Elon Musk is a super cool entrepreneur who is known for his innovative thinking and his RICH ideas. Elon was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria South Africa. Growing up Musk had a passion for technology and science. At the age of only 12 years old, Elon created a video game called Blastar (relates to his Rocketship). After making it he eventually sold it for about 500 dollars, this shows his early signs of him and his Entrepreneurial mind. Growing up like many children he was bullied, and one day a group of boys pushed him down the stairs landing him in the hospital. Musk did not quit working on his dream. Soon he developed multibillion-dollar establishments such as Tesla, and Space X. His adversaries did not stop him from becoming the successful man he is today. Though he had gone through a lot growing up he still had fights left in him to become successful, he inspires me personally because knowing that he had been bullied like many other kids shows that it doesn’t define you and one day you will do great things! Musk moved to the United States to attend the University of Pennsylvania, (WHERE I LIVE), and he had created a product called Zip 2 which not to mention is also a multibillion-dollar establishment!
I’m so glad that you decided to write about Elon because I believe he is one the best entrepreneurs that we have ever seen. Between what he is doing with Tesla and Space X it is just incredible. I loved your post and I thought it was great.
This was an interesting post for me because I never knew anything about Elon’s childhood and how he got started in the entrepreneurial world. It is cool to see he started at age 12. I guess some people are just naturally gifted with that instinct to create things. A good lesson I have gathered from Elon’s many ventures is to never fear failure. As I can see from this post, he has done a lot of different things, and I am sure not everything he tries succeeds. Imagine if he stopped trying when he was 12 because his videogame didn’t sell for as much as he wanted. Also, the Cybertruck is still pretty ugly but its growing on me.
Hannah, I enjoyed reading your post! It’s hard not to think of Elon Musk when thinking of modern day entrepreneurship, even though he is a bit older. It is wild to think that he got his entrepreneurial start at such a young age, and now he is the richest man in the world. I think it is inspiring how someone can have such crazy dreams and turn them into a reality. Overall, great work with your research!
