Elon Musk's parents, Errol Musk and May Mask married in 1970. <br>
They have three childreen: Elon, Kimball and Tosca Musk. <br>
Three years later they got divorced and the children stayed with their father. <br> <br>
Elon Musk was bullied in school, so he prefered to study alone. <br>
<b>When he was 12, he sold a computer game of his own design Blastar for 500$.</b> <br>
The earned money he invested in the pharmatiutical companies. <br>
He later sold his stocks and bought a ticket to Canada <br>
<b>against father's solution</b> and immigrated there. <br> <br>
His mother was born in Canada, so he got Canadian citizenship. <br>
Elon made this step, because he didn't want to serve <br>
in the army of South Africa and because he knew that <br>
the best technologies are often originate in the North America. <br>

It is important to say, that Elon's escape <br>
from South Africa wasn't well planned. <br>
All that Elon knew was that he had great uncle in Montreal. <br>
<u>So he got on a plane and relied on luck.</u> <br> <br>
After the plane landed he tried to find his great <br>
uncle using help desk, but unsucessfully. <br>
It turned out that his great uncle had moved to Minnesota <br>
and Elon had no place to stay! <br> <br>
After this horrible start Elon Musk spent <br>
several days in a nearby hostel thinking what to do. <br>
Finally, <b>he travelled 3000km by bus</b> <br>
to a small city Swift Current, where his second cousin lived. <br> <br>
Throughout out the 1989 he worked on different "survival jobs". <br> <br>
In 1990, when Elon Musk was 19 years old, he was enrolled at <br>
<i>Queen's University at Kingston</i>. <br>
That's where he studied for 2 years until 1992. <br>

He flew to the USA and transferred from <i>Queen's University at Kingston</i> <br>
to the <i>University of Pennsylvania.</i> <br>
He was given a scholarship in it. <br>
Elon also graduated with bachelor's degrees in economics and applied physics there.
In 1995 at the age of 25, he entered <i>Standford university</i> <br>
to obtain a doctoral degree in applied physics and materials science. <br> <br>
However after a few days he left it, because <br>
he decided to take part in internet boom, <br>
launching <b>his first start-up Zip2 Corporation.</b> <br>

<span>
While developing Zip2 Elon Musk and his brother Cimball <br>
rented an office, where they were living and working. <br>
They had one computer, so Elon was working during the nights <br>
while his brother was working during the days. <br>
To have a shower they went to a gym nearby. <br> <br>
Their hard work was rewarded. The project was a huge success. <br>
In 1999 Compaq bought Zip2 for <b>$307 million</b>. <br>
<u>At the early age of 20 years Elon became a multimillionaire</u>. <br>

The money he earned were invested at Elon's new start-up - X.com, <br>
which was the first online banking company. <br>
A year later in 2000, it merged with Confinity (Peter Till's company) <br>
and became the famous PayPal. <br> <br>
Later this company was sold to eBay. <br>
The deal bought <b>$165 million</b> to Elon. <br>

In 2002, Elon Musk founded his third company - SpaceX. <br>
He invested <b>$100 million</b> in it. <br>
Elon Musk tried to hire the very best engineers for it, <br>
but no one believed in his private space company. <br>
So he became its CTO and took part in developing rockets himself. <br> <br>
After some successful launches in december of 2008 <br>
NASA signed contract a contract with SpaceX. <br>
This contract's worth was <b>$1,6 billions,</b> <br>
and it included 12 launches Falcon 9 and space ship Dragon to the ISS. <br>
