Born in a small town in South Africa, he earned his first $500 by developing game software, and now his net worth is close to $250 billion - this guy's rise to success can be considered “cheating.”
In the early days of the internet, they targeted the hot spots: Zip2 sold for over 300 million dollars, and X.com (later PayPal) brought in 180 million when it was sold. This was just the warm-up.
The real way to get rich relies on these three driving forces:
Tesla - An inconspicuous electric vehicle company in 2004, now the most valuable automaker in the world. When its stock price surpassed $1000 in 2020, this guy's fortune skyrocketed. In the past two years, the growth rate in the Chinese market has exceeded 100%, and Tesla has become his cash cow.
SpaceX - After successfully recovering rockets, NASA directly awarded him a $1.6 billion contract. Now the Starship is sending one after another into the sky, each time breaking records.
Twitter - Acquired for 44 billion, although it was difficult to turn losses into profits at one point, the value of controlling public opinion is immeasurable.
Core Secrets: Not afraid of losing money, daring to go all in, able to talk the talk and walk the walk. The first four rocket explosions did not lead to bankruptcy, and only on the fifth time did it succeed—this psychological quality is not something everyone possesses.
He's still working on AI (xAI), brain-computer interfaces (Neuralink), Starlink network… This guy never rests, he wants to be number one in every field.
To be honest, having seen a net worth shrink by 200 billion (during that wave in 2022), still daring to bring it back hard—this is the true mindset of a wealthy person.
