so this is an ATM what we're gonna do is transform the traditional banking
industry before Elon Musk would be the creator of companies like Tesla open AI
PayPal SpaceX and it would bulk up his bank account into the billions so that
is is that true that's delightful before Elon Musk would make cameos or
movie appearances a minute black International The Simpsons South Park
why him Rick and Morty the Big Bang Theory in
Iron Man 2 mr. mas and like Tony Stark Elon would wow the world spending his
time and energy of some truly miraculous technology advancements well maybe that
was a little too hard hey even Tony's armor had to start somewhere and just
like Tony well Elon he got his star thanks to dear old pops and a $28,000
loan which the Elance credit he was able to transform into a business empire and
a personal net worth of over 20 3.5 billion dollars now for those of you
keeping track at home that's nearly 10 billion more than he's worth the last
time we made this video and we'll Finley it's not that surprising for a man that
was fascinated with computers and engineering from a very young age
in fact he sold his first piece of code at the age of just 13 but like every
good story he loves is full of ups and downs for every space X there's a
divorce to go along with it and for every PayPal well another
divorce often times through the same woman don't worry I'll get into all the
ins and outs of this as they tell the story of a man who became a
multi-millionaire before his 30th birthday I'm your boy Michael cretin
documenting the life and career of Elon Musk prior to fame here for you of
course I'm before their famous this is an updated video now we hope you enjoy
this one don't forget to hit subscribe you can check out our other rich life on
Elim we drop last week all right now let's get into this video
hey be sure to subscribe and hit that Bell boom
Elan breathe musk was born on June 28th 1971 in Pretoria South Africa now anyone
with access to his ancestry.com profile they would discover a predominantly
British background but some of his predecessors were even Amish with his
grandfather growing up in the American Midwest now his mother may she was a
model and a dietitian I guess we know where his good looks came from while her
and the hair plugs both of which are clearly miracle-workers you know I mean
his father Errol was more a regular Joe if you consider being an
electromechanical engineer a pilot and a sailor regular and Elon well he grew up
alongside his younger siblings his brother Kimball and his sister Tosca
perhaps most unsurprising of every other fact that I'm gonna mention in this
video well a LAN he grew up a big fan of comic books
he told Bloomberg I read all the comics I could buy that they would let me read
in the book star before chasing me away now this was a pastime that no doubt
came too heavily influenced his passion to inhibitions for the future now
according to a David Lewis a comic book author and comics scholar he had this to
say about elan science-based storylines were at a zenith in comic books around
the time musk was a kid in the 80s it's easy to see how the theme could have
sparked Musk's fascination with space travel technology and energy but life is
a child it wasn't all gorgeous mothers and comic books for Elon that was
parents they separated in 1980 and his father became his primary caregiver now
these were traumatic years for the young boy the bullying I'll get to in just a
minute no money was good but there was a lot of turbulence in his house him and
his father they never got along and he actually described his childhood as
being miserable still to this day he doesn't even speak to his dad now with a
beautiful sized hole left in his heart but Elon he set out to find something to
fill away and boy did he ever he taught himself programming with a Commodore
vic-20 and when he was 12 years old he sold his first creation of
game called blaster to a magazine called PC and office technology huh if you're
such a big comic geek I'm gonna take an educated guess and to where the name
blaster came from see mom and dad reading comic books can really go
hand-in-hand with success now of course there's a dark side to reading so many
comic books and having well let's just be kind and call them less than popular
hobbies and like so many that came before him and those who came after well
Elon Musk he had to deal with being bullied throughout his childhood
now once got so bad that a group of men they threw him down a flight of stairs
and knocked him unconscious which actually landed him in the hospital you
know what they say every dark cloud has a silver lining and I'm sure we all know
that Elon Musk he was probably reading some comic books while he was lying in
that hospital bed so you know in the end it all came together you can't turn a
brain like that off it won't be denied now after attending water Clough house
preparatory school and then Pretoria Boys High School well Elon he moved to
Canada on his 18th birthday having gained citizenship through his mother of
course her bein smokin hot and totally makes sense now seriously the next time
you're on the streets of downtown Toronto just take a look around just
watch out for Toronto chair girl she's bad
no Elon he studied at one of Canada's finest schools Queens University which
has produced some remarkable individuals we're talking about the likes of Tom
Cavanagh Natalia Ricci and Michael on dattaji but famous people aren't the
only thing that Queen's University produces it also helped produce
Zealand's first marriage to Justine Wilson a woman who would become a
successful author in her own merit now at this point Elan he was still only a
mere mortal himself and after spending two years at Queen's will he jumped
around a little bit now first he transferred to the University of
Pennsylvania then at 24 he LAN obtained an
undergraduate degree in physics and another economics one from the Wharton
School of Business a PhD in Applied Physics at Stanford was next on the
docket but after only two days in his studies
well Elon he dropped out to focus on creating new business enterprises his
first success was zipped a startup he developed with his brother
Kimball along with the a firm engine $28,000 loan he secured from his dear
old dad but unlike most of us who take money from our parents with promises of
paying it back only to never actually you know do so well he lied he was able
to make good on his after just four years zip to was sold and compact for
300 million dollars and over 30 million dollars in stock options now he loves
personal stake was reported to be worth nearly 22 million but the real question
is do you think pops asked for interest he probably didn't even have to ask his
son Elon he kind of seems like a good guy even if he hates his dad you still
give him a little thank-you present you know what I mean
I'm still under 30 and now a multi-millionaire well Elon he cannot be
stopped he quickly moved on to his next venture
one that would make him even richer in 1999 he co-founded a website known only
as XCOM which would one day turn into the world's leading amateur porn site
but now I'm just playing with you that's not what XCOM is no according to my
researchers it's actually a financial service website that allowed people to
email money back and forth huh I bet that's around the time that emails start
developing viruses like the rest of us now if you take one thing and one thing
only away from this video keep yourself wrapped up tight both physically and
digitally and after only one year will Ilana he was able to merge XCOM with
another company and from that beautiful union while PayPal was born and 2002
eBay bought musts new his creation for 1.5 billion with Elon personally taking
home around 165 million see he is smart know well his career may have been going
well Elon personal life was anything but
around the time of his big eBay buyout well Elon first child died at just ten
weeks old this was from sudden infant death syndrome but of course there's one
thing you could say about Elon Musk he doesn't let anything stand in his way
no after receiving his payout from PayPal Elon he invested 100 million in a
SpaceX tasked with developing and manufacturing
spacecrafts of rockets no NASA would quickly latch on to the company
providing them with billion dollar contracts to become the largest private
producer of rocket motors in the world now this privatization of space was a
controversial decision and one that the Titans of the industry and like Neil
Armstrong and Eugene Cerrone well they've criticized I was very sad
to see that because those guys are yeah you know those guys are heroes of mine
so it's really tough you know I wish they would come and visit and see the
hardware that were doing here and I think that would change their mind no
despite his real-life heroes not wanting anything to do with them well Elon he
pushed ever onward in 2008 the company launched its first privately funded
liquid fueled vehicle that successfully placed the satellite in orbit they
followed this up by becoming the first private company to launch and birth a
vehicle to the International Space Station this was in 2012 but backed on
the ground in the real world all of these accomplishments paled in
comparison to the Ilan's work with Tesla a company he has become completely
synonymous with Tesla was founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and marked
happening the following years when Elon invested in the company and became the
chairman of the board know he loves interest in the company it's stem more
from the creative side and he was often involved with the product design and he
didn't really have to deal with the day-to-day business side of the
operation something I wish I could say about this business but I can't my 2004
Ilan's business success was finally beginning to dovetail with personal
success this was with the help of in vitro fertilization Justine and Elon
they gave birth to a set of twins Xavier and Griffin comes boutique sorry
something got stuck in my throat now it was around this time that Elon he
finally started to settle into the wider consciousness of the people of the world
around him and he emerged as a public figure
he even got a small cameo in the movie thank you for smoking now in 2006 Elon
II created solar city which would go on become the second largest provider of
solar power systems in the United States now that same year
Ilana Justine they would well a set of triplets into the world
Damien's accident I know comic book reference there and because I know
you're already wondering now I couldn't find any Marvel characters that share
names with those three so my best guess is that mom she finally got a chance to
name her own children okay we did do a deep dive search it turns out that Saxon
is the alias of a little no Marvel super villain known as Machine Smith so
there's that but it's bit of a reach now even the 2008 financial crisis it
couldn't keep Ilan down now that's the year he became the CEO of Tesla and the
company quickly gained widespread attention for the Tesla Roadster the
world's first electric sports car but at the home front
well discord reared its ugly head once again now Elon and Justine they
separated and he quickly began dating English actress Talulah Riley 2010 was a
watershed year in the life of Elon Musk not only did he marry Tallulah but he
also appeared in Iron Man 2 standing shoulder to shoulder and hair plug to
hair plug with Tony Stark now he followed this up with further
appearances on shows like South Park The Simpsons The Big Bang Theory and movies
like why him but then 2012 came along to throw yet another monkey wrench into his
personal life Ilana tallulah well they got divorced
only it didn't take and then they got remarried in 2013
Ilana he then filed for divorce again the next year and you think that would
be the end of it but then he cancelled that request for the divorce
which is like shortly after he filed it and the two they would stay together for
a further three years but by 2016 their divorce finally took yeah don't worry
though Elon has since gone back to his roots dating yet another Canadian artist
good for him I told you boys the streets of Toronto they're aware of that the
billionaires can't be wrong no more recently Elon has founded a non-profit
artificial intelligence research company called open AI a high-bandwidth brain
machine interface I think we can actually go along for the ride and we
can effectively have the option of merging with AI yeah that's worked out
so well in every movie we've ever seen about AI good luck and now he's even
dabbling in the art recreating infamous movie props for
real-life use that was a joke I actually am a huge fan of the cyber
truck I actually placed an order ads for the rest of the story well I think we're
gonna wrap this one up here because this is before they're famous my name is
Michael Cretu and every once in a while we'll take a look back at an older video
we've done and we're like we could have done more we could spruce that up we can
