
[530]
They did 3 rocket launches, and when they tried to land, all 3 of them failed.
[535]
The reuseable rocket system succeeded only during their 4th attempt.
[540]
After this, NASA signed a $1.5 billion bill
with SpaceX.
[546]
Recently, SpaceX's biggest achievement was the launch of a rocket called Falcon Heavy
[551]
inside which there was Tesla's roadster car along with a starman, into space.
[556]
In 2003, Elon Musk invested $60 million in Tesla,
[561]
as pollution levels were high. As a result,
[564]
global warming went high and our Earth was getting spoilt.
[567]
Because of this, if we avoided using cars with fossil fuels, we could control pollution.
[573]
So, he thought of bringing electric cars to the market,
[576]
but, at that time, electric cars didn't look that good, and the batteries would also drain fast.
[583]
So, he thought that along with looking like a sports car,
[587]
if the batteries were long-lasting, everybody would buy electric cars.
[593]
Elon Musk wanted everyone to use electric cars, and so,
[596]
he told to the people using tesla cars that they would get a free lifetime charge.
[601]
Because of this, they would not have to use fossil fuels, i.e petrol and diesel,
[605]
and the environment would also not get polluted.
[608]
For this not to happen, all the petrol-diesel companies opposed Elon Musk,
[613]
because, if everyone started using electric cars,
these people's businesses will be at a loss.
[617]
Therfore, the companies didn't want Elon Musk to get success.
[621]
All these electric cars needed electricity.
[625]
So, in order to not use the energy created by fossil fuels,
[629]
he thought of using renewable sources like solar energy, and started a company called Solar City in 2006.
[636]
Solar City company thought that since keeping a solar panel above the roofs of houses won't look stylish,
[643]
the company created a product called solar roof.
[646]
It looks like a normal roof, but they all are solar panels.
[650]
It generates electricity and can be used to power a house.
[654]
From 2007-2008, Elon Musk faced a lot of problems.
It was at this time when he got divorced,
[659]
and since the market crashed, all of his companies went to a state where they almost had to be closed.
[665]
As already mentioned, it was at this time when the first three launches of SpaceX failed.
[670]
Tesla had enough money to run the company only for a week.
[674]
Because of him overcoming all of this and making SpaceX's 4th launch successful,
[679]
he had changed the bad situation and brought back all his companies to a good condition.
[685]
Therefore, even if you have difficulties in life,
[688]
even if many people oppose what you are trying to do, you should overcome all odds
[693]
and become successful. Not only does Elon Musk run these companies,
[698]
he has started "THE BORING COMPANY" and "hyperloop" for faster transportation,
[702]
and also artificial intelligence related companies such as "OpenAI" and "Neuralink".
[708]
These companies are also facing a lot of challenges,
[710]
let's see whether he is overcoming them or not.
[713]
I have told you all this from the book "ELON MUSK: Tesla, SpaceX and the Quest for a Fantastic Future" by ASHLEE VANCE.
