Elon Musk is more than just a billionaire entrepreneur — he’s a symbol of limitless ambition, a trailblazer in disruptive technology, and a man whose bold visions are actively reshaping the course of humanity. But before he became the founder of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and more, Musk was a curious boy in Pretoria, South Africa, obsessed with space, software, and science fiction.
Born in 1971, Elon Reeve Musk showed signs of genius from an early age. By 12, he had programmed and sold his first video game, Blastar. He was introverted, highly intelligent, and often bullied, but his obsession with technology and reading (especially science fiction and physics) laid the foundation for what would become a world-changing career.
